02 sensor placement for standalone AF gauge


inchoate

Recommended Posts

I got some new seats for the car and getting them to work turned out to be a much bigger job than I anticipated.  Because of that little job the 02 sensor thing has been on the back burner for the last little bit.  I did get the bung welded on and I've got a gauge ready to go.  I really should put in a 12v outlet somewhere in the car but that sounds a lot like work so I'm procrastinating.  I'm holding out hope that Innovate makes another batch of LM-2s which have some capabilities I'd like and is a self contained unit.  Anyway, the school year is wrapping up so I should have some time and good weather in the near future.  Here's the bung

that bung seems like it'll sit the sensor element way too high.. hope it's not an optical illusion.

it's a phone camera effect.  the height is correct.

I was doing some research and that it seems that the bosch sensors need to be minimum 10% of exhaust length from collection point. This helps a lot - if you're not getting any bad readings (when you do the install), it may debunk that research. I went a bit further back and I'm right in front of the shroud. Thank you for this.
