Different O2 Sensors Front To Back Of Turbo B Series?
FiftyOne replied to FiftyOne's topic in ECU Workshop
Well, just did a long distance drive & got 8.7L/100k. So not real sure whats going on. Thought is at this stage the temp probe in the rear is a little more sensitive & effects the tune in town situations -
Um, isn't it a water to oil cooler....?
-
any idea if the PWR unit is more effective/efficient too?
-
Try to find out what fluid they put in the box too. There are some better oils than others for them
-
Gauge is wired, no pipes
-
I'd like to revise my previous post. My insider is indecisive & gives round about answers now.

I'm told by an insider there is deff no GT coming. At all. What so ever. Do I want them to build this? you bet. Will it happen? no

Hey DD, Fair enough. Car feels a bit better at times, but it's probably based more on temp than anything else. I'm not noticing any corralation between the gauge issues & performance. Any performance issues I'm putting down to heat & no spool/wrong gear Idles high at times. I'm putting it down to a slightly low battery or something of a like. Gauge is stock on the F6. No mods to the car at all restart the car & the gauge might still not be working, next day it'll be working fine. There's also the issues where it's not reading an absolute zero value durring idle/full vac. Tap the gauge pod hard & it sort of rights itself. I'm starting to lean towards a faulty gauge?

+1 on the wheels. I want to do my induction & engine bay much like yours was

Bumping for ideas? thinking its a sticky actuator

Oh sheet! Almost time for a new turbo

*moar*

Need that lumpy v8 sound, most cams pls

Probably keep that in mind actually mate. Ute's starting to drink a bit of fuel which I wasn't expecting, trying to figure out what's going on. Could be likely that rear sensor -
Looked over the other night & saw the gauge wasn't moving and I assumed a hose has blown off somewhere. This morning the gauge was working fine, the arvo again saw the needle not moving. Also, in some conditions I see the slightest hint of a reading (eg highway cruise) & sometimes I don't. Anyone got an idea?

Looks like there's not a huge difference. We think the rear sensor is more for temp only (monitors the cat temp for emissions) where as the front is also for temp+02 -
Just replaced my o2 sensors on the ute & noticed the one behind the cat had a blue connector on the loom & the other at the turbo had a green one. The plugs were basically the same save for the indexing tabs on the sensors themselves. I snapped the tabs off the sensor & just plugged it in to the loom. My understanding is that o2 sensors are pretty much to a standard & they should work when plugged in. So far, no warnings/limp, economy seems better, power is good. Anyone know if there is a difference? (couldn't imagine they would use two different sensors like that surely? I'll ask a former FPV sparky I work with tomorrow as well)

Need pics....

Thought I might kick off a bit of a register for the F6 Utes. I didn't realize they were as rare as they are. Starting here with BF 2006 #0077 in silhouette, fully optioned. Stock

I had some cheaper oil in for a short time to do an intermediate flush, just put RP 20w50 in. Wow, different ute now. Never going back to sh*t oil again. I couldn't get 15w40 at the time, didn't want to go 10w either. I'm happy with the 20 though.
-
I have found the box does surge a bit when its warming up & I've got it in manual maybe a gear too high. Other than that, no issues
-
Just topped up the box with some more penrite dx-vi. Smooth as now
-
Actually, I've heard of a lot of issues with split dumps too
-
Good question, wouldn't mind knowing the difference either
-
Nice ute, just how we like them. Business in the front, party in the back
