Way way way to close at least for the aem.
My o2 and innovative are under the car.
Did ya read the instructions?

Unfortunately i did after welding the bung it said 12 inches after the turbo ):
I find an 18mm an move it further down, but i don know where should i install the 02 sensor

 

I have my I2 located under the car like stock. Then the wide band about 6 inches or so after that

Man that pipe is really messed up.
99% of lean readings in such situations are caused by air leaks.

1. Make sure you dont have any air leaks in your system.
2. I see no reason why you cant mount the wb sensor there.
3. Any half decent wide band will monitor sensor temp. And if the controler is not able to drop heat or the sensor is getting too hot or too much pressure then it should throw an error code. On my unit the display starts blinking. On the tech edge unit. The display says wide band PID error.

How good is that gasket between the turbo and the flange ?

 

It has a really thinn metal gasket, ill try to replace it and move the WB to the bootom of the pipe

 

i wouldn't worry to much about it unless your running extremely high egts (1900+).

 

That's too close for my liking. I would put it just past the oil pan.

 

Mine is right before the catalytic converter (stock location). He did say he's running open downpipe. How long is your downpipe?

 

Here is a pix from my build.

Wb is right before cat. Oem right in of oil pan.

And tge book say 18inch from turbo for wb.
Factory o2 i would have no closer then 5inch.

 

Also i am running open dowmpipe all the way to the end of the oil pan, were the stock piping use to join will this cause lean reading..?

as long as the sensor is at least 12 inches away from the end of your exhaust, you will get an accurate reading.

i cant see the pictures due to security settings at work, although why dont you just extend your exhaust a bit and put the sensor right past your oil pan? thats where i have mine, as well as many others.

 

his pic is right off the turbo 1inch max.

 

That 02 is way to close like others said. Mine is in the stock location by the fire wall.

 

Mine is really close as well. Im not happy with the location but it has been fine. I have an egt sensor as well though.

I would make sure that the voltages are being read right. I know the stock one and some widebands read 2 different ways. If it shows 20 when ur coming to a stop or off the throttle then it should be reading right.

I would t off a line once.

 

mines right before the oil pan, id rather it further back but its worked for 3+ years where it is. but imo yours is way too close

 

+1 for near the firewall

 

Thank you guys for the replies, i be relocating boths sensors this weekind and check the pipe & gaskets for leaks

 

Why is the distance issue for the o2 sensor up for debate ?
Its simple. Bosch data sheet says 12" from the Exhaust port.
Anything more and you are going to compromise your tune.
Do the math i.e. calculate the delay between what your engine is doing and what your o2 is reading if you move more than 12" back.

In our race car I made a call to move it more than 12" back. Cause I could see that the sensor was over heating. i.e. my heater value was below zero.
This is why we have an option to show you whats going on with the heater on the display. Its simple. Just monitor how much juice is being used to keep the heater in range. If you find that the resistance of the heater is falling. Even after you stop applying juice to the heater. your too close and need to move back a bit.

 

Why must you ''OVER ANALIZE'' everything:69:

 

lol, my wideband is about 6" off turbo. according to AEM when i called them, they said I'm fine there. that's around the min they would recommend though.
