| Weavsvet | Wide band O2 bung placement. 1996 LT1 | ||

I picked up a Innovate LM1 WB and meter and need opinions on where to install the bung. I have Stainless Works LT headers with bullet cats. I know it goes before the cat but as with everything on these cars space there is limited there to get it in the 10:00 to 2:00 position recommended. How far away can it be from the cat? Can it be in one of the tubes instead of the collector?
Any help appreciated. Mike |

I got nuttin' - my regular O2 bungs are at 12 o'clock on my collectors, but with a manual tranny there'd probably be room to fudge them over to the side a bit. What are you up to now?

I would put it on a collector. One tube is absolutely pointless. You would be getting a reading from only one cylinder!

Did the instructions give a recommended place to weld it in?
Like Andy said, collector is best, but I have no idea if there is a a minimum distance from the cat. Matthew |

They just said as close to the cat as possible. The problem is space to put it in and take it out easily. I guess if I just use it and take it out as soon as I'm finished mositure shouldn't be an issue for it. The 10:00 to 2:00 position prevents mositure from ruining the WB. Thanks for all the input. |

Mike You will basically be forced to install in the 9/3 o'clock position to make it work/removeable etc. Haven't had a problem with moisture hurting it, what kills a WB 02 is not heating it up properly when not in use/or in use. both sides are in approx. same location, and with sensors clear the chassis about the same: [IMG]http://i28.tinypic.com/mtsf29.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i29.tinypic.com/20a2bmq.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i25.tinypic.com/29ft91t.jpg[/IMG] |

Great pictures!!! Thanks!
This placement is what I had come up with also. Just isn't room elsewhere. I believe 900 to 1300 degree's is the range recommended. How long is to long to leave one in, any idea? Innovate does not give a time frame for that. I watched a video on their website where one was left in for over 44 miles so I'm assuming an hour or so won't hurt. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated! |

Every time you go to drive/run the car you will need to wait for the sensor to warm up first before starting the motor (as per instructions). I also think it is a good idea to pull it and recalibrate it. I have heard some say they would leave it in w/out heating it or using the LM. The claims were doing this that the 02 would last at least a couple months. Typically I will leave it in a few days w/out problems. |
