got my new wide band but dont know where to mount it

stal94gt · March 2nd, 2011, 02:11 AM

not sure if anyone here is running the ngk afx wide band but it is one of the best wide bands i have ever used. only problem is its not your standard round face guage, its square so im not sure where to mount it

It would be nice if your hazard switch wasnt in the way i would mount it right there. How much do they go for? Im going to need one with the vortech, did i tell you i picked up a head unit?

stal94gt · March 2nd, 2011, 02:25 AM

congrats on picking up the head unit. the afx is cheap i think i payed 270 shipped or something like that. the only reason i like it is the senser is not a bosh one and it can be calibrated for any weather conditions. its great for keeping things accurate. my tuner uses a professional series wideband on his dyno instead of the pipe in the ass of the car. i have bungs welded in for the widebands to have perfect placement.

Nicos2001GT · March 2nd, 2011, 02:31 AM

Thats legit but at the same time i dont like that its square and akward rather than a round gauge i kinda like correct me if im wrong PLX's wideband goes in the rear view mirror. You have bungs for your tuner widebands?

stal94gt · March 2nd, 2011, 02:37 AM

yes there is strict distances where the senser goes, rule if thumb is before the cats minumum of 10x the distance if the pipe diameter from the head. i still have cats on my car so the rear o2 sensers cant be used. other brand wide band sensers work but like i said before the ngk senser is much better and the calibration means i can calibrate it at the track so it is dead nuts on

Alright i get the tuner should always use the front o2 bungs i got that. Im just asking and curious if it was a straight piped car could you use all 4 o2 bungs?
