AEM Wideband UEGO- got it from a ricer shop cause my friend's silvia is sponsored by them and he got it for me for cost, I looked a little funny picking it up at a ricer shop in my drop'em wear mini truckin shirt, cowboy boots and my truckin forearm tat haha but $70 saved is worth it

3" clamps from STS, I've had these for a bit to eliminate the band clamps on my current y pipe. I was gonna install them when I did the wideband but since the pod isn't here yet i'll just put 'em in anyways.


I was curious on install of 2 different things.

for the sts clamps, I have the off road y, so I was planning to install a clamp at each header for removal, and then ideally i'd like to be able to remove the piece under the transmission for when I service it, any of you just cut the y pipe right before the "Y" and weld em in there? where the break in the piping currently is, its directly under the pan so that spot wont work so I was gonna weld that connection and then if it'll work just cut the pipe on the other side of the trans so that whole pipe can be removed when needed.

for the wideband, I see lots of people putting them in the driver side just after the header, wouldn't I get a better reading if I put it just after the y pipe where it becomes 1 pipe? then i'd be reading both banks.
is there enough wire to go from the driver side door pod all the way to the other side where the pipes go into 1?
what size drill bit should I use to drill the hole for the sensor? the instructions didn't say
and to save a little time, the under dash fuse box, is there an empty spot that's switched with ignition? I'll wire in my own fuse but i'd rather not have to use the dvom and find the spot if someone else already knows which one!

 

A little Viagra for the right foot.

 

 

it depends on if you have cats or not. my wideband sensor is before the cat on passenger side.

 

I don't have cats, its just the off road y pipe so that's why I was curious on if I had enough wire length

 

I've hit a snag on putting in those clamps, I'm not sure where on the y pipe to cut to have that pipe under the transmission removable.
Ill get a pic asap

 

Ideally the cut would need to be here but I don't think I'd have room for the clamp
Maybe ill have to live with removing the whole y pipe every time I gotta do a trans filter and service

 

Nice nice

 

Soooo a little update
I royally effed my y pipe

but lesson learned, i'm booked for next friday at a shop that can mandrel bend me a new y pipe and put those v band clamps in as well as make the piece under the trans removable

 

if I was to install and wire up my wideband gauge, not the sensor, would it cause any damage or issues to the calibrating not having the sensor in till next friday?
