Love your videos man. Spent all weekend watching many of them and learned so much!!. Getting ready to toss some turbos in my 03 Silverado with a 5.3L. Im working on routing my hot side and installing my wideband, wanted to make sure I got it installed properly and I seemed to reclall learning that angle is important but didn't remember details, watched a HOLLY video specifically on installing wideband sensors and they didn't even mention that part! But within the first few mins of your video your clarification when you said about the 9 to 3 o clock angle is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

Just ordered an Aem 30-0334 setup, I always try to check a few sources before just going wild but I always find myself back at your videos for learning how to tune my vehicle.

Great video sir. Very professional. Just wanted to throw something out there for those of us who don't have a welder: AEM also has a no-weld bung option and it actually works! P/N 30-2355-XXX. No gimmicks. I did an install vid on my channel if anyone wants to see more on this no-weld option. My AEM UEGO wideband works perfectly.

[Truth-Seeker]

Appreciate the explanation, I’m welder/ fabricator professionally so comfortable welding, but I am only a hobby tinkerer with my vehicles, so I appreciate you explaining where to add the bung for the wideband

[felipebessouat]

Sorry if is a dumb question but I'm learning, what if you are working on a customer vehicle, and lets say that they just want you to tune the maf and they don't want actually do a permanent wide band install, what do you suggest in that situation? I guess you take one o2 sensor off and temporarily install the wide band in that spot to be able to read and collect the data? Thanks in advance, great videos, learning a lot!

[michaelbaskinmichael]

People say a lot but we do the work to make it run better that’s why I watch you not to set here in aww cause I have a lot to learn your good at it but it takes time for me thanks for doing what you do

[kolemieux]

Another great video. You absolutely have the knack for this and love the videos. I'm partial to anything HP tuners and curious on a transition to a Holley Dominator if that is ever possible to show and know you are working with a wide audience.
Thanks for your work!!!!

[JOne]

Thanks bro, just installed mine after watching 😎👍

[stephensallak]

Thanks always for the videos. Can you share how you got the wideband harness through the firewall into the cab? Saying I'm having difficulty is an understatement...

[Qa.]

So 2holes for O2 sensor and one for wide band sensor, is it matter which side you will be installing the wide band sensor ?! The reading for lean and rich will be the same for 2 banks?!

[garydeanstovall]

Hey be sure to get the cut piece of pipe out of the pipe it might mess up a turbo or something. Sorry had to say that

[BurninGas.]

How much pipe do you need behind sensor if your running open pipe no exhaust other then a foot or so off headers

[bobfisher]

Thanks for the video, I have a question on the Innovate DLG-1. According to the directions it says to weld the bungs 24” from the collector. Do you know if that is required? Or why that is? I have seen a lot of installation videos of people not doing that without any problems. I will be installing them on a foxbody, and don’t like where 24” puts the O2 sensor. The stock location of the O2 sensors are within 6” of the collectors. And like I said I see people using the stock locations and just wonder what the reason for the 24” from collectors is. I believe the stock O2 sensors are narrow band, maybe that’s the difference?? Thanks!

[diyspeed]

Best place to mount on stock gmt800 exhaust? I'm thinking right by the trans where the driver side crosses over

[michaelbaskinmichael]

Just wanted to comment on the wide band I bought by mistake, seller says it can’t be adjusted it’s just for viewing, I told them I set up a tune with some basic parameters do you think it will try to adjust with me putting afr corrections and maf frequency in that scan

[gxiong]

I didn't learn to much in this video...
Oh, my bad, you're only referring to the bung holes... 🤪

By leaks, I believe ya know what you're talking about, but I believe ya kinda got the concept a little backwards.
Adding outside air would probably cause the sensor to read lean, but I believe the exhaust heat and pressure should take care of any unwanted outside coming in.

If I had to guess, maybe during the whole cat conv. save the world thingy and having the exhaust pulses evacuating the pipe, maybe certain pollutant gases and fuel vapors escape out of the piping through the leak, and maybe that's why the wideband 02 readings could get thrown off.
Well, I'm just speculating, because I'm still trying to further my knowledge on this topic as well.
And thus why I was watching your video...😄

[abdulazizalowaisi]

Is it possible to have 2 aem o2 sensors connected to 1 display?

[Genschannel]

I have a set of xforce 1 3/4 extractors that have 2 Bungs each side just before the cats get bolted on, I have factory o2 in the ones closest to motor and the next bungs about 4” behind them, is it ok to use the afr o2 sensor in the rear ones? Thanks bud love the vids. Gives us confidence to have a crack at this ourselves

[lsnoma]

Maybe a video on when is a better time to use a generic sensors vs SAE sensors?

[outdoorzone]

Kool vid! What size wire did you weld bung with? .030? .024?
