Multiple failures, need help! o2 sensor

Post by Sonac »

So I have a Innovate MTX-L Pro wideband. Removed the stock o2 sensor on the exhaust manifold just after the turbo and used a toyota adapter plate to put my wideband sensor there. Ran the yellow wire from the wideband (simulated narrowband) back to the engine bay where I hooked it to the original o2 sensor connector that goes to the ECU.

Played with the o2 mapping for the simulated narrowband a lot but after a few seconds the engine would keep going lean. Lean condition f***** my knock sensor which I just replaced. :ranting1:

Gave up with the stupid simulated narrowband as its clearly s*** so I just decided to put the stock o2 sensor back. Thought i'll have my mechanic weld a flange to the exhaust somewhere for the wideband sensor instead.

What would you know... o2 sensor bolts stripped their f****** threads. Now i'm left with a car I can't drive.
I don't see any damage to the threads in the exhaust manifold, I think its just the bolts that are f*****. :furious:

Does anyone know what size thread and length I need for new o2 sensor bolts? I want to replace them with studs and nuts instead to make it easier in the future. From what i've read elsewhere the size is M 8 and the Pitch is 1.25 but I just want to confirm beforehand.

Oh and to top it all off my boost controller died for no reason.

you could probably weld the wideband collar with the exhaust still on the car it wants to go at the bottom of the downpipe . have a look at berk decats to see where they put it. bolt size is probably right if it has a 10 mm head
