wideband installation ?

Just wondering since i have a test pipe would it be fine for me to install it on the extra Bung already welded on it? I know they say not to do it after a "Cat" but since i have straight threw i didnt think it would matter

well on the test pipe it has a bug welded right next to the flanges by the downpipe id say about 1" away. Ohhh and its a straight bung not like the o2 cel eliminator bungs that are welded at angles

What ever test pipe you bought the manufacture probably has the details as to what the extra bung is for and more than likely is for the installation of a wide band o2 censor. And im sure it will be fine.

Does the Innovate LC-1 require any wiring by chance?

Yah it does but its very simple. A few grounds then you have two inputs wires for a gauge and a data logger then your 12v switched source and the last wire you run to your calibration led and switch. When i got it in and started to read the directions i got lost but reading over them a second time i had it no problem. It really is pretty easy only thing you really need is a drill, welder with ss wire, and a soldier for your connections.

Not trying to steal the thread from kaonashi but I have a question and I dont see a need to start a whole new thread. I have a Perrin turboback exhaust with no cat and no resnator. I just had my AEM A/F gauge installed and I need to know the best place to install the bung. I was told that it should be in the downpipe so it gets the mixture asap. However, could someone shine some light on this.....thanks

If you dont have the bung already yes put it about 3-4 " from the cat, dont put it too close to the turbo or i believe it wont read correctly. I just asked if it was fine on the testpipe since its not filtered

If you have the ultimate racing testpipe. I d0nt think thats going to be a good enough spot. The bung on that testpipe is for the cel fix. You can plug your o2 sensor there and not throw a code. Have you looked at the hole in the bung? In the UR tp bung the whole is pretty small. Its designed to get enough air in there for the sensor but not enough to throw a code for no cat Just my 2 cents
