Guest dadd Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hi fellas can any one tell me the best place to fit my afr sensor? thanks. AFR gauges sensor go to sechand decat pipe and you might need to drill the hole and welding. Some of decat it already got O2 sensor for incase if you need need gauge. I bought 2.5 decat with 02 sensor from Chris Wison which is very good qaulity and it cost me 130quid that bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsportcars Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Depends on the sensor. If it is a wideband kit there should be settings in the software/instructions on where to put it. On my Innovate it can be put in the headers, at the collector/downpipe or in the tailpipe of the car. If it is a narrow band/ factory sensor then it should go where the old one used to be. In general though I would say put it in the downpipe collecter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Wideband a take it?, you need to weld the boss that you got with the kit to the second decat pipe, in a range of 9 to 3 O/C not to the bottom of the exhaust tube as water will damage it.

trinitom Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 i have a PLX unit its wideband and narrow is well, some people say to fit as possible to the turbos, some say 2nd decat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I have no experience of the PLX unit, what sensor does it use? I use the Innovate with a Bosch sensor, and i know from experience that the sensors don't like it to hot, so i always use the second decat, but its up to you, if you get overheat errors, you can always move it;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Same sensor, and IMO first decat is less than 24" away from turbo (presuming its STD) anyway its your call mate, like i said you can always move it, but if you want to take sound advice stick with the second, its up to you.

Tricky-Ricky Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Its really a case of looking to see where you have enough space to avoid the sensor touching anything when the pipework moves about, and also as i said it needs to be between 9 o/c and 3 o/c, mine is on the last bend before it joins with the system, there is also a rubber bung in the GB tunnel that you can get sensor through, so the wiring can go inside.
