Hi Charlie, I'll address the first part of your post. Bank 2 sensor 1 is the sensor on the exhaust manifold for cylinders 4,5,6. That would be the rear manifold and it would be the sensor ahead of the converter, not behind it. You also need to install a thermostat in the car as well for the engine management system to function properly.
