Was looking at the Ferrita downpipe for my C70 yesterday, and noticed there's a blanked off boss before the cat, so once I've got an AFR guage the sensor should screw straight in. :D

Looks like you've had an exhausting few days !.

Like you wouldn't believe. ;) The C70 one should be easier to fit, once I've changed the turbo.

If its a M18 thread then yes you use it for a afr gauge sensor.

If not I am sure I have a m18 tap in the tool box,Any idear the pitch required.

m18 x1.5 60 degree angle

Is it the same as a lambda thread, as I have a couple of spares lying around I could try in it.

Makes a change, looks like something might be easier than I though. ;)

looking at the position of the bung, & where it'll be it looks like the sensor will be on the lower portion of the exhaust pipe. The instructions i got with my Innovate AFR said to mount it on the upper section of the pipe
Post 677068 by stribo on 2014-01-03 19:17:41
It's still before the cat though, so won't it get the same reading as if it was higher up?

How far up do you mean?? Got to be a good distance away from the turbo ie 12" or so that bung looks right to me apart from the angle can't remember what mine said maybe 45 I'm not sure would have to look it up. Aem is mine so might be different to yours

i'm not talking about the distance, i mean the angle the sensor is going to be at. They say not to mount it vertically or lower, think it was something to do with condensation collecting on it & killing the sensor
[quote]Do NOT install the Bung below the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock position.
Condensation can form in the exhaust pipe and permanently damage the sensor.
6 o’clock is the absolute worst position to mount the sensor.[/quote]
Post 677073 by stribo on 2014-01-03 19:30:33
Assuming the AFR and Lambda sensors are the same thread, could I mount the AFR at the top, and the lambda in the lower one?
Post 677077 by p fandango on 2014-01-03 19:41:04
i used the 1st bung on the Ferrita pipe, some people seem to think its too close to the turbo. I couldn't find anything in the Innovate instruction referring to distance from the turbo, all they said was [quote]"On TURBO CHARGED vehicles:
Install the bung downstream from the turbo before the catalytic converter. The high exhaust
pressure before the turbo interferes with the lambda measurement and the high exhaust
temperatures encountered there can damage the sensor"[/quote]
they do show you hold to make a heatsink if it does throw an error code for excess heat

That was my thought, would the lambda be O.K. in the lower port.?

i would of thought it can suffer from the same problems as the AFR lamba sensor if you put it there
Post 677093 by stribo on 2014-01-03 20:12:07
My only other thought is that part of the pipe is fairly vertical, so would condensation not just run past it?

Yeah, o.k., just doing a bit of research. :P TBH there's so much I have to do before I can even think about fitting the downpipe, but knowing I'll need an AFR guage, just thought I'd find outwhat was possible. How's your V40 coming along, have you replaced that sensor yet?

Hehe, :) no I haven't replaced it yet sadly. Need to sell my tv to help pay for some bits. (Doesn't help that I picked up a new Sony Bravia) lol, I've got a plug in OBD unit now so should be able to get it cleared once in.
Not a hard job though thankfully

With my AEM it stated to put 18" down stream or as far as before the cat you can and also what you said it need to be angled at 10degrees and facing down hill
