Default Wide band O2 sensor.........

To use one of these to see everything, ie, mixtures other than just the perfect 14.7:1- would I need to weld in a different sized bung to screw this into.....................
THanks

You can use the one that your narrow band is in, since most can be used as a wide band as well as a narrow band.

Before. You need to see the exhaust before the cats muck with it.

Just got it going this weekend - wanted a separate bung for it. It's wired into the ecm through egr, and I've got HPT recognizing it.

But I think I may have a ground offset problem - I think I'm seeing about .2 richer in HPT than what the display is showing me when under wot. Really haven't had a chance to lay down some good runs to test yet though. Plus I haven't decided where I want the display itself to stay so I've sorta been trying to hold it and watch when I punch it...

I'll get it sorted out. Worst comes to worst I can always upgrade to a pro unit - but that's last resort!

I have heard that if you put it after the cats, it's only off by like .1 or .2 I know that's a difference but not too bad. I'm sure someone will correct me if i was wrong in hearing that.

I thought it was .5 off if you were post cat. I plan on replacing one or both of the stock o2 sensors and going with a FAST dual wideband setup, send the 0-1V back to the stock computer.
