Exhaust sensor

My D14 facelift has two sensors in my exhaust the usual one on the exhaust manifold but also another one in the cat. My new exhaust doesent have a hole for the second sensor which would usualy be in the cat, although my aftermarket exhaust manifold has a second hole. Would it be ok to extend the wires of the second sensor and put it in the second hole in my exhaust manifold even though this is slightly closer to the first sensor/engine?

Thanks in advance :)

i wasn't aware of ej9s having 2 oxygen sensors! Your cat isn't mounted on the header right?

atm i got no catalyst , so no lamda on, i know its wrong , my headers are coming and i ll rebuilt the exhaust from the beggining , i dont know if i got 1 or 2 oxygen sensors , so i suppose the majon will be back as soon as i put my catalyst back right ?

Yup there are EJ9's with secondary lambdas. Either all OBD2b or some OBD2b versions. Not sure. Actually removing the cat can cause problems. I'll dive deeper in it one day. Thing is that actual oxygen amount before and after cat should differ... if ECU can't find the difference, it might throw an error code. I am 100% certain this happens in a 7th gen Civic of somebody here in NL.

They make lambda foolers for that 2nd lambda.All Civic EP1/EP2/EM2 have that problem too and they use lambda foolers.I would be careful to extend lambda wires that could cause bad readings.I would use oem plugs or buy a lambda extension harnas on ebay or from rywire .I bought mine from ebay and it works perfect.

The second sensor is just before the cat well its in the cat but at the very start. Could i use one of these lambda foolers on my D14 and does anyone have a link to one or anymore information?

Thanks

the problem is not to extend but the fact that if you place the non heated lamda sensor in another place further then it won't work right for sure. Had this problem. You need to buy a heated lamda for this reason

guys check this out , my mechanic told me that the lamda on this position is not correct cz it reads from 1 stroke , he told me to purchase 1 lamda with further wire to install it at the end of the new header where is there a position that i could put one , what u think ?

could i try to extend it instead ? i think the honda electrician can do that
