Hello,
As I waiit for Ken to finish building my 2056 I want to keep moving on other projects. As I mentioned before, I am keeping the LJet, running 2.0 heads, 2.0 intake runners, the flexible couplers from 914Werke, and the larger bus throttle body. I have read a few threads on this conversion/ upgrade and understand it's straightforward, but I may need to verify the AFR. Should I buy a wideband gauge and sensor? Or is this as easy as "adjusting some big wheel one click"? If I should get a wideband setup, which one do you all recommend? Thanks in advance. |

I followed your lead and installed mine pretty much the same way as you did. I ended up using 1/4 ABS and two strong magnets on the back of the ABS. I ended up putting two relays on the same board because I also wired up a relay for my external cooler cooling fan. In hindsight, I could have powered both the wideband and the fans off one relay, not sure why I did two. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I ordered a replacement plug for the sensor extension wire so that I could shorten 4' extension lead by a couple of feet. I called PE and they said not to cut/solder the leads, just shorten with a new plug and pins. I will wrap that up next week when the plug arrives. I could live with the coiled up wires in there, but it looks like a rats nest.
This product and the recommended installs works pretty darn well so far. Thank you for the suggestion. |
