Jake Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Can I use a generic £25 Lambda sensor in my 98 VVTi or is this A Bad Idea? If so, what do I need? I see there are 'Zirconia' type ones which have heater resistance from 2 to 6.5 ohms and output from 0.1 and 0.9 volts or 'Titania' types ones which have 4 to 7 ohms heater resistance and output either between 0 and 1 volt or between 0 and 5 volts. I think our cars are the 4 wire, 0v to 1v type, correct? Ah bugger, I 've just noticed that all the 4-wire generic type ones seem to be 0v to 5v. Anyone know of anywhere that sells the right ones for a Supra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I *think* they replaced mine with a Bosch one, seems to be doing the job. I cant remember the exact one though, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I bought a generic one and the resistances for the heater circuit where all wrong too, had it on for 1 month, then had to buy a new one from Mr T. It was playing silly buggars with my fuelling till I changed it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzawu Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 think the >july 97 ones are a different type. u mite need to ask the guys from supraforums. not sure if its 1 wire or the 3 wired ones. i replaced mines with bosch ones £30quid each and works a treat. think theyre £130 from mr t.

Jake Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Well it's a four wire sensor on my VVTi. (Black, Black, Blue, White) The VVTi 2JZ-GTE was never sold in the USA. Where dd you get yours from, Gaz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzawu Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 we got a place called andrew watts in glasgow where i got them from. just bought a bosch universal type. spoke to this guy before and he said that the voltages of the wires might be different and it can mess up the ecu. but i just said to myself.....yeah why not and its worked out ok. Well it's a four wire sensor on my VVTi. (Black, Black, Blue, White) The VVTi 2JZ-GTE was never sold in the USA. Where dd you get yours from, Gaz?

Jake Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Can anyone confirm whether the Supras use a 0-5v or 0-1v outputting Lambda sensor? I was just about to order one of these: http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/lambda_sensors.php but amazingly the guys there don't know whether their Four Wire Universal Sensor is a 1v or 5v output! Edit: Apparently it's a 0.1 to 1.0 volt output. Will that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 is this same thing its for supra http://oxygensensors.com/catalog.php?PHPSESSID=9b31c9b7646cf9cf9d3c14291b711f0f&engine=L6-3.0L+%282JZGTE%29+Twin+Turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
