02 sensor locations need help please!
hi im looking at getting an aftermarket header either a 4-2-1 or a 4-1 1 piece something like a dc sports but i have a 1990 honda crx vtec with the b16a engine as standard and the standard header has the 2 o2 sensors right up the top where it bolts onto the block. the problem im having is that all the headers i look at only have the 1 sensor location. ive got a high flow catalytic converter on the way and that has a sensor location on that aswell so can i use that for one sensor and the one on the header for the other sensor? does it matter which one goes where because i think i have 1 green one and 1 white one? also how do i go about extending the sensor wires so they reach the sensor locations? any help would be appreciated
cheers Rob

Extending the wires is easy, just get 2 butt connectors for each wire and crimp them. Do it one wire at a time so you remember don't get the wires crossed. Some people may recommend to solder them together though. It's totally up to you. But using butt connectors is easier for you. Also, make sure you get the right sized ones. You can get them at hardware store or electronics store like Radio Shack.
