wideband sensor position?

[littlewimp]

just a quick one! now i have the car on the ramp to sort the suspension i thought i might just aswell fit my wideband , i was thinking of welding the boss in just after the flexi and try to get the cable running up behind the steering rack and then up the bulkhead, does this sound ok ? Thanks Neil

Sounds fine, put it at a slight angle away from the exhaust flow and at ten o'clock or 2 o'clock looking from the front of the car....stops moisture and crap sitting in it when the car is not in use

Cheers Red Reading i was thinking on the lines of the 2 o'clock position this should allow me to get the cable up into the tunnel area nicely, will try and get the downpipe off tomorrow and tig the boss on. Cheers Neil.

That's pretty much exactly where mine is ;-)

Noted... any day now I'll get around to installing mine. :roll:

I've put mine on the bend, as these sensor's ideally like the gas as hot as possible, so I'm told

The instructions for mine say at least 24 inches from the turbo, which puts it about where the flexi is doesn't it?

 

[Jon Olds]

Instructions? Never read them..........

there seems to be a fair bit of scope with the position then, as my instructions advise 36 inches from the exhaust port on a turbocharged engine

Mines is in the 3" elbow, along with my egt and oxy sensor. And its still working perfectly for the last 2 years.
