For my 4 wire the only diff is an extra wire grounded to the chassis.

Subj: [V8]  O2 sensor circuit, rewire from Ecu?
No, you're not bothering at all. I'm specially interested on this topic 
since i have had so much O2 problems on mine, so keep us posted on how 
it goes! :)

Two wires go to the ECU, pin 10 is the ground for O2 and pin 28 is the 
O2 signal.
One wire to the oxygen sensor heater relay, pin number 8/87 on the 
relay itself.
And i'm assuming one wire is grounded for the heater ground. I'm not 
sure though cause i have 3 wire sensor in mine.
