Autometer Wideband Sensor

[smkshw]

quick question,i have long tubes,it says to drill and install the sensor to the collector,so that would be on the header correct?...the sensor is fine just reading the one side?...
thanks just want to make sure

Yes, the collector is part of the header.

ok....sensor works by reading just the one side right?....thanks

 

[liljoe07]

Which ever side the sensor is in, is the side it reads. Unless I'm not understanding your question?

ok....just was making sure it didnt have to be in the x pipe or somthing to read both sides....its welded in and working now

Some guys do put it in the xpipe, others say not to. Most companies suggest a distance from the exhaust port for accurate readings, that distance tends to put the xpipe too far away to install the sensor there. It's a debatable subject, but you'll be fine where its at now.

Did you get one that plugs directly into our O2 harness?

Edit: I'm about to tackle this soon but I have the Innovate LC-1

What kind of full length headers do you have that don't come with the O2 bungs already in them? My BBK LT's have them in each side.

Which one have you seen that plugs directly into the fox harness? The connectors for the wideband are totally different.

With the AEM 30-2310, you can cut the pigtail off your old O2 sensor and hook it up to your wideband O2 sensor and then plug it directly into your factory O2 harness.

Edit: Sorry I had time to think. This is typically used with a stand alone ECU. Nevermind.

I see what your saying now. You can do that as most of the Wideband have a simulated narrow band signal wire that you can tap into. The simulated signal is still based off of the wideband readings. It doesn't track as accurately as a true narrowband, but works decent. You can do this without a stand alone system.

Thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't sure enough about that part so I didn't want to say. I'm not going with the AEM with my setup, like I said I'll be using an LC-1 wideband and not using the factory O2 harness.
