Put the brakes on this thread.
I couldn't get the 15401 WBO2 calibrated, so I turned it off. Well, a friend of mine came over today to try to sort things out. After getting a lot of nothing done..I gave up and left it on NBO2. Call FM. Yup 15401 doesn't work according to Jeremy. WTF? Oh, since I am running a 2.17 (maybe have something to do with other's success of the 15401?) and that used the old VW/AUDI sourced WBO2, I might have to send my box in for a reflash... now THAT pisses me off. WTF... My car is my daily, I don't have another car to get to work and back....downtime will damn fucking kill me.. ARGH. |
Shit! I'm running the 2.5 version. It's worked for me so far.
|
maybe that's just enough difference to make it work.
So you're positively sure the 15401 wors with v2.5 and reads AFRs normally? Because if I get mine reflashed to 2.5 then I guess I can skip on the $275 (that I really don't even have right now) and use the WBO2 I bought/spliced. |
I'm not entirely sure the 2.17 CAN be "reflashed" to a 2.5. I think the hardware is different.
there's gotta be a sensor that is a drop in replacement for the 2.1 though. i cant imagine it's 275 dollars. hell, the brand new one with autotune access is 300. |
hydra forums threads on the sensor:

I'm pretty sure y8s is correct. From what I remember, Jeremy did confirm awhile back that one could not upgrade from a 2.17 to 2.5. You can upgrade from 2.5 to 2.6 though but I guess that's little comfort for you at this point. Sorry Dopp that this didn't work out for you.

Well, if it can't be reflashed I don't really care... that jsut means I don't have to be stranded without a car because the box is bouncing it's way across the country.
However, i'd still like to find a WBO2 that doesn't cost damn $275. Just for shits and giggles I stopped by NAPA to see how much for a WBO2 that i've read will work.... $420.....went to Honda to see about that... $520!!!! I laughed at the parts guy and told him a crappy 92 VX hatch wasn't even worth thaat much and walked out. |
those VX are probably worth more today than 5 years ago... good mileage and vtec if you want to do a swap but keep your ECU.
oh and maybe you want to check this out. 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 Honda Civic O2 Oxygen Sensor: sg335-REA1134-36531-P07-003-36531-P2M-A01 Auto Parts Direct To You | AutoPartsDirectToYou.com |
hmmm..might have to try that one. thanks man.

So what is the difference between a "LSU" sensor and a "LxHx" sensor? I found a VW/AUDI part number thats almost identical.. mine is 036 906 262 B , and the closest VW part I have found is 021 906 262 B. Reading on WBO2.net or whatever it is, says the 021 part number is the Bosch 17014 which they also call it a Bosch LSU 4.2.
Any ideas? |

Any ideas? I'll let you guys know for sure if it's the exact same plug or not. I'm picking up my replacement today, the Bosch unit. |
I don't care about the plug... I care about the sensor itself.. the plug is going to get cut off anyway.

Sensor is slightly different, bigger holes with a smaller middle hole. I crossed the part numbers off my AEM sensor to find a Bosch number, it was in fact 17014 through a Bosch catalog. Now the connector is different, it's oval and not square. Luckily, this time, you can fit a square peg in a oval hole :laugh: Same 6 pins in the same order. It's not a tight fit, but you can feel a little resistance. It does look as though you can change the connector ends though, I'm going to give that a shot for the hell of it instead of just hoping it holds with tape. I know you're more than likely going to cut the connector off, but like I said, it's identically the same but with some longer wires.

AEM UEGO sensor to 17014 Bosch sensor, my apologies for not stating this better and sooner. I'm using MS w/ AEM wideband. AEM sensor uses a square connector where as the Bosch 17014 sensor uses an oval connector, my guess it being that it's a direct replacement for VW/Audi's w/ turbo. I bought the 17014 unit like you had asked about. I don't know how your connector is, I just wanted to share some info on what the Bosch unit was like. My apologies if I came off sounding like a dick, I really wasn't being one. |
:laugh:
You're still missing my point. The Hydra WBO2 has a connector that is custom to the application..NONE of the Bosch/Audi/VW/NTK sensors out there will have the "right" connector...unless I buy the replacement from FM/Hydra. What I am looking for is the correct sensor itself. What matters is if there is a difference between a "LSU" labeled WBO2 and a "L1H1/L2H2" labeled sensor. Is the 021 part number from VW/AUDI the same actual sensor as the 036 or is it a completely different sensor. Is the 17014 actually stamped with "NTK" on it? Is it a LSU or L2H2 sensor? |
the bosch LSU is a different sensor. it's not an L1H1. it wont work.

Well, it seems the Honda part number that is a L2H2 sensor and is Bosch 13246 can be had at Auto Zone for $199. But, they don't stock them at all. So I called Orilley's and they were $410...but they price match. So I called and they do have one in the warehouse...and they price match. So I told the guy that AZ has them for $213 out the door and he agreed to the price and said he has a driver at the Forest Park warehouse and that he will have the driver pick up the O2 for me. So i na few hours, we'll know if I have a working WBO2 again
