Default With all the people buying O2 sims...

Just wanted to let the people considering O2 sims that there is a cheaper alternative if you know how to solder at all.

http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/oxy...tor/index.html

I used this guide to build mine.

It works flawlessly, you leave your stock O2 sensor in place and splice the output wire from your built sim into the output wire from the stock O2 sensor.

Not sure if anyone had seen this before. It is easier to just buy one, but I built mine for about 18 bucks and change. Hopefully this saves someone some money.

That's a good find. Sadly few people around here know more than +/-12v as far as electrical jargin goes.

Regardless, very nice find, I vote sticky.

This is pretty cool. But can anyone post a link to a sim so I could check one of those out too.

I had a pretty steep learning curve when I did mine as well, it just takes some patience and a little bit of google work to make sure you do it correctly if its been a while since shop class.
