I have a problem with the lenght of the cables. I installed the hypercharger but now i can't install o2 sensor in it because the cables are too short. Will there be any problem if i cut the cable and make them longer? And what is the best way to do that?

thanks

really nobody know how that sensor works? I would really need to make the cables longer, but i'm afraid that i'll change the impedance and the sensor won't send the right informations...

You want to install an O2 sensor in the hypercharger? The O2 sensor is in the exhaust pipe.

Or do you mean the IAT intake air temp sensor?

IAT sensor? Probably you're right, and i meant IAT sensor... It's sensor which is installed inside of filter that is in airbox...?

I think the IAT is an ordinary thermistor which uses copper wiring from the sensor through the wire harness to the ECU.

So it shouldn't be a problem to extend the length of the sensor wires (within reason). Just use good craftsmanship in cutting, splicing and insulating the wires and you should be good to go.

thank you sparky, yes i totally mixed the o2 and IAT sensor. The IAT looks like ordinary thermistor (the resistance of it is around 20k - 30k ohm), so i did cut the wires now and give a few centimeter of new (also Cu wire) and hopefully made a good connection with my weller soldering iron and of course make some insulation with heat shrinking tube.
