WBO2 sensor location
Discussion
I need some advice on were to fit a WBO2 sensor on a Rover V8 in a kitcar.
The exhaust system is 4-1 on either bank, no cross-over. Do iI fit the sensor on one bank in the collector were the 4 primaries come together. The primaries are about 90cm (3ft) long in average.
Or would it be better to weld some bungs in # 1, 2, 5 and 6 straight after the head and swap the sensor about?
I want to use it for initial tuning and later monitoring.
The sensor will be a Bosch LSU4 type.

If there are air leaks after the sensor, I would assume they do not interfere with the measurement?
My exhaust system does have some minor leaks after the collector, going into the side pipes.

Sophisticated and Rover V8 are not words I would normally use in the same sentence.
This kitcar of mine is a track tool with road use to drive to and from. Brute force is more an issue than sophistication.
The WBO2 will be part of the VEMS gen 3.2 controller set-up. The sensor will always provide information to the controller.

I agree, it will be saver to run the engine on the richer side.
My initial aim will be high 14 for cruising and 13 for part throttle acceleration and probably high 12 for all out WOT. Anyone have some comments on that?
As to the air leak and sensor false measurements, it would be lean would it not?
The sensor would see oxygen surplus which is lean.
I am sure someone will correct me if wrong.
