Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the thread size of the bung?

The bung has a standard M18 x 1.5 female thread.

Do I need to weld this kit onto my exhaust?

Yes, this is a weld-on fitting kit. Professional welding is required for installation.

Can I use this kit with stainless steel exhausts?

Yes, the stainless steel version of the kit is recommended for use with stainless steel exhausts to prevent galvanic corrosion.

What is the purpose of the included plug?

The plug is used to seal the bung's threaded hole when a Lambda sensor is not installed, preventing exhaust leaks.

How deep is the bung?

The sensor bung is 1/2 inch (approximately 12.7mm) tall or deep.

Is this kit compatible with all Lambda sensors?

The kit features a standard M18 x 1.5 thread, which is compatible with most common Lambda sensors. However, always confirm your sensor's thread specification.

Troubleshooting

Weld leaks around the bung.

Re-weld the area with proper penetration. Ensure the exhaust surface is clean and free of contaminants before welding.

Lambda sensor not reading correctly after installation.

Verify the sensor is fully seated and the bung is not obstructed. Check the O2 sensor's wiring and ensure the bung is placed in an area with sufficient exhaust flow and temperature.

Plug does not seal completely.

Inspect the threads on both the plug and the bung for damage or debris. Ensure the plug is adequately tightened. Consider applying a high-temperature thread sealant if minor leaks persist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a universal solution for Lambda sensor installation.
  • Includes a plug for temporary sensor removal, enhancing versatility.
  • Available in both mild and stainless steel to match exhaust material.
  • Standard thread size ensures compatibility with most sensors.
  • Compact design minimizes disruption to exhaust flow.

Cons

  • Requires welding for installation, which may necessitate professional help.
  • Not a direct bolt-on solution; professional fabrication is needed.
  • Mild steel version may be susceptible to rust in harsh environments.
  • Installation location on the exhaust is critical for sensor accuracy and may require planning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the optimal location on the exhaust system for Lambda sensor placement. This location should ensure adequate exhaust flow and temperature for accurate readings.
  2. Clean the area on the exhaust pipe where the bung will be welded.
  3. Carefully weld the provided bung onto the exhaust pipe. Ensure a strong, leak-free seal.
  4. Once cooled, thread the Lambda sensor or the provided plug into the bung.

Compatibility:

  • Thread: M18 x 1.5 female thread, compatible with most standard Lambda (oxygen) sensors.
  • Material: Available in mild steel and stainless steel; choose the material that best matches your exhaust system to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Vehicle Fitment: Universal, suitable for most vehicles. Welding expertise is required for installation.

Care:

  • For mild steel bungs, consider applying a high-temperature exhaust coating after welding to prevent corrosion.
  • Regularly check the weld for any signs of cracking or leaks, especially after aggressive driving.
  • Ensure the plug is tightened properly when the sensor is removed to maintain exhaust integrity.
