wideband install help

[94-5.0GT]

i bought an aem uego wideband. first question where should i put the bung? on the long header or in the h pipe? i know to put on the driver side cause cylinder 8 run the leanest. i plan on keeping it in the stang for awhile til i get my turbocoupe done

The instructions will typically advise on sensor location. It will typically be near a collector, with a maximum specified distance from the exhaust ports. I had a dual wideband, and had both of the on the "side" of the pipe (to avoid moisture) about 6 inches from the header flange if I remember correctly. However, I'm old and senile to take that for what it's worth.

paul is right on the location...

in my experiences with my motors (forced induction) cylinders 7 and 8 are the leanest... but you won't pick that up on the wideband as it is the average of the entire bank.

Make sure the bung is the right depth.

About the 3 o'clock on the h pipe before the cat

Hey Paul are dual Widebands worth it?

 

[Paul]

Nope. Don't bother. I did it because it was overkill like the rest of my stupid car.

Not overkill, really handy for tuning and diagnosing issues

Best gauges to have IMO are:
Oil pressure
Water Temp
Vac
Wideband
Trans temp (If auto)

For the overwhelming number of users who don't tune their own stuff, it's overkill. I had it because I had an AEM with dual-channel widebands so my buddy could tune the car. I'm the major exception, not the rule.
