Best brand o2 sensor to get ? Ngk , Bosch , etc ?
I need to get an oxygen sensor for my rebuild, i figured i might as well...
Think ill prolly go with the ngk, although some sites have been misleading about the applications it has ... NGK part# 24006 , sparkplugs.com lists it as not being used in RX7s , while at ngk.com it does (this is where i got the part #)...strange.
whered everyone get their o2 sensor and what brand..

Haven't we ALL heard this
Get the cheapest sensor you can ..... it really dosen't mater. It is JUST a single wire o2 sensor.
Might even find a bosch box has an NTK sensor (Which is built by NGK)

I just bought a bosch, but I haven't put it in yet... I think my current o2 sensor has been toast since I bought the vehicle, so it'll be interesting to see the difference a new one makes.

I bought the bosch, because I asked for an O2 sensor, he ordered it in, and when I got it, it was bosch.
I payed 60$ for mine... 14$ wtf? I got shafted..

A wideband O2 sensor is only needed to properly tune the engine.
You do not NEED anything better then a cheap bosche for the stock setup or any other setup that used a closed loop A/F system.
A wideband O2 sensor requires more electronics to work that will cost you nearly $400 new.
So let me say it once more for those in the back.
YOU DO NOT NEED AN EXPENSIVE O2 SENSOR FOR ANYTHING THAT IS NOT A WIDEBAND O2 GUAGE, MONITOR, DATALOGGER. If you're just running stock and do not need to tune an aftermarket ECU then you do not need a wideband system.

So there's an NTK (by NGK - says so on the box) and an NGK? Calling around locally the Bosch unit costs ~$60CDN and the NTK can be had for ~$45CDN. I hate you bastards who are getting them for $14US!
