Support Team Shaun_E Posted November 16, 2005 Support Team Share Posted November 16, 2005 I need to get a boss for the Lambda probe put into the collector of my exhaust system before I get the engine mapped - I will also need a plug for the existing hole in primary 4. Can anyone suggest a good source for this, preferably near to Slough? Is it a standard bit that any exhaust place will have or will I have to order it specially? As usual I have left this to the last minute so need to get it done today or tomorrow (or Tuesday at a push). thanks, Shaun Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave McCulloch Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Shaun Is this something Emerald need to map the car, or is it a "nice to have". I'm booked in for 9th December but only have the standard lambda sensor in primary 4. Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothecary Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Shaun, Are you off to Emerald soon then? Let us know how you get on. Paul SL No.174 Member No.109xx Pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Dave - It would certainly help provide a more representative reading for Emeralds wide band lambda if you had a boss located in the single pipe reading from all 4 cylinders C7 TOP Powered by Hellier Performance 😬 South Wales AO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted November 17, 2005 Author Support Team Share Posted November 17, 2005 Dave M - as Dave J says, it is better to have the Lambda probe taking an average reading rather than an individual cylinder. For example if cylinder 4 is running a bit richer than the others and the fueling is backed off across the board, then one of the other cylinders could end up running lean - at least thats how I understand the risks. The Lambda probe is only required for the mapping session as it is normal to NOT run the Emerald in closed loop. Emerald use their own wide band Lambda sensor for the mapping session so no need to extend the wires of your existing one. Off to Emerald on Wednesday so will post results when I get back.
