WB sensor installation angle
My AEM UEGO installation manual says that the sensor should be installed at +10* from horizontal minimum to prevent water pooling and shorting the sensor. The bung that was factory welded into my Begi downpipe puts the sensor about 10* BELOW horizontal. Is that enough to kill it? If so, I can weld one right on top and clear the tranny, but if I don't HAVE to pull the thing apart to do it, I would prefer to leave it. It looks like they did it to allow the sensor to clear the tranny on the bottom.
So, is this a MUST DO? Am I going to suffer early sensor loss? |
Mine's about 20* below horizontal. It was welded in after I built the DP and I didn't want to remove it to do the bung either. :) Works fine for me. What's important is to keep the sensor far enough away as to not overheat it. Sounds like you've got that taken care of.

I welded a bung on the very top at the 12 o-clock position just to be safe.
I honestly dont think you should have a problem with the way it is already, but I'd still redo it. just my .o2 |
Self appointed yourself a grace period, ey? Hmm.... By the way, my passengers door unlocks now. Many thanks!

Mine's at 12 too- right before the cat. Lots of vertical space in the tunnel. And yeah y8s, I put it there because of all the warnings about angle on the innovate site. :eek:

You'll be able to use that old bung location for dyno WB tuning without having to remove any O2 sensors - just put a plug in it.

My wideband has been installed at the 5 o'clock position for three years with no problems.
