AEM Wideband sensor location UK spec.

[MNS]

Hey everyone, i'm going to get my AEM wideband fitted today. I was wondering is there any issue with the AEM's sensor being located in the 2nd decat pipe close the second lambda sensor on my UK spec supra. If it would cause problems, where would it be best to locate the sensor?

 

I did look through the technical section but struggled to find a wideband install on a UK spec Supra.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

It needs to be much nearer the ports to react quickly. It also needs to point DOWN slightly to stop exhaust water content sitting in it. If it's de-catted put it in the front de-cat pipe as near the engine as physically possible.

Thanks for the responses, have you guys got any pictures of how it's installed by chance just so I can show my mechanic the sensor placement in the first decat.

 

Thanks.

Given the steering rack input shaft location, the need to be as near the first de-cat pipe upper flange, and the need for it to have its operative end pointing down I would imagine Einstein need not be exhumed to give him advice Bonnet side of 1st de-cat pipe, as near the top flange as possible, clearance for the sensor and its boot and cabling will give little room for experimentation. Fiddling about with the sensor and wiring and a felt tip pen will show him possible locations and angles for the sensor's boss.
