So I'm going to start out with a 75 shot and work my way up. But my car is running very rich because my front O2 sensor's on my long tubes are not connected. Do I have anything to worry about because it is running so rich?

Ok, what kind of damage have I done, I've been driving it like that for about three weeks.

Well you could wash the oil off of the cylinder walls and take out the ring/bores for starters.

JD_Alaska · 01-01-2016, 05:06 PM

Why would you not have the front O2's hooked up?

When buying long tubes, you need extensions. I JUST bought the extensions.

keep driving like that then feels us how the motor exploded with your next post

Joseph1LE · 01-03-2016, 08:33 PM

You've been driving around for 3 weeks with no o2s in the car like it's all good.... You have no business playing with nitrous.

Homeless Man · 01-03-2016, 08:36 PM

lol how hard is it to order some extensions?

762ch · 01-04-2016, 12:34 AM

You don't need extensions, you can unclip the harness and make it reach. Run it like that until the extensions show up so you can route the wires a little nicer.

CamaroCracka · 01-04-2016, 08:34 AM

You could even go old school and break out some wire, solder and heat shrink to extend them yourself. That is what I did when I realized they were required and I was not going to wait on some to ship.

More to your point though, they did just barely reach if I unclipped them from the block, but it was a bit tight for my taste.

christianchevell · 01-04-2016, 09:53 AM

the fronts adjust your AFR up and down ... Not wise to run without them, and yes they throw a delayed reading code in most cars due to the length of the headers and have to have that code disabled in the tune but are absolutely essential to the car......or you could just be one of those posts.......

So the car never blew up but the solenoids took a dump.
Just sold the kit to some kid with a honda.
As for the sensors. The car is perfectly fine, didnt get extensions for quite some time but I bough new ones and even after all that time the AFR was still good.
Just a little update.
