Bosch Wideband sensor extension harness

Does anyone know where to find a Bosch Wideband Sensor harness, or what companies make them?

So far, I've only been able to find one business, in California that lists what I need, they have it under their Innovate Products heading, but I don't see it listed on the Innovate site, even though I seem to recall them making a product like that a while ago.

I'm working on a harness, where I would like to integrate the WBO2 harness into it. In actuality I have done that, but we decided to move to a different system (trading my Innovate for his PLX), since he just needs a basic WBO2 controller, to them log data through his Apexi Power FC. So it would be really nice to have the LC-1 controller inside the car, but plug into a short harness to then connect to the sensor.

What has anyone else found?

My wide band O2 sensor is about 30 inches long to the LC-1 controller. I remember seeing one longer. HTH!

Not at all...

I don't want a longer sensor, I want an intermediate connection, so that the controller will be inside the car, and if it needs to be replaced, it can be without messing with the harness. This is a car that is damn near a show car, so how things look and in the long run are paramount.

You might not find a pre made sensor but that looks like the same basic sensor design we had on the Dynojet. We ended up splicing in a Volvo connector for cheaper sensors available locally. We lost a few of the original units due to water before we figured out what was happening. I may have a failed Dynojet / Bosch sensor around here if you're looking to make your own harness.

Have a look at the PT2112 and the PT2043 and see if one looks like it would connect tot he sensor.

Here's a practical answer if you can't find an extension: Buy and install a sensor with a longer connector, say a Bosch 17090 with a 48" cable. Leave a short section of this harness about 18" from the sensor accessible in a way that isn't noticeable. Then if the sensor fails in the future you already have the original sensor, previously removed, as a replacement. Cut the long harness where it's accessible and install a repair pigtail (hopefully one of the ones above is correct). This gets the car on the road now and allows a relatively easy way to repair the part in the future for low cost.
