Ive had my alphawerks headers for about a month now and finally got my o2 sim from ZPI. But the problem is im electronicaly retarded . engine work, im good... electronics? its like a monkey effin a football. does anyone have pics of it installed? or maybe even a tutorial on how to install it. thanks.

 

As far as I know, according to what ZPI said to me, they're just plug and play and need no wire splicing at all.

 

well this is what ZPI sent me....


looks like it needs wiring to me. im sure i can figure it out using the diagram...

and some pointers. but where do i do this? i dont know where to wire it in is the problem.

 

It would appear that this is tapped into the wires of the O2 sensor. That little thing-a-ma-jiggy that is screwed into the header. If you slide back the black heat shield you will notice the 4 colored wires. They should match the wiring diagram. I would STRONGLY recommend you call ZPI tomorrow.

 

lil off topic but how does ur car drive after you installed the aw header? big difference?

Im installing monday !!



GLad i got the inti fouler that ____ looks complicated !!

 

huge difference. alot louder. didnt like that at first but i like it now. huge power gains. love it. youll notice the accelaration at higher speeds. like 60 to 75 is way faster than it was.

check out my pics if you wanna see the headers installed.

 

which o2 sensor? there are two, ive heard use the one on the header and ive heard use the one farther down. which one?

 

any gains from like 0-60 ? I usually dont care how fast from 60-70 i get lol

 

lots of accelleration all the way through 3rd gear. once it hits 3000 rpms it just takes off. awesome

 

ok so its not just high range . Ok cool mayb i can get my pzeros to squeel on take off with my auto We got the same setup except 4 exhaust i want a full ..

 

yeah, autos chirp when you hit the gas with alphawerks, so i hear

 

I hope so. im gunna keep modding until i can beat this snobby kid in a rsx type -s!!one day with out a turbo!

 

I'm assuming it's the second sensor because that's the one that would trip your check engine light. Jack up the passenger side of the car (use a jack stand). Then look at the o2 sensor, it's on the S-pipe. After you find it, wire it as stated. I'm sure you can use somewhere under the frame fro a chassis ground using an existing bolt. I suggest sanding the metal a little to get the best ground connection as possible, but after doing so, spray so paint over it to prevent/avoid corosion. Good luck.

 

thanks, ill try that. hopefully i dont eff it up

 

Good luck !

im getting that o2 sensor soon as well !

 

ill take pics as i attempt to wire it.... stay tuned

 

night night Hope you dont c that cel when ur done

 

me too man, me too

 

i am almost positive it's the 2nd o2 but you may want to ask zpi about it

 

It's the second one. If you think about it, that's the one that triggers the CEL not the first one. So there's no point in modifying the front o2 sensor signal at all.
