Wideband

Alright guys. Just bought an AEM wideband for the R & just wonderd where the best place on the exhaust is to weld the lamba nut? Is as close as possible to the turbo elbow the best place or will it get to hot there?

I thought it ideally wants to be about 2 feet away from the turbo, but im not 100% on that.

Yep ive heard about 2 feet aswell as the lamba gets to hot otherwise & it cant be positionned lower than 10 degrese for some reason? But thought id best check on here?

yep ideally its meant to be 3ft away but I put mine in just after the flexipipe and never had any troubles.
just make sure you put it in the side and not bottom up

Cheers Bob, better to be safe than sorry lol, Ill be intoch for the bits next week mate

With the kit do you get the nut to weld on or do you have to source that yourself ?

it all comes in the kit unless its s/h of course

Is it a good must have gadget to get then to keep an eye on things ?

best and most usefull gauge you could have next to water and oil temp and oil pressure.

really handy for diagnosing faults too such as leaky vacuum pipes etc as afr's go all over the place
can be a real engine saver

Looks like i best put that on my never ending to get list then ....

Gaz would be good to do a how to on this one mate so i can chuck it up on the how to section

Heres where i bought mine from, I know him from when i had renault 5's He dous injection & managment systems for them, but also a main dealer for AEM, ZEITRONIX, etc & dous all accesories.

I havent got a clue where to start yet nomad. & i wont be fitting it untill the car has been sprayed, so it will be about a month untill i do a how to!

! thing i have thought of tho, is that if the lamba needs to be around 2 - 3 feet from turbo, maybe routing the lamba wire under the drivers seat & using the HOT DOG hole for cat, to route the lamba through?

I was thinking along the same lines as not sure how much wire you get within the kit

I think there is a fair length of wire, but i havent unrapped it all yet to find out, Id say theres atleast 2 & half meters

just bought one myself

Well il look forward to seeing some pics up then

Just an update on this, ive not fitted it yet but there is a grommet under the front drivers wheel arch plastic where loom runs threw. so im going tho plumb the wiring threw there so it will come out under the dash & then I can reroute it

Just so people know if they ever fit a wideband

Yep thats where ive routed mine too.

is the old air sensor a good or bad place for the sensor to go I'm one up on you Leighton its off my to buy list and promoted on the to fit at some point list

Only down  side in the ox sensor is it doesn't go in at a downward angle!
And I think they need to be like that so condensation drains out the senso to stop it rusting
