Vehicle: 99 Camaro LS1

This weekend im installing my new high flow pipes with cats and i wanted to change the O2 sensors that are currently installed. I heard that most people recommend to get the Corvette O2 sensors since they have a long wire to plug into the harness.

What year Corvette O2 sensors should i get for my Camaro?

My current O2 sensors that i have installed in the Camaro are also from a Corvette as they have the long wire but they were already installed when i purchased the vehicle. So now that im upgrading the exhaust pipes might as well put in new sensors.


any help is appreciated.

The O2 sensors you need for the front with the longer wire is Bosch 13111. Now most people do or don't have a problem with them but you will have to try them and find out for yourself. Every car is different though. You should be able to keep and use your rear O2 sensor's they just monitor the cats and that's about it or tune them out if they give you trouble.

cool, i read that most people don't recommend the Bosh but to rather get the Denso as they function much better.

I been having the service engine soon light on which its indicating that i need to replace my cats. So since i bought a complete high flow system with cats i deicided to put new sensors all the way around.

The camaro has four oxygen sensors right.

Yes it does you can run the bosch 13111 for the front cause they are the longer and then get you two regular camaro O2's for the rear or as autozone or where ever you get them from they are the two downstream sensors which means that it is after the cats.

^^Please don't get them from Autozone unless you are in an emergency, $30 dollar premuim per sensor over some of the sponsors on here

wow 30 dollars thru our sponsors. Autozone here has them way over priced.

Which sponsor am i able to go thru to get those sensors.

Get rear sensors for a C5 (97-04). I bought a pair of them used from a guy who took them off his Corvette. They've been working great so far - no codes after 1000 miles. I wasn't so lucky with brand new short Densos on extensions ... they started throwing codes right away.

are the densos still working good?

I have the Bosh 13111 was'nt sure if they or my LTs were creating the intermitant SES.

the 13111 are 6 years old w/ 40K miles thinking of testing them w/ a multi meter however I don't know which is the signal wire.

Thanks

I have the Bosch 13111's on my T/A and I've had no problems with them at all, some people have had bad luck with them for some reason.

I would just get which is cheaper out of bosch, denso, or ngk. They all have a 1 year warranty.

My tuner told me to stay away from Bosch...on a stock car I never had any issues with them. Now that I'm boltons cam nitrous and soon to be heads my tuner said Densos because they read the AFR faster than the Bosch ones do. I have no idea if its true but I went with denso and have had ZERO problems.

if I wanted Denso's what type of car would I get them for? I don't want to use extentions.

my car is a 99 TA mild cam, LTs, FAST intake.

Thanks

I'm not a big fan of Bosch in general. For that reason alone, I have Denso's - which I am happy with.

my SES light has been on for longer than usalle. so I tryed cleaning the air fliter, sprayed the MAF w/ MAF cleaner, sprayed the (allmost clean TB) w/ a little throttle boby cleaner. my AC delco spark plugs have 18K miles (trying to avoid fooling w/ that hand shredder).



crawled under the car removed the pass. side O2 the Bosh 13111 only has 2 slits and they where both open and the tip of the O2 only had a lite black dusty carbon deposits that rubbed off w/ my finger.

note: strange thing I observed oil blowby in my secondary oil catch can after the double chambered catch can that was totalley dry. I try a new truck type PVC ( since it's part of emmsions crape).

edit remember my Bosh 13111 have 40K miles.

Thanks
