SignUp Now!That sucks. Maybe try using a heat sink? My wb is in the same spot....and I have never had any problems. Too much fuel or a lack of timing can cause extreme exhaust temps from unburnt fuel. I wonder if that can be it?
There's a problem than location, if U R melting O2 sensors.
AKA, REAL LEAN, contributing to VERY high EGTS?
Or, maybe even very rich, and the excess fuel is burning in the pipe?
unless you have a really crappy exhaust system, backpressure on th sensor shouldn't be a problem.
that sensor is pretty far back and it should be ok there. there is something going on with your car we just need to find out what it is.
If you are using the Innovative sensor, it will fail there. Thats the same place we have the sensor on two of Shane's cars and we've gone through at least 4 sensors. I talked with Innovative and they told me without question the sensor needs to be under the car. I'd move it.
I was wondering about that also. That little thing is close to $90. I am going to use the copper plate heat sink method talked about in the LC1 manual. Basically a 4"x4" thin sheet of copper with a hole drilled in the center. Then the sensor sandwiches the copper to the bung.sounds good. so near the bottom of the dp is the best place eh. good to know. also with the location its at now i wonder if it would be ok if he used the heat sink that innovate sales.
