Which side to install wideband on

[Gregs]

well since this is my first post I guess I should say hi all!

the other day I got a v1 and a lc-1 wideband. i'm getting ready to install it on my truck and i'm wondering if i should install it on the right or left side collector. does it matter because i think i've heard that the passenger side is the best place.

thanks!

Hi Gregs, welcome to the forum...

Which truck do you have...?

Normally, the passenger side is preferred as you have a bit more room to route cables etc. It also brings the cable into the cab in a place away from the driver, keeping the driver free from clutter.

Technically speaking, it doesn't really matter which side it's on if you are only using a single WB as the only time the the banks are considered as separate entities is for closed loop fueling. Even then, there is very very little to adjust on a "per bank basis". All other calculations for air flow, spark etc effect the entire motor and are not bank specific.

On the trucks Driver side is best , LS1s tend to have a lean bank , drivers side .
Either one will work , but in the trucks drivers side is easiest for power , ground and such .

thanks for the quick reply. i've searched around but have come up dry, does anyone know of any good how-to articles out on the web anywhere?

Yep...drivers side. Apparently the number 7 cylinder has a tendency to lean out.

Hmmm...assuming you're in the US (LHD).
