My AEM Uego Wideband Install *Pics*

[darkforcejackal]

Thought this might be helpful or interesting to some...enjoy.

Before...using narrowband gauge..





The AEM Uego gauge (did silver bezel with white backing)....

Getting an exhaust bung - safely away from the turbo heat - set up





Bung & wideband O2 sensor installed

The new look installed (ghetto installed for now lol):





BTW, on full-throttle at 5-6 PSI (KA-T) my AFR's were generally in the 11.2-11.8 area, which I was pretty glad to see considering it's still using nothing but an 8:1 FMU and Walbro. Haven't turned up the boost yet but i'll be trying out 7-8 PSI soon to see how the #'s stack up.

In summary, I thought it was a great buy and would recommend it to anyone interested.

How did you route the wires?? Under the transmission area??I have a hard time figuring out where to mount mine..I still have to get the DP section made when I recieve the kit.. Is your's after or before the cat???I'll be using an Innovate LC1 w/XD16 though..

I cut through the shift boot. Then brought the wire up by the radio.

Be aware that the reading you get will be a tad behind the rpm they take place at. The closer the sensor the closer the time interval.

since you put you the o2 senser further back on the exhaust, would smoging the car have a better chance of passing or no passing

I was just going to mention that.. should ahve gotten a bunge welded on the downpipe.

babowc -- We routed the wires from the wideband sensor away from the exhaust and transmission as best as we could, and ziptied the harness on the way up into the engine bay to one of the solid power steering lines for support. Then, we ran the rest up and through the firewall, ziptying the excess into a bundle in the corner of the engine bay. I made sure to have the sensor mounted before the cat, as per the manual.

WDRacing -- You're a genious; good point - I had noticed the slight delay and had taken note...but now I realize why it's there!

xiongbs13 -- My factory/narrowband O2 sensor is still in place on the downpipe, close the manifold/turbo - so emissions won't be affected at all.

GEO -- The reason I did it the way I did was because the manual insisted on the sensor being at LEAST 36 inches from the turbo, i'm guessing mine is somewhere around 45" away, so I guess I just kind of went "by the book" on this one. It's supposed to help avoid burning the sensor thus extending it's life.

wideband sensors usually last about 1.5 years if you put them on the downpipe.. I rather ahve to pay $70 every year and a half to have an absolute accurate reading then to put it further down and get a skewed reading.
