EPnick22 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 have heard the sensor needs to be in 36 inches from the turbo? thats an awful far distance, people are saying around 12 inches, would just like someone to shed some light on what is best, and also the best way of feeding the sensor through the car from the dash, what's your opinions?

akyakapotter Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 yep needs to be 36 inches away or you will fry the sensor in no time mine was welded in just behind the gear box Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EPnick22 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 cool mate what about the routing for the wires to the dash? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I went up behind the gear box and cut the massive grommet open then resealed it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EPnick22 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 i see, I'll have a look when i get the car rebuilt so i know what space i have etc, should be the next few days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Behind gearbox mounted slightly above 90 degrees 36" down, pointing toward passengers side, there's a perfect spot make sure you get it right the sensors are expensive, wires up through grommet under passengers carpet, though behind dash.

EPnick22 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 so you have it wired up through the floor in the passenger footwell? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 fit it near the gearbox mount and cover the wire with some protective hose going up then route it tru the fire wall as said above Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EPnick22 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Colin you havnt replied to my last PM about the rods Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 yea just around the gearbox area is perfect,mines been great here and good strong/quick readings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 good readings along as you have a decent wideband and dont make the mistake i did and get a CJ-Performance special that brakes within months twice lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EPnick22 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 yeah youve told me many times, gunna reply to my fb chat then Mikey or is there still a problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 so you have it wired up through the floor in the passenger footwell? Yeah, there's a bung there make a slice in it pull it through it keeps things tidier and it's less wires exposed to heat and moving objects around your bay that could potentially cause damage to that expensive wiring loom.

EPnick22 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 I know about the bung in the footwell i just didnt think itd be a very safe place for the loom to go cause of people always getting in and out the car :/ and people always say Id have to be retarded to do it through the floor haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 My loom was fine it never wore down and I always had my mrs in the car with me, its a shorter route and looks to be a mile safer than being near anything else Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Colin you havnt replied to my last PM about the rods ???? sorry mate the reminder never came on will have a peep there now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
