can a wideband run off of the stock o2 sensor without any cells thanks

 

no i heard it doesnt work right. the wideband should have came with one.

 

If you mean using the wideband as a narrowband for the car, yes you can do that but it involves splicing some wires.

If you mean using the stock O2 sensor to run a wideband, then no. I don't think it'll even plug into the wideband box.

 

i mean can you use the stock o2 sensor hole and make it work so the car doesnt freak out when it doesnt have one lol

 

just get a bung welded into the downpipe and leave the secondary o2 sensor alone

i dont think it will read it accurately if u use the 2nd o2 sensor bung

are u gonna try or just curious?

 

just wondering lol didnt do anything yet

 

yea its cheap to get the bung weld into the downpipe, if u know the shop it will be cheaper than 30 bucks

 

Sorry not trying to hijack this thread but do you need to remove the downpipe to put the bung in or is there room to weld it in without removal? Just about to put one in and my buddy says i have to remove it.

 

its easier to remove the downpipe

 

Keep in mind the voltage levels on the wideband sensor are different than the narrowband sensor.

 

what does that excatly mean lol

 

if u have a lift leave it on haha

your buddy work at a shop?

 

You can unplug the thing entirely and drive pretty much like normal. It'll throw codes but it'll drive fine, it just won't use fuel trims.

In order to use your wideband as the primary O2, you'll have to mess with the wideband itself and dick around with the wiring (it varies from wideband to wideband, they should have a guide on their website - Innovate does).

 

He doesnt but i've got a friend who does. Do you're saying it's dooable with the downpipe left on on a hoist? It just because i know whats gonna happen, i'm going to go and try to take off the down pipe and have to fight with seized in exhaust bolts, probaby breaking one or two off and giving me more grief haha

 

haha yea i told to a shop and he lifted the car up and i watched him hit a spot on the downpipe with a small hammer or something haha then he welded the bung in and closed it till i had the wideband later on

 

Take the DP off. Im not lying upside down on my back trying to TIG one on for you.

 

lift ftw

 

The sensor should not be pointed down. Heres a install guide from innovate explaining it- http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/s...C-1_Manual.pdf Its on page 7. In order to get it mounted properly you will need to take the dp off.
