would someone around the Austin area want to help install my wideband, this would be my first one and would like someone who has done it before. Any help would be appreciated. Not asking for someone to do the work just assist and lead me in the right direction.

 

Take out your downpipe or midpipe and weld the O2 bung in. Be sure that the bung is not towards the ground or condensation can collect on the sensor when the car is off.

Wire up the sensor and bring the lead into the car - I put a small notch in the transmission tunnel where the shifter is.

Mount your display. I used an AEM so it went on the A-pillar. Depends on what you have.

Wire up power, ground, and your sensor lead. A good source of power is tapping into the cigarette lighter as it is only on with the ignition.

 

From what i understod from the dealer is that the O2 Sensor in the kit would replace to 2 wire O2 witht the 5 wire in the original O2 location. The kit I bought was the PLX Dm-5

 

It will fit in the hole... but the heat from being mounted so closely to the exhaust ports will kill the sensor in short order.

Its better to add a second bung. They are only a few dollars if that. Just make sure that you have a sensor or plug in the bung when you weld it in or it will warp.

I'm sure an exhaust shop could install a second one for $20 or less - and in a more optimum location.

 

Cool Thanks for the Info. So if I go that route i really dont have to worry about setting it up with the Power FC

 

Depends on the sensor. If it's a Bosche unit, yes that's true, but if it's an NTK, it'll last a very, very long time.

I am using a piggyback (F-Con) and the stock ecu so I wanted to keep the narrowband sensor as well.

The instructions that came with my wideband sensor said to mount it 3' or so downstream.

Hey, any excuse to break out the torch and welder is a good one.
