Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 What kind of brakets you use for the fuel lines? Can´t find them. nice projekt. i can get some from my fabricators shop if you want some,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Wide band Sensor is far to close to the Turbo. You will cook it and it will suffer from inaccuracy (or fail). They need to be between 1/2 to 1m from the turbine exit. i hear you but the other option is moving to the other port but that one is only 1 inch away from it, so am not sure if its going to make any difference tbh with the heat issue...

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 How long until this is finished? This is a very nice car so far car is almost ready to fire up tbh, just waiting on a few parts and few bits from fabricators. also need the exhaust issue sorted.. in theory we have around 1 to 2 days work on it (once all parts are here)..

Nodalmighty Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Most supra downpipes are like that, mine is only 2" further away and has just failed after 3 years. But after how much mileage? These sensors should be good for 100,000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 But after how much mileage? These sensors should be good for 100,000 miles. 20k ish, i think its failed due to the fact my car is smoking a lot at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most wide bands come with a bung as part of the kit. I would weld it in further down the downpipe (just make sure you tap the threads out afterwards when it's cooled as you won't be the first to have a sensor pick up on it's way out). Also, make sure it's between 9 and 3 o'clock clockwise, anything in the bottom 180deg's of an exhaust pipe is considered a no, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Isn't the best place for these in the midpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be between 1/2 to 1m from the turbine exit. Lyndon is right guys and have said this to a few people before. It even states in the AEM and Innovate manuals im sure that it needs to be at least around 2ft away from the turbo or exhaust valves if no turbo is used. The heat will kill them more quickly but also some of the older units like the innovate Lc1 or vems kit will read out when they get too hot due to the heater calibration of the unit. But it doesn't help that most downpipe manufactures for the 2jzgte put them in the top of the downpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictorch Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Isn't the best place for these in the midpipe. Thought that as well.... My sensor on my bpu car was in the midpipe, is it to far away on a single turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I've seen guys using tailpipe AFR's, for road mapping, so I guess having it in the midpipe would be absolutely fine? I know it's important to have the EGT gauge as close as possible but what is the gain of an AFR gauge bunged next to the turbo? I'll need to check where mine is fitted now as I didn't have a hand in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I believe car manufacturers like to get them as close to the engine as they dare with some longevity also in mind, as they help get through the cold start emission tests if they heat up fast near the ports. My RB26 has a pair of widebands within 8 inches of the ports, in the stock manifolds, in the stock positions. I need to keep them there as I want to read the AFR as two separate 3 cylinder engines. Further downstream I would just read an average of the six cylinders. They are Bosch LSU4.0 units and have been fine there for about 8 track days and some mapping sessions.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Talk to SRD, my Fans have been superb. how are you controlling your fans mate ? a billion conrtroller or just ON/OFF switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 how are you controlling your fans mate ? a billion conrtroller or just ON/OFF switch The ECU will control them but I fit an overide switch as well so they can be turned on at any time. Use a relay for each fan as well and fuse them seperatly, that way if one ever failed the other would still work. Ryan can program the ECU for it, he just needs a negative trigger wire run down the the ecu so he can connect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 little update, am hoping to fire it up next saturday (fingers crossed). polished power steering bottle and also new custom bracket fitted to hypertune for throttle cable.. some trial fitting of some pipework (please not these pics are not the actual finished article) we just looking at ways of doing pipe. (so i took some pics).. new exhaust fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
