Pretty much but the D16y7 seriously lacks low end torque where the D16y5 shines.

As far as that pesky expensive o2 sensor goes, I picked up a brand new one on Rock Auto right before my engine swap for $29.32 shipped.

YES you read that right. It was listed as distributor close out! They listed 4 in stock so I ordered all 4. The next day got notified they actually only had 1 so I did end up getting 1.

I thought for sure they'd send me the wrong one.

It's been working just perfectly.
