NGK.
$35.
that seems very cheap.
Why is it so cheap? If it's only because you have to splice the wires yourself, then i'm sold.

this bosch one is $106

is it better? or just better because its plug and play..

any info, comments, suggestions on others is appreciated.
thanks.

as they say, you get what you pay for..

As you can compare in the pictures the bosch is of much more quality.. the other one looks like a universal application.

I'd personally spend the extra bucks for assurance.. and for quality.

I had the same bosch in my old turbo and it performed as should and never failed.


PS, gta, Gta london, gta 2, FTMFW

 

[theKnifeArtist]

right, but we're talking about a 100 dollar difference here. i've heard of o2 sensors being used that were designed for different vehicles and still worked. i'm gonna wait for some more inputs


old school gta woot woot!

 

[Nomad707]

yeah.. just my opinion.. nothing more. if i was budgeted.. which i am.. i would definately buy the ngk..

 

[theKnifeArtist]

anyone else?

 

[Dr Chill]

Ngk

 

[theKnifeArtist]

anyone else?

I like my stock one

Plugs in, comes with the heat sheilding, gasket, and flange... My cheap one didn't last long the OEM one I have now has lasted much longer...

 

[Muzy]

Yea, you get what you pay for. ei, heat sheilding like what poddles said
and I also noticed what apeared to be RF sheilding when I was splicing mine
back together. Cheapy would live a while on a na, but I would not throw my
money away putting it on a turbo. Muzy

i think im gonna go for the 'less expensive' one.
i'll put an oscilloscope on it when its new and then test it after so many miles to see if/how its amplitude drops.

Im running one from an 89 mustang welded in an threaded bung spliced 3 wires, you can find them at any autoparts store and cheap Ive been running mine for over 4 years now.Usually about 30-40 $

 

[theKnifeArtist]

i bought the NGK one for like 35 bucks.

 

[empera]

i've used the ngk 3 wire with no problems.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

thats what im talkin about

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

The bosch one is more expensive as its a direct plug and play.

 

[grimreaper]

Mine is a few years old and the heater circuit is out of range. sucks until egts get above 600f or so. oem=16 years, NGK splice in = 4-5 years

This one they are O.E supplier!!!! for $35
They do a plug in one for $100 again o.e Supplier

 

[shaeff]

I grabbed one from Jon @ MDC. It's a Denso, splice the plug on (and heat wrap)- it was cheap.

 

[88supraTT]

hmm...i really need to get a o2 sensor installed asap. 10.0 afr at idle= clean plugs everytime just to get car to start :3d_frown:

 

[88supraTT]

what kind of mustang i need one that is screw in. i don't want to weld a flange onto my down pipe, much easier to weld a nut.
