    extending an o2 wire set

    Wanted to know what type/ga wire i will need, and what the best method for splicing would be (connectors, quick splices, etc). need to stretch them out abou 2'. this is for a 4-wire late model o2.

    It all comes down to what they are wrapped in. If you can find some shielded stuff with high temp sheathing, you are golden. Usually best to solder that type of connection as it is all subject to high temps from the down pipes.

      The wires are stainless steel.

      how about the sensor from an OBD1 E36 or E34? the sensors/connectors are the same, just different lengths of wire.

        what about yanking a set from the yard and splicing it in to the existing? that way i'd only have one spliced point and legitimate wire.
