Wideband relocation for E85 picture request

[jvm051]

Looking for good photos of where the wideband bungs were relocated, for those running E85. I tried searching but only found one pic and it's kinda difficult to see the angle. Do any of you have a picture of it installed on the car... Stainless works or power.
Thanks

As much angle as you can right behind the existing bungs. Have to do mine next week. I have quickly failing sensors.

My sensors are fine, and I've been on the corn for quite a while now. 10 months I'd say?

Mine shit the bed 3 weeks after long tubes.

Whats this... and why is it happening?

Don't leave the car idling on e85 for long periods without blowing it out before shutting down .

Some cars running E85 have had the 02 sensors burn out because E85 is hygroscopic, and water drips onto the sensors. 02 bung Placement on quite a few of the LT's out there is not optimal for running E85, so different locations, usually angled better prevents this. Factory manifolds have been fine, and Kooks, and AFE seem to have a better location for the 02 bung.

I've had my LT's on for about 6 mos so far and no issues for me. Wonder why some have the issue and some don't.

Interesting... so the angled bung adapters are recommended for both O2 sensors?

As far as I know and don't quote me but supposed to only be for the fronts. Backs are usually turned off in the tune, so not a big deal.

Catless headers with e85 do not retain enough heat when idling , the heater circuit stays on to keep the sensor above 800 degrees . The heater circuit is what fails usually . This is what happened to mine . Others may have failed when the condensate drips onto the hot porcelain and causes it to fracture
