Got an echlin o2 sensor for the DIY-WB set up, but I read around that the sensor should say L1H1... Mine says L2H2, same echlin part number I can find everyone elce useing that echlin part number, just wanna know if this is a problem.

Grumpy

For the lack of seeing any anwers.

The only way I'd sort of trust it would be if I could run it back to back with a L1H1. Short of that, I dunno what you could do. It's the same as the one pictured at the DIY-WB site?.

rsc350

looks exactly the same, part # OS791 on the box from napa, was just takein a look closely and saw the numbers were different.

I wonder if someone bought 2 sensors, and returned the OS791 with the cheap sensor in the box.

What did you find out about l2h2? I have also heard of the L2H2 coming in the box in place of th L1H1. But have no details.

I to have heard of the L2H2 as I am trying to find an L1H1 for my DIY-WB. I am in AZ and checkerauto, proauto, autozone, bap import, and pepboys are all out of stock and unable to order the Bosch sensor 13246. There is 1 NAPA in AZ that has 1 sensor, the OS791, so I think this is great news. I ask the guy to verify l1h1 on the sensor body and he reports back that it is l2h2. So I drive over to take a look at the unit. Sure enough L2H2 It looks just like the l1h1 but has 2 different colr wires and a heat sleeve around the wires. It was being sold out of the OS791 box.

350$ was the asking price but he said he would give to me for 250$ but was unable to sell it any cheaper then that as he said that was as far as the computer would take it down.


Opinions PLease!!!

You guys know I'm with a local NAPA Store. I've got the OS791 L2H2 for $220 + $10 shipping. That will save you $20. Your lucky to even have one that close to you! I don't think many of you will be able to find it at a local store. Napasales@go.com Thanks guys!

rsc350

yup yup hes right, im an employee of one too, he he cept i got mine Z'ed, only the napa guy would know what that means. Price is 220$, so i guess i just got a new updated model... cool, that helps relive some pressure.

How long till you have the controller built?

I got my sensor, but can't find the PCB. Anyone know where I can find one??

Can order them through the site at:

www.diy-wb.org

Should have parts kits too.

A more direct link is:

http://www.diy-wb.com/info.htm

There is even a Digikey part number for the parts required to build the DIY-WB unit. That is cool, one part number gets you all of the parts.

RBob.

Do you have the L1H1 or the L2H2 sensor?

ZZ28ZZ

I tried the DIY EFI WB link a few weeks ago. It took me to a page where you fill out a form with name, address, etc. Got what looked like an autoreply msg that said there was a several week delay. Haven't heard anything from them since.

The sensor is the L1H1.

Is there anyone on the site that will build the WB unit for a fee?

Bill

OMINOUS_87

I imagine not. Anyone who upholds to the agreement of use at DIY-WB wont sell them either. You might be able to find someone and offer up another service as a trade.

RBob

You should have received another email. This one once boards became available again.

RBob.

Grumpy

That's in violation of the agreement.
Bartering, is another matter thou.

As much as it is a neat tool, part of it's purpose is to be educational. If soldering, ain't your thing, might be time to learn, since with working with EFI it's just a matter of time before you need to be able to.

Check this out for detailed pics of both the L1H1's that I had and the L2H2's that I have. Same stuff guys. Need one? Write me: NapaSales@go.com

Has anyone tried one of the L2H2's with the DIY-WB yet to verify that it is the same?

OMINOUS_87

Well I own an L2H2 and am in Phoenix AZ. It will be a few weeks before I get around to building the controler. If anyone in the area has a DIY WB-O2 they can use my L2H2 for testing Vs. the L1H1.

justme

How could I go about testing the L2H2 sensor if I have one but no L1H1 to compare to? I have a the built controller.

OMINOUS_87

Try to find someone locally who has an L1H1.

formularpm

I cant find one around here for under $299, and even $220 seems too pricey for my budget. Is it possible to build a WB with a used sensor from a junkyard?

Grumpy

Hunt around seems there are some still available for well under 200.

OMINOUS_87

I was at the junkyard for a spindle last week and just for grins looked at all the Hondas for a WB. No luck at the yard as all the motors in WB equiped civics had already been pulled.

I will be most impressed if you can find one for well under 200$!!!

Actually I will be impressed if you can find one at all for sale by retail outlet for less than 300$

primo

Is there a source for wbo2 sensor connector other than a junk yard?

87IROC350

I just bought one online from Honda for $250

ZZ28ZZ

Primo>> If you do wind up at the junkyard, but can't find a Civic with a wide band o2 connector, the Civics have other connectors under the hood that will plug into a WB o2 sensor. I found 2 near the pass side shock tower. One was missing a wire the O2 sensor needed. The other one I found in the same area had all the wires needed. They were the wrong colors, but no biggie.
Best part was, when I asked the junkyard guy how much, he just shrugged his shoulders and said "take it".
