are there any kits out there or wideband sensors that directly fit into the bung of the stock 02 sensor? i got my ddp from BIC and never got him to weld in the second bung... damn. Does this mean i have to weld one in myself or is there an alternative?
Wideband sensor in O2 sensor bung

from what i gather you can use an aftermarket wb to replace your stock o2. but i also gather that this is way complicated and that its just better to use the stock one with the aftermarket one. so i would say learn to weld or find someone to do it for you.
You an use a wb in the stock o2 position, but you will have to buy the 2 bolt to screw in adapter peice for the o2 sensor. Best way is to just get a bung and weld it on..
you will soon fry your WB if you put it in the stock location. WB's are NOT as heat tolerant as the stocker.

Actually I have been driving with my wb for a year now, about 1 inch further down then the stock location. No problems.........:biglaugh:
Umm widebands ARE oxygen sensors. Most are OEM sensors for road going automobiles.
Having said that.. my wideband is next to my stock sensor. I think I've had it in for 30k miles.. if not more. Also multiple tankfulls of leaded fuel. Reference the avatar.

I don't think the manufacturers put stuff like "for turbo cars, sensor MUST be installed at least 24" away from turbo" just for kicks.
if you have no problems then thats good.

That's a general disclaimer. Do you think that toyota designed theirs incorrectly in putting it 3 inches behind the turbo?? The idea of an oxygen sensor is to get hot. It can use its internal heater, or the heat from the exhaust gasses to do this. I would personally rather use the heat from the exhaust gasses, and the sensor heats up sooooo much faster. My FJO is ready to go in about 15 seconds of starting the car.
Maybe you're talking about that POS bosche sensor.. I didn't think of that..

Al: Your avitar picture....Is that your piston material on the inside of that muffler from detonation?

Dude, you are confusing the stock narrow band with a wideband.... totally different technology, and narrow band (stock) are much more heat tolerent. So NO toyota was fine putting the stock location where they did, and YES they are designed to be hot to operate correctly, but NO they don't hold up under the EXTREME heat of a high boost engine exhaust if put right at the outlet. But by all means do what you want, its cool. I was just calling it to the man's attention
JBL used to make the adapter, which I was going to use in the stock location for the WB sensor but didn't. Maybe MDC is now producting this? good luck.
I'm lucky I have a pre-existing WB bung on my full RT downpipe to use
