Hawwy Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Hi allHow would a car run without a lambda sensor as my lambda does not fit into bung and also the wire for it doesnt reach the connector Quote
Broony Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 extend the wire and either get the correct lambda size or put a different bung in. Dont run without one, they dont put them in for fun:) Quote
russ78 Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 it will run like a bag of shit without a lambda sensor dudeyou dont need the other sensor though at the bottom of the cat but you need a lambda sensor (top of cat)hope this helps Quote
Hawwy Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Can i just cut it and join wires to extend Edited August 10, 2012 by Hawwy Quote
kingo228 Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Can i just cut it and join wires to extendi did seems to work fine Quote
akyakapotter Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Why won't it fit where are you trying to fit it ? Pics ? With out it air fuel will be all over the shop mate Quote
Broony Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 single wire- i dont see why not? check the prices of your local motor factors you maybe surprised if not ebay . Quote
funny onion Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I ran mine without one for a while and didn't notice a difference, which makes me think there's a break in the wire on mine somewhere... And i have a wideband so i could see the afr and it was no different with or without... Hmmm... Quote
Hawwy Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Do they be single wire and il post a pic where am fiting it its a racetech decat. Bought it from here previous member who i bought it off his fitted fine its for td04Its thisAnd this bit doesnt go in Edited August 10, 2012 by Hawwy Quote
akyakapotter Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Strange should fit in there maybe you need a new bing welding on looks as though it's already had a different one welded on it. Edited August 10, 2012 by akyakapotter Quote
_shaun_ Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 was my old kit when i got it off driver who ran it on his glanza he didnt use a lamba sensor but when i went to get my emu maped it was having issues with idle so i had the bung added on to fit the lamba to see if it solved the prob. trying to find my lamba sensor atm to measure it up but cant find it in my piles of crap ha Quote
Hawwy Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 Yeah its shauns old kit but his fitted perfect, wer can u get a bung anyway ( didnt wna go that route because i have to take it off again) Quote
_shaun_ Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 ebay or any exhaust /motor factor should have them but ud prob be easier seeing if anyone local had diffrent lambda u could try out. Quote
Hawwy Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 ebay or any exhaust /motor factor should have them but ud prob be easier seeing if anyone local had diffrent lambda u could try out.Jus need your size (width of urs) Or you could sell me urs or swap surely mine would fit in your other setup? ( previously it was in a ct9 decat) Quote
Driver Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I ran without a lambda for about 18 month with the same kit without a single problem. Literally just unplugged it and didn't use it. Mapped by Rick from Race-Tech on an EMB. They put there for a reason on stock cars agreed but its not needed if you're looking after it and putting 99RON etc in it. Mapped and left Closed loop IIRC.

Broony Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 id try just drill it out looks like the hole in the manifold is too small. or find one that fits. i would not and i repeat would not advise running without one. t=comes back to my original point they dont stick them there to look good ;) Quote
Max9650 Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I ran mine without one for a while and didn't notice a difference, which makes me think there's a break in the wire on mine somewhere... And i have a wideband so i could see the afr and it was no different with or without... Hmmm...i drove for about 5miles without one too, didnt even have a bung was loud too felt no different though if anything more responsive lol Quote

Broony Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 ^^ this man speaks sence. Just because you didnt notice any difference doesnt mean there isnt any difference. Quote
Driver Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 But if its run closed loop it ignores and AFR input anyway.I ran the kit you're running Hawwy without a lambda for over 18 month at 1.6 bar on a stock engine and never had a problem and my tuner (you know who it is) runs loads of cars without lambda on a closed loop map and again, no issues from this in the years he has been doing it !

Broony Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) ^^^ don't doubt that but is his car mapped for closed loop??????? Edited August 11, 2012 by Broony Quote
Hawwy Posted August 11, 2012 Author Posted August 11, 2012 No mapped yetBut i got a file in the bung shaved some off and it just about fitted Quote
