I have been having issues tuning my carbs. I finally decided to by a wideband air fuel package. I have searched and found several responses. I just want to triple check before I weld the bung. Is the area that is circled a good place to put the bung. I plan on putting it on the front side so it will not be noticeable from the rear- I just didn't have a picture of that side.

Looks OK. You want it at the merge. The only problem, for best accuracy the sensor should be 12-18 inches from the head. This theory does not work for a 914. So your next best bet is to wrap the exhaust with thermal wrapping. This will keep the exhaust gases hotter, giving better scavenging. Problem; Wrapping the exhaust will anneal the steel and cause it to become brittle. They will self destruct in time like a grenade. Wrap also voids most header warranties.
So... I think the location is perfect. Just pay attention to where the wire is going. Keep it out of harms way. |
