Supra ST Myster Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Ok, i know that it says it should be mounted either 18 or 36 inches from the manifold to block, but on my downpipe for my single there is already a bung welded in the position shown in the pic (to the right of the stock O2 sensor) and the aem sensor screw perfectly in there, so is it ok to mount the sensor there, im not going to be running high boost, about 1.2bar in the end.. not going to big power so egts should be ok?? thoughts... you like my pic?

merckx Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Aem recommend 18" for cars without a turbo. 36" for cars with a turbo. Personally I wouldn't fit it there, even though it's very convenient. It's always best to do things right the first time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 yeah i know wot you mean, think i will get the bung that came with it welded further down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Quick newb question then....if you put the AEM sensor 36" down the pipe, what do you put in the one at the top of the DP? Stock O2 sensor? Or just bung it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Your WBO2 sensor should be located approx where the 2nd cat (used to be) into the exhaust section. Or where the 2nd decat pipe fits into the exhaust. Ideal place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 IMO it will be fine as indicated in your photo. I have had a wideband sensor in a similar position on my Skyline for years, no problem on road or track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a wideband sensor in a similar position on my Skyline for years, no problem on road or track. That's realy good news Chris, Thanks - I was starting to panic, as mine is in the first decat on my BPU, and was worrying with all these previous comments Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra matt Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 will it not give a better reading lower down the pipe as its cooler and more of a accurate reading ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 will it not give a better reading lower down the pipe as its cooler and more of a accurate reading ? No. No difference, they are temperature compensating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 But the manufacturer recommends fitting them 36" downstream from the exhaust port for a reason! I wouldn't want to risk shortening the life of mine unnecessarily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 But the manufacturer recommends fitting them 36" downstream from the exhaust port for a reason! I wouldn't want to risk shortening the life of mine unnecessarily! Yeah thanks mate, you've got me worrying again . To recap, I didn't ask for it to be fitted where it was, a 'respected' tuner fitted it there. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Mike From the manual... High exhaust temps, (over 850 degrees C) will shorten sensor life I would take that as if it is toward the end of your first decat the life will be reduced, so move it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
