Replacing Narrowband with Wideband

[horizontalkev]

Do I completely replace the narrowband with the wideband? I want to replace stock 02 sensor with wideband and simulate narrowband.. Is that correct?

EDIT -RESOLVED- Caved in and bought a bung from Oriellys for $3.50 and will weld it in myself. Much easier, my headache is almost gone

you sure about that? It does have a NB sim built in the (lambda?) box or whatever its called. The way it comes out of the box without touching lmconfig should be good for you. You want the NB 0-1vdc signal to ecu front o2 and the WB 0-5vdc running to the gauge. Im pretty sure it works.....

It may work but not as flawless as you want. Unfortunately that's what a lot of people adviced against.

Yea, I never tried it so I am speculating. I suppose a second bung welded in IS the best choice regardless.

I agree, welded an extra bung won't affect the first o2 sensor and it will allow you to place the wideband sensor in the best possible spot downstream of the turbo.

Because then you don't have to have a bung welded into the downpipe or deal with a delayed signal from the rear spot.

Out of curiosity, which wideband are you installing?

Then why can't you weld it off the manifold or before the stock o2 sensor. just wondering.

Now I don't know what to do.. Thanks guys . I've heard some say the nb simulation is flawless, but the other half say its glitchy and sometimes inaccurate.

Edit- Called around for some copper plate to use as a heat sink and for the size I want, I could only find one place with it and these bastards want $60... Where did you guys get your copper plate and how much? My shop no longer needs copper since we stopped using them for trailer tail light accents
