Im going to weld in a bung for my techedge wideband O2, was just curious about the best place for this, should I put it somewhere on the dump pipe, or somewhere just before the cat? I could use the original narrowband O2 position and get my wideband to simulate a narrowband signal, but apparently the factory O2 position is too close for a wideband.

I installed mine in the factory position and using the simulated narrow band signal back to the powerFC for close-loop operation.

From what I gather, the closer the better because there is no lag in readings. I know heat kills O2s but if you're car is running predominantly rich the O2 should survive.

Good point...

johnnilicte do you leave your wideband permanently in or once you finished tuning did you put your narrowband back?

Also how do i find out what the standard narrowband signal looks like so you could simulate it? or did you wideband controller do all this automatically? I think with the techedge your suppose to plot the points for the wide-narrow conversion (possible file on this already out there but I havnt looked)

I have left mine in for logging purposes, apparently the Bosch sensors are good for 80,000k's. They should be mounted no more than 12 inches from the turbo outlet according to the destructions.

I'm running an Innovate LC-1 with DB Gauge, I have it permanantly installed in the car. So far no dramas, have done 2000kms (I rarely drive my car).

Innovate LC-1s have 2x Outputs, 1x for Wide Band, 1x for Narrow Band.

Too hot.

They need to be in operational temperatures, but not boiled.

The good news for you is that the techedge/bosch combination has a heater; so you can pretty much place it where you like.

I'd put it a couple of feet back from the outlet; if that means "just before the cat" then that should be fine.

I have dramas with my innovate, as i believe it is too close to the turbo, about 20cm. Interestingly innovate sell a bung extender/heatsink to alleviate this problem.

doesnt every one :thumbsup:

ive got about 4 lc1's (2 wont talk to the programmer fk knows why) and 2 i use for V8's. My old LM1 seems to be the most reliable and is used for auto tune ecu's.

I get about 2 weeks from a sensor (my dyno uses the same sensor) bear in mind it runs 8 hours a day and gets hammered by vibration and sooty cars. The heat sink is cool and i use one for tuning alot of the jap turbo kits where the sensor is about 10cm's from the exducer.

I would fit the sensor about half way between turbo and cat, they dont like impact (rocks, constant water spray etc) so it is nice to have it up a little.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
