singletrack Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 My FI y-pipe is all dented from playing horse with the Jeeps in Bangs Canyon. I've got a good y-pipe from my carbed parts car, if there was some way I could use it that would be convienient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Take the spare Y-pipe down to a local Muffler Shop. They can install O2 fitting for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 You can also buy a weld in bung for O2 sensors. Then you torch out a hole, weld in the bung, and your O2 sensor will screw in. Time for some real skid plates out there on the rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singletrack Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 you said bung:lol: Joel try Trade center salvage out passed the mall. I got them to sell me and EA81 Y pipe a few years ago. There's only SPFI car in the all the junkyards in Junction! It's down offa S 5th... It's a 90 4x4 with a bad 3AT, but the y-pipe was rotted. Aparently the guys there used to race a Hatch in Tough-Truck competitions! They got a kick outa the wagon. Anyway, a local muffler shop said $35 to do the job. More than twice what I paid to have my diff welded, but not bad. BTW, anyone know what the thread pitch is for our 02 sensors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 a universal one from napa screwed in, so its about the most common o2 thread pitch out there. other than that... im useless =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that way,at least for SPFI. A local muffler shop put in my bung for $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrg3 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Almost all oxygen sensors have M18x1.5 threads. So do 18mm spark plugs, actually. You can get 18mm "spark plug non-foulers" from the auto parts store that can be easily made into weld-on-able oxygen sensor bungs with a little cutting. They're basically little spark plug extension dealies: http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?mfrcode=RNB&mfrpartnumber=42009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbobdole Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I did it!!! I did the SPFI swap so I needed one... went to napa got the o2 and bung... used a hole saw and cut a bung hole, then used a socket to keep the bung in place while I welded it on...... works good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
