Hey Ya'll

I got a 94 SR20 Blacktop and was wondering if I were to get a Wide-Band O2 Sensor Kit should I put it in the Cat Conver or the Turbo Elbow? Also shuold I still run 2 O2 Sensors or should I plug one up?

Thanks!

If ya'll have any setups that work out for you, please share

I got the stock o2 sensor on the elbow and my wideband is on my downpipe about 3 inch away from where the pipe bend to turbo

Nice Emperor, sounds like a good idea to me. I assume that if I put my Wideband in my Cat nothing crazy will happen.

u will get a leaner reading if it's in cat or after the cat as I assume u r running an actual cat and not a straight pipe

You want the O2 sensor 18 inches downstream of the turbo, but before the cat. You want it mounted at or above 9 or 3 'o' clock in the piping.

Is that a cut out on that exhaust? I always wanted to do that and keep the stock cat-back. I like how you hid it, pointing under you're car.

How does it sound? Smooth, raspy or really F-N loud?Do you feel a torque loss?

Woo Go RB25, thanks for the help.

I wana get a SAFC to get that control so If this changes anything let me know

I would modify the above by saying you need to mount it at he 10 or 2 o'clock angle in the piping to prevent any condensation from collecting in the sensor and killing it.

good luck
