Adding a WBO2 bung in the exhaust......European Racing Header for my /4 motor.
My fuel injection (Link) has the ability to gather and use the data from a wideband oxygen sensor, I can also use the LC-1 and laptop or LM-1 with the sensor (both from Innovate Motorsports) Getting it ready: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1124418953.jpg) I used a Uni-bit....expensive little suckers, but worth it...now I just need to figure out how to re-sharpen them (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1124418961.jpg) Used sparkplug to protect the threads as well as offering a "handle" to hold it while tack welding: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1124418986.jpg) Ugly weld, looks better now that I've painted it black:(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1124419002.jpg) |

Hell, I'd take those welds!
Is there a spot on a stock banana muffler that you could install a bung? Just curious. |

cool...I've been looking for a new gig (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) sweet....I've added your arrival date to my calendar, we'll have to schedual a lunch or dinner that day for you if you have the time...I owe you a (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) the bung came with the O2 sensor, I think Mark D. mentioned you can find them for just a few bucks at NAPA and other autoparts places. for the 2.0 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) muffler, you'd either tap into one of the inlets or I guess you could tap into the muffler housing itself, not sure if the later is a good idea or not...anyone??? |

Mike,
Let me know if you need another weld bung. I probably made the one you have if you bought it off the shelf somewhere. I manufacture these for a lot of OEM exhaust guys. Holley, Flow Tech, Bassani, Bursch, Billy Boat, you name it. 18mm x 1.5, steel or stainless with or without a radius bottom. Let me know. Nicely done btw (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Greg |

thanks....it would have been nice to have the bung with the radius'd bottom, what a PITA to get a nice fit (I was lazy and used my bench grinder) This one came from Innovate Motorsport, each O2 kit comes with one luckly.... |

just one ?. why would you put the bung in the replaceable portion of the muffler? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) perhaps better suited in the header after all the merging is finished. i'll pull the exhaust i have and post the picture after awhile.

No offense McMark, but that's not a weld bung... it's an 18mm NUT ! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) Too short and probably a pain to weld across the flats. But they are cost effective if that's what you want.

i want a do over on my ?. after looking at my muffler, the collector is too close to the flange and piping for placement of the bung. eventually i hope to replace this muffler with an edelbrock unit i saw recently, the SDT model #55740 2.0"in/2.0" out, for those who might care. a whole lot cheacheaper than a flowmaster and i think better quality than the bursch replacement. i DO plan on adding another flange down stream to save the bung.

Ummmmm, yeah. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) I never claimed it was The Perfect Bung , I just said it was a cheap alternative. It has the correct thread. It is possible to weld it into an exhaust pipe without any real difficulty. Give me a break. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Up here they want something like $20 for that bung (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pissoff.gif) A $1.50 for a nut that does the same job sounds good to me! |

$5.00 for a pair on eBay regular steel.... $6.50 for a pair of stainless steel ones...... even I am not that cheap...at that price who cares...the muffler is not going to just fall apart and need replacing next week (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) besides, when I put the turbo on, the O2 would be too close to the turbo if I welded the bung to the collector..... |

I was recently doing some work on a used Upright Conversion Tangerine Header. The customer had added an O2 bung himself that he bought from Jeggs. When it went through the alkaline bath to remove the old H/T coating before being recoated the bung came out full of pinholes, and the threads were also eroded away. On closer inspection I noticed the mig weld had eaten away at the bung material too. Not all O2 bungs are created equal I guess. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)
I had bought some bungs wholesale from Hooker but they wanted way too much $$. More recently I picked up some stainless ones from Vibrant which were much more reasonably priced. I like to TIG bronze weld O2 bungs. Less distortion and oxidation that way. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
