Re: odd wideband behaviour

Yep, that is the $1m question. Given most oem applications are short headers close to the engine and heat quickly, even if post turbo. Compared to many aftermarket applications with long runners, low points for condensation collection and long down pipes post turbo hotside before getting somewhere y...

Re: EGT probes

yeah I was thinking smearing the side rather than the tip and rotate it gently in to allow excess to be pushed out the data you get will be interesting with and without WI, might help optimise WI volume. and also will be interesting if you can get a decent AFR character curve out of them (CHT v AFR)...

Re: odd wideband behaviour

Thanks Tim. The heating being on with ignition on has always bothered me, there should be an enable with run mode option. Its an S6+ pnp, the provided cal drives the heaters at ~47% duty at "0" seconds declining to ~40% duty once they are warmed up (which is about 30 seconds also like Pete...

Re: EGT probes

very nice work! that's exactly what I was up to (CHT)... decided to not bother with it for now but might go back to it one day.
out of interest, are you using a thermal paste or similar between probe and head?

odd wideband behaviour

I'm getting some odd behaviour that just comes and goes randomly. I have 2x LSU 4.9s set right next two each other, just in case one failed I could switch which bank I was reading from. 1. Sometimes one, or rarely both sensors read lambda 1 (default sensor fail value is not set at this value), and t...

Re: EGT probes

Slightly off topic, have you measured ODs of various thermal couple sheaths and if so what is the typical tolerance? I.e is an advertised 1mm sheath 1mm +/-0.025mm or 1mm +0, -0.05mm etc. Looking to machine a custom thermowell plug and i can't find this kind of info so i can specify exact bore ID sp...

Re: More water / meth injection

Peter, are you still always preturbo? mentioned earlier in this thread.

- do you think 100% water preturbo would cause more or less compressor wheel damage? What have you learnt the key aspects to prevent compressor damage?
- do you run no intercooler?


Thanks.

Re: S6Plus Ethernet not connecting on new laptop

Thought so. Had to change the router configuration to AP mode to make it work. All good.
