Glanza-Ben Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 My glanzas never had a lambda sensor, now I'm seeing alot of people with issue from there lambda are they needed on theses as Ive never had any running issues apart from when I blew a engine up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Nope just means you will run a bit richer map sensor takes over after about 2.5k to 3k there used before cost about £30 from td worth having one though mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 People think they are having issues with there lambda.. most of the time they arent. The lambda only effects normal driving like cruising or off/very light boost driving. If it is giving incorrect redings the car will either over fuel or run lean in that specific part of the map. Without the lambda you wont get as good mpg (at that part of the map) At WOT/Boost the ecu doesnt use the lambda to adjust fueling at all. This is where most people have the problem and assume its the lambda because thats what everyone does lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I had issues with with mine till I unified it so got a new one Ben that's because your gay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 If you got a wideband you could get the AEM UEGO. It has a 0-1v emulation that you can feed the ecu.. Thats what ill be doing as ill be swapping the narrow band sensor for the wideband as i dont want to mess around fitting it elsewhere.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TimD Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Fitting wideband in the downpipe was too close according to the manual of mine, it suggested about a metre away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richardc9052 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Fitting wideband in the downpipe was too close according to the manual of mine, it suggested about a metre away. yeah my lambda isn't at the manifold.. It's just before the cat on the mid pipe. I know for normal gt/glanzas it's on the cat pipe from turbo Edited April 6, 2014 by richardc9052 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stu Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 A narrow band will tell you if its running rich or lean either side of stoich but it wont tell you how much where as a wide band will.As above, the narrow band only really come into play in the idle/cruise section of the map as on boost the AFR's are always lower than stoich (well should be)Without a narrow band the stock ecu just throws alittle more fuel adjustment in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
