|
|
I know this isn't the ideal setup as I would only be able to get readings for 2 cylinders. I was wondering where I should place it and if it would give me any worthwhile readings for tuning/jet selection. I know a collector style exhaust is probably better suited for this, but my current muffler is working well enough at the moment.
Thanks for the help |

I put mine only on the 3/4 side as I wanted a hotter exhaust reading and not in the muffler.

Thank you, that's a big help. Did you have to add additional wiring to get the gauge to reach the dash, or was it long enough. I would imagine that it would be possible to lengthen the harness to the gauge provided the right gauge wiring was used. It's not like a CHT gauge. |

read my whole thread linked above. i show how i wired and stored everything. On the Innovate brand AFR gauge i used. you dont have to run the O2 cable all the way forward. Its very straightforward _________________ Rebuild your own FI Harness..My Harness

Got it. Thanks! My Innovate unit plugs the O2 sensor directly to the gauge. Of course it is not long enough so I will have to buy an extension. |
