Do you need O2's? 2 bar SD On a turbo application, HP Tuners 2 bar SD operating system... what do the front O2's do? Can I leave them out? rears are already long gone and shut off. |
Fronts are closed loop. If they are out you will be running 2bar SD OL. Some people do it some don't. Most people who do are usually purpose driven cars. I myself am running 2 bar SD with front 02's. |
^+1 i dont run 02's because i like running leaded race fuel and that kills 02's. but it is a pain in the ass sometimes when the weather starts changing alot as it can not adjust. |
Reason I ask is my friends BMW we are building, we went through the harness and eliminated all the unneeded wires.... and I think they got eliminated. It would be a pain in the ass to probably rewire them. Just wondering if it will work w/o. Would it just take longer to tune and dial in the VE table? Like you'd have to tune it with each weather change? |
Front o2's I have found are easily fooled by weird cams and non pump gas, so I would ditch them in any case. The problem is that with SD, your tune is going to be weather effected WAY more than a MAF tune would be, so the front o2's would help if you are going to do a 100% pump gas / stockish cam setup. maf + no front o2's = awesome SD + no front o2's = not so much. |
How about E85 running the front o2s? |
