For those people who put an after market O2 housing...
1) Did it throw a code after installation?
2) Which O2 housing to get for a IX?

 

I went with the TITEK. It shouldnt throw a code, although you MAY have to extend the o2 wiring a bit but not always.

 

Mine did throw a code for some reason but after a few miles of driving it went away. I've got the megan one works fine for me.

 

i have a megan o2 housing as well in the process of putting my o2 sensor in.. had to bring it somewhere and have it torched out. umm i have a code... because i didnt have my o2 sensor connected... but i was unable to tigthen it down good...so i went for a drive the code still was there now im taking the manifold off. and im going to tighten it down really good as best as i can. its a little rounded. the o2 sensor that is.

 

Megan is cheapest and seems to work good for me!

 

Anybody using the invidia O2 housing?

 

I have the Invidia. It's pretty nice, the sensor hole is a little rotated from the stock piece so the harness for the sensor has to be extended. Otherwise it's very nice. No codes or lights thrown yet.

Ebay housings work fine. If your still not sure~ port it and, it will still be cheaper than what the next o2 is selling for.

yea well like i said i had the car for a day without the o2 sensor in... and now i put it in after getting it out of the stock housing anddddd... i drove abut 4 miles to pick my mother up since i had her car in the mean time and the ses light still didnt go out...disconnected my battery...waiting about 10 mins... then i will see if it comes back on or goes out...

 

The SES light SHOULD definetly go away now that its reinstalled.

 

yea as im hoping... lol the car WAS fine before the install so your right it SHOULD

 

Yea mines came on after going 1 mile after installing my Megan 02. I guess the WD40 that was sprayed triggered the SES light. I just let it idle for 10 mins then reseted it and it never came back.

 

yea we'll see for me... i know everything has to adjust...i just with all the arguing with my father... about not having the o2 sensor in for a day and having the car sit...i dont know what his problem was...just want the light to go out ..
