Wideband location ?

[95Dsm22]

This is where the wideband is installed , is it to close ? I've been reading that some have to be a certain foot away , and also people run it on the stock o2 housing ?

Where I always run mine (o2housing) not one issue yet for years and years bro!

Reading instructions for the innovate lc1 recommends mounting the sensor at least 24 inches after the turbo.
That being said I recently moved my wideband sensor to the stock o2 housing location for narrowband simulation with no ill effects so far.
The theory is the heat from being so close to the turbo will degrade sensor life.

I've got mine in the O2 housing.
ECMTuning actually recommends placing it there for best response.

I placed mine 18" downstream from the turbo that's the recommended location when I had it running in the O2 I seemed to get terrible mpg.

Thanks for the responses , looks like I can leave it there and try it out . People say that over 900°f starts killing the o2 ? I know this is pretty dumb but can't do you know of any people who wrap their o2 with header wrap ? Lol

It should be noted that people who run it in the stock o2 location generally are simulating the narrow band signal with ecmlink.

Yea I'm gonna be using ecmlink any tips on that since this is my first time tuning or anywhere you can refer me to.

Just watch the ecmlink videos. They are very helpful, With basic knowledge you will do very well. Simulating is the easiest part, just make sure you wire the wideband into the right pin on your ecu. 2g has several options, I think I used the rear o2 pin. You will most likely get a heater malfunction error CEL but you can have the ecu ignore that via ecmlink as well.
Make sure you click simulate narrowband and then pull the signal from what ever pin you decided to use. Ecmlink also has the available ecu input pins on their website.

Alright thanks I have to check to see what pin the other guy installed it too , it also has a afr gauge but I know that the band is better ,gives more accuracy . I have the motor out rite now so hopefully by the end of the week I can get it running also have the ecmlink on the way , but I need to get a new oil pump because it got scorched

Nice man, report back with how you do or if you have any issues!
