Bailey. Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 About to order a greddy profec b spec 2 and thought while im at it is it worth buying a aem wideband and get it all fitted up at the same time. the car is at bpu but the reason im buying a controller is because i am using the silencer in my nur spec exhaust as it is soooo bloody loud without, but oviously is restricting boost back to 0.8 bar, my worry is this, the car has a blitz ecu fitted and i am unsure how/what it is mapped to, and have few concerns about running lean etc!!! is it a worthy upgrade????

Wez Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Never a bad thing to monitor AFR, I would chuck EGT in there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 I already have a defi egt fitted but previous owner never had it fitted to the manifold, said he never had a chance get it tapped, much of an issue to do this as the sensor is zip tied up on the bulkhead???

Swampy442 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Its useless tywrapped to the bulkhead!! But its a turbos off job to drill it just so you can get all the swarf out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) Its useless tywrapped to the bulkhead!! But its a turbos off job to drill it just so you can get all the swarf out Not entirely true, lots have them fitted without removing anything, if you drill and tap while it's running and your careful the swarf should be blown out Another option is install after the turbos, even that is better than nothing, just remember there's approx 200degC difference, plus the response will be lazy/slow in comparison to one mounted in a runner.

dude Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Not entirely true, lots have them fitted without removing anything, if you drill and tap while it's running and your careful the swarf should be blown out Another option is install after the turbos, even that is better than nothing, just remember there's approx 200degC difference, plus the response will be lazy/slow in comparison to one mounted in a runner. And if the tip comes off the sensor it doesn't go thru the turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 And if the tip comes off the sensor it doesn't go thru the turbos. is this almost a bit more of a sensible way of doing then dude?? only thing is if the tip did come off and ruin the turbo's its a good excuse to go single:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
