02 Bung Close to the turbo..
I was gonna weld in another 02 bung in the proper location, but im just curious about something..
my 4inch DP has an 02 bung in it already... but its close to the turbo...
I was thinking it would be harder on the bung to have it that close, but just wondering what you guys think..
this is for the innovate wideband that I have... and it wont be all the time, just for tuning... Normally I disable it, take it out and just plug it (as seen in pictures)
Let me know what you think, If its not a good idea, ill just put another bung in

Re: 02 Bung Close to the turbo.. (Topdawgg)
I see no problem, leave it where it is.
Leave it pluged in all the times, it helps correct fuel. (closed loop) thats the point of it.

Re: 02 Bung Close to the turbo.. (done)
ok, that doesnt help....
There is a bung there... None underneath...
And i Disable my 02 with crome... therefore the 02 sensor never changes anything in the fuel maps, its always the same...
but all i wanna know is will it hurt the 02 being so close to the turbo

im gonna say yes because in all the wideband in structions it says 24 inches because of heat, and that it may cause early failure of the O2, im sure this goes for a stock unit as well.
if youre disabling it why not just leave the plug in it

Re: (Topdawgg)
Its not only just heat. The way it senses the o2 content can be affected by pressures too. Having it on the outside of the 1st bend from the turbo will push air into the o2 moreso than in a straight section, or the side of the bend. You're also concentrating lots of heat at the outside of a bend. Another thing to think of is soot. Since its essentially unburnt fuel, and it will resist turning with the exhaust gasses and be flung onto the o2 sensor, and is corrosive.
If you have the ability to move it to a safer spot, why not? It takes all of $5 in parts, 15 mins of time, and a little bit of welding/cutting. If you can't weld, then its obviously a bit more. I put mine down by the oil pan just before the 2nd bend, and I can still take it out while heatsoaked w/o getting burned or jacking the car up. Its approx 18" from the turbine.

yea, that all makes sense, and Ive thought about it...
But what really confuses me is why there would be a bung there in the first place... if it can never be used...
also, im wondering if i would be fine to have it like that for only a day or 2 of tuning

Again, No it will not hurt the o2. That location of the bung is good.
as for disabiling it, its good to run in closed loop. when you have have temperatures changes and whatnot, the o2 will alter it for you keeping it correct.
if you look at Evos and stis, they have a o2 almost on the turbo charger.

Re: (Topdawgg)
even if the instructions say 24 inches from heat source for heat or corrosive purposes, isnt the heat source the motor anyhow and not the turbo?
Im thinking that the 24 inches is the measured like the distance the exhaust gas travels not the actual distance of the the bung from the motor.
Thats my 2 cents

good point, and mine being a top mount, its actually pretty far from the motor... i keep forgetting that the turbo isnt the heat source..

Re: (Topdawgg)
The turbo actually takes away a lot of the thermal energy away from the exhaust so it's actually easier on the sensor than if it were located in the same place without a turbo. That location is fine. 14b's have an o2 sensor housing bolted right to the turbine. If that's good enough for DSM, than it should be fine.

ok, just curious...
another thing I was thinking was that I wouldnt have long enough wires to reach there... If I extended them, the resistance of the sensor could change, could it not?

Re: (V-SPEC 1)
While the turbo isn't the source of heat (energy, rather), it is the focus of all that heat. You will see the turbine housing glow before the manifold. IMO they will have the o2's on factory cars as close as they can *in the proper orientation* for accurate readings, with service life coming second - easiest way to make money off an enthusiast is to have them only buy factory replacements.
If you want to know why they have the bung where it is, you only have to look at the many manifolds with misaligned runners, cracks after the first handful of heat cycles, and warped flanges. There are plenty of fabricators that do before they think.
