O2 Sensor Extender?
Do the O2 Sensor extenders really increase your mpg?
|
If you are talking about what I am thinking of, they are not supposed to. Just for re-locating sensors on altered exhausts.

Yeah I am talking about the ones that move it out so they read less O2. By making my car run more lean would this mean that I would get better mpg? I saw them on ebay for pretty cheap.

Good thread. I hope more people come in with results.
I lost about 5 mpg with a defouler on my Rear O2 Sensor. 27 to 22. Toyota 1zz 03 ECU. Im using it with a A/F ratio controller on the front O2 Sensor to make the lean settings stick. So far my settings wont stick & I can run lean. |
I don't know, it sounds like a bad idea. Your making your o2 sensor read less oxegen, how do you know what your actual a/f is? and how do you control it? You can't, and the chance of detonating is high.
I would stay away from it unless you can find a way to control your injection system, or at least watch your a/f ratio. But to answer your question, yes running lean will increase mpg, if you don't lock your motor up in the process. |
hmm I guess I should stay away from them then. i wouldnt want to cause any motor damage. I would like to hear from someone who is using one though just to see if it worked or not.
|
I am using one, but I have been doing some other mods lately and the weather is warming up too so its hard to say if its working.
|
I got a A/F ratio gauge on my front sensor. However every mod I do the A/F gauge dont change.
|
Right now Im using a single defouler instead of 2 & things seem a bit different but to early to tell. But the car is driving better according to me & the scan gauge. Ill do a slight fillip soon to see what I got.
