MAP & Oxygen Sensor

Hi guys
I just bought the RX8 gen 1 manual
when I bought the condition the throttle has been modified using manual sling through gas pedal

Now I'm return it to standard the gas controller by ECU, but I don't have the MAP & Oxygen rear sensor, and seems like it hard find the part

1. do you guys know what is similar MAP sensor from other car that can be used in ?
2. is the oxygen front sensor can be use on the rear sensor ? mostly what they sell here is for the front not rear

Thanks

I don't really understand what was modified, but this car doesn't have a MAP sensor. It uses a mass airflow system. Which sensor are you actually missing?
The front O2 is a wideband, cannot be used in the rear position. But the rear sensors should be cheap and commonly available, they're nothing special.

Where is "here" for you?

I think I read some we have MAP sensor, the mechanic showing on other rx8 have that sensor, anyway then it should be fine without MAP sensor right?

here is Indonesia 😅, mostly what they sell is front o2 sensor and automatic not the manual

I check on some online platform, it takes 40 days to import here

I can assure you there are no MAP sensors on any RX-8s. MAF yes. Barometric pressure yes. MAP no.
The downstream O2 is a basic O2 sensor, Bosch 15740 would work. It's super common in Corollas, Toyota trucks and other common cars. Surely you can find one?

But I'm still very confused about what's going on with your car. Why was the pedal replaced? It's a digital pedal, there's nothing to be gained from modifying it. Pictures?

Maybe it's barometric, I need to learn more
Oh so I can use O2 Bosch 15740, if applicable for corolla then easy to find, thanks

Not sure why they change to sling pedal, my guess is they have a problem with electrical for throttle, so they change to sling (mechanic)

However thanks for your advise
