Doesn't it have an O2 sensor bung in it?

there are two different types of 02 senors, a skinny 02 sensor and a fat 02 sensor. The FAT 02 sensor's on your ka24de will not fit in that elbow you will need the skinny 02 sensor.

the skinny O2 bung can also be removed i believe its an 1" wrench or something like that and the remaining hole is i believe the proper size for the big O2. or dont run any o2 sensor b/c its not gonna compensate on the ka ecu for any of that jazz.. you should be running an afc / wideband at the very least. if you remove the o2 you have less of a chance of the ecu pulling/adding fuel and you control everyhting.

Incorrect. Either sensor fits the same hole, the sensor body is smaller but that's it. The rear O2 on '95-'96 models is smaller, but it's not used anyway.

To the OP - you use the sensor that came on your car. Not that hard to figure out.

the sensor that is for my car dosent fit the holes, either a bit too big and then the reducer for the skinny is well wayy too skinny for the stock o2 sensor.. and i have a tuned ecu so i kinda need the o2 sensor

There should be a big hex nut that screws into the elbow, and the nut has a smaller hole in the center that the O2 sensor screws into.

The auto-parts stores and exhaust shops have o2 bungs. Go find one then remove the one in the pipe and replace with new one or just take the pipe to an exhaust shop with your O2 sensor and say "here ya go" :)

just get a aftermarket elbow and you will be set!

There are 2 types of o2 sensor the 3 wire ( Skinny Type ) on the earlier SR and the 1 wire ( Bigger o2 sensor ) on KA and some SRs. You would obviously need the 1 wire so either get a torch or soak it on WD40 maybe liquid wrench also to remove the skinny bung on the SR elbow and do the same on your stock exhaust manifold and then re use the bung from your stock EX manifold on the SR Elbow.
