Best location on a FB for O2 Sensor?
 
Hey guys I might be buying soon a Innovate LM-1 and I was wondering what would be the best place to put the 02 Sensor were it dosen't get damage by to much heat and Condensation?

At the header collector, if you are running the short primarys. Otherwise buy an extra bung and plug and mount a bung on each header tube 12-18" from the engine.

This is on a stock car so would the still be the place?

trochoid 10-27-06 06:48 PM

Yeah, 12-18" past the exhaust mani. Fun part is finding enough room to clock the sensor in the position that Innovate wants it.

Now one question though, you think this is silly to get the LM-1 on a stock FB? I have my reasons why I would want it but just like to get other peoples opinion because I know others say get mods, or go the cheap route with narrow band with a ebay gauge. I just want to do the right thing to make this good engine run well and last for a long time if possible.

Never said it was silly. It would be of greater benefit with an aftermarket carb as there is little tuning one can actually do on a stock Nikki other than dialing in the idle mix and 1 or 2 jetting options for the carb. It is a good step for planning ahead for future upgrades.

What I find silly/worthless, are narrowband gauges, not the wideband ones.

Hey trochoid thanks for the information and help. I really appreciate it and like you said is never a silly thing to do. I feel more comtable getting this unit now and having the work done at a muffler shop.
