Wideband bung location in exhaust

Post by MilesnMiles »

All looks a bit tight down there. Where do you guys put your wideband sensor?

Mines in the " X " pipe , so it gets a measurement of both banks, :thumbright:

Ah, both very different locations. I thought there was an optimum position down from the headers :?
On my Turbo Buick it was something like 18" down from the turbo.
I'd be happy to stick it on the crossover pipe as that's conveniently my next job.

I don't know if there is a optimum distance, but it just seemed to be a logical place to put it, you cant see it from the full exhaust picture , but it is located in the top of the X pipe. This location , however is very close to the prop shaft, but as they say " a miss is as good as a mile" so its ok.

It`s recommended between 18 and 30 inches from the exhaust ports and after the turbo and before the cat if the car has one Miles :thumbright:

Micks is perfect, either at 10 or 2 o'clock on the header reducer cone.
