Hi,

I have the Racing Solution DP/Header and I'm installing the wideband oxygen sensor, for it to be in front of the cat it's only about 12 inches from the exhaust ports. The installation manual recommends approximately 18 inches. Do you think this will cause any issues?

Thanks

 

No no issues, it will still be acurate enough to tune with.

 

^^^ random question of the day. whatd OTTP do to screw u out of 418 bucks? seems expensive

 

Great, thanks

 

i had mine after the cat, and then re done before the cat, and it was hardly a noticable difference

i can check my aem and the wideband on the dyno and they are very similar, and the dyno samples at the farest point in the exhaust system, so your okay

 

What about for the life of the sensor? Will having it closer to the exhaust ports (hotter gasses) reduce it's life?

 

ive never heard of that being an issue, but who knows, im on my second sensor only from ruining the first one by accident

they last about as long as a normal o2 sensor would last, think about your front o2 sensor, that sits in the header, and they last pretty long? just saying

 

well my aem o2 just died after 2 1/2yrs and its pretty close to the turbo so id say it lasts decent and you can get a replacement from zzp for like $60

 

Good point, I didn't think about that. That makes a lot of sense.

 

exaclty, i think i grabbed a new sensor for like $49 on ebay
