No idea! These were not installed on my car. They were on H2O car before he sold it last summer. I guess they are US post cats but I will need to ask him.

Any idea how to identify them? Connectors are differents?

[Devious21]

The Euro's have a longer cable, so no modification is required to get them to reach the engine. From eye balling it, I'm assuming those are US but I've never actually seen the Euro ones, so not sure.

Hopefully he should know. Otherwise, I'm sure they could be measured and compared to N/A ones.

Just measure them and there is like 1200mm long of wires between the sensors and connectors

H2O told me that they are the longer Euro o2 sensors!

[ClayMan]

Hey please PM me how much you want for the headers and cats (no mufflers) shipped to Toronto... Thanks!

Can you put me in touch with him? After the 1200mm measurement, I was pretty sure they were US (cause I think euro are 1360mm? or something like that).

I may be interested if I can confirm where the sensors are from and how many miles.

Thanks

I would just get new sensors. You are really rolling the dice with used O2 sensors. Our sensors are rebranded Bosch sensors and can be bought for reasonably cheap online.

Do you have the Euro part? If so, send me a link.

Not from the top of my head. But before I send you searching, why do you need European sensors? Longer length? If that's the only reason, there is no need. US sensors can be unflolded to the proper length. There are a ton of threads that discuss this topic.

It's my understanding that the sensors themselves cannot be extended. It's the harness on the car that needs to be cut into and extended to meet the sensors.

I'm currently running with a modified US cat and the shop that did the install got cold feet half way in and wasn't comfortable slicing up the harness loom and trying to extend the harness because they didn't feel it would reach (even though I told them plenty of people had done it), so they extended my US o2 sensor (via cutting and adding wire, exactly what I was trying to avoid).

If I need new sensors anyway, I'd rather get the ones of the correct length and skip the needed modification for the US sensors and the headache. Same reasoning for paying more for the Euro section 1 instead of modifying the US ones. More cost for less headache.

yes and no.

The harness needs to be untuck and extended but the sensor itself also needs to be re-routed. What you need to do is to cut a new hole in the heat shield and route the sensor through it and that would allow you to reach the now extended harness. My shop also cut my sensor initially but I redid the install myself and by going through a new opening in the heatshield, no further modification is needed.

Ah, ok. This may have been the missing piece and explain why they didn't think it would reach and refused to try to stretch it.

As a positive side effect, I still have an unmolested heatshield and harness. So now that I have a OE Eurocat, I'll be using OE Euro sensors to keep everything clean.
