I wonder if the script applies to the exhaust or the way the car becomes a money pit. [&:]

I think if the latter it would be more appropriate on the bonnet. Possibly slightly rephrased to incorporate the word "bottomless".

i opted for a Dansk exhaust on mine.
It is an exact replacement of what comes on the car standard only in stainless steel. Gives a lovely deep note but very quiet still on tick over inly when revs get high can you hear the SLIGHT difference.

I like the fact that it keeps the original look but is nice and shiny when driving behind the car

The original is also stainless that is why they last 15+years, (however there are some aftermarket non stainless ones that last around 2 years - my Lux had one that I replaced with a stainless original)

The lambda plugs in on a bracket at the back of the inlet manifold.

If you don't have a lambda probe you will have a blanking plug, like Beaky used to have.

What do you mean by used to have? Have you retrofitted the Lambda probe for some reason like fitting a Cat to a non-Cat car?

Thanks for the pics John.

And thanks Scott for asking the question I was too scared to ask for fear of making an arse of myself!

Not sure exactly on Johns reason, but if you want to run a 3 wire narrow band air fuel guage it is a handy place to take the feed from. in fact I think that is Johns reason.
It should be noted that not all vendors will sell you a 3 wire sensor (self heating) and the single wire one is not very accurate / repeatable as different exhaust temps cause the readings to wander.

As Tony suggested, I fitted a Porsche lambda probe to provide a signal for my narrow band AFR gauge. My thoughts were that it fitted properly and, by using the existing loom, meant I didn't have to drill holes through the bulkhead. It does mean that you have to intercept the wires on the big multi-pin plugs going into the DME and KLR, which can be a bit entertaining though.

So true. [&:]

 

[944Turbo]

I used the plug to intercept the signal and fed the wire through an existing gromet.

[944Turbo]

eugh! what an out of focus pic, sorry

 

[PRJ]

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm assuming this is a Lamba probe rather than a blanking plug and annoyingly I'm with Cat?

 

[944Turbo]

looks like the blanking plug is it just a loop?
for probe cable plugs into the same socket and dissapears down towards the exhaust in the turbo area.
Tony

 

[PRJ]

Yes, poor pic but it's a single loop and nothing heading downwards. Good news then!

13 words speak a picture. I thought Patrick Litchfield had died... []

Cheeky git!

looks like the blanking plug ....

Swat it looks like to me.

I tried running WUF with no exhaust at all today.

It was much too loud and a not very pleasant tone, unlike the dump to atmosphere ... [] [] []
