Wide Band O2 in Stock Bung
 

Will a wide band O2 sensor fit in to the stock O2 bung? Do the threads match?

I am looking at the LC-1 kit from innovate to be specific.

yes all o2 sensors are the same thread......

There are countless threads already discussing why it is not a good idea to put a wideband sensor in the stock sensor location.

Do a quick search and you'll see the reasons behind it and where you should install it.

I went thru a sensor pretty quick in the stock location, I picked up their bung extender and it's been working fine so far.

Stock location is far too hot for an aftermarket wideband sensor...move it towards the end of the downpipe.

As HalifaxFD said you can run it in the stock spot, you just need the heatsink that they sell you keep the temps down. Otherwise your going to be going threw o2 sensors in a hurry.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't looking for a permanant location, just something I could put a borrowed sensor in to help troubleshoot my current engine problems (see "limp mode" thread further down in this forum).

If it's just temporary then you could mount it in the stock location, just wrap it with some good heat resistant material.

If I recall, if the sensor over heats, it will read incorrectly. So, putting it in stock location is no good either way. Also, if you are experiencing "limp" mode I'm guessing you are running stock ECU?? If that's the case, better test is to borrow a PFC not wideband.

I got a bung welded on to the factory cat pipe (before the actual cat). It was a hell of a lot more convenient than taking off the downpipe to get a bung welded on, and it's been working like a champ
