Default Dynojet Wideband Sensor Installation

I just finished the installation of a Dynojet Wideband Commander on my truck. Last month I installed a Snow Performance Methanol kit and using the Wideband will make the tuning more precise. The installation is straight forward but does require the welding of a bung on the exhaust pipe.

Here is the project motor.


Everything is included in the kit for the installation.


First step was to install the bung onto the exhaust. I went to the left down pipe before the catalytic converter.







Then I installed the sensor and ran the wiring harness up to the left front fender where the module is mounted. I secured it to the inner fender by the fuse box.





The harness comes with the connector to plug into the sensor. At the other end it has bear wires that need to be put into the module. The cable comes with extra wire, it is cut to fit.





There is another harness to install the requires 2 grounds and 1 switched power.



There is another harness that is ran from the module to the gauge inside. I ran it through the firewall and then into the door. I mounted the gauge just above the door panel with my Aeroforce scan gauge.





I want to thank Dan at Dynojet for his support on this project.

The sensor needs to be installed in the "top half" of the pipe, so condensation & contaminants won't damage the sensor.

Looks like it's installed at the top of the oe cat,
he has shorty headers on it.

I like the gauge placement, not cluttered, but maybe harder to see than the pillar.

Yeh when I first saw the pic I was gonna post the same thing but then it dawned on me the sensor is in a vertical spot of the run.

I have the same wideband and have never had any issues with it. I use it to trigger my nitrous since it has relay outputs on it. Use TPS and AFR to turn nitrous on and if it runs too lean opens nitrous circuit.

Actually I did/do have one issue, I for the life of me can't get the RPM to work on it. I have tried all those different techniques too.

Here's what I was trying to say. As it sits right now, any contaminants or condensation that drips down the inside of the pipe will collect at the sensor. Here's a link to DynoJet's install manual, and a pic. This applies to all oxygen sensors. Just trying to help.

I see your point, good point as well.
