any one ever fitted a Lambda sensor on the storm?

Post by seb421 »

Just been having a nosey at this, think I've gone a bit gauge mad

would it work with the storm where would be best place to drill and fit on the exhaust?

I was looking into these, I'm not sure how accurate they are with two cylinders going through the one exhaust as you would only be able to get an average reading between the two cylinders. Unless you had two Lambda sensors, one for each cylinder. And then you would have to have a meter that can switch between the two, and also give you an average between the two.

IIRC Jamie Douharty (if that how it spelt) on the hawk site uses one. I believe he has the sensor at the Y junction between both links. If you had two sensors then you could have one for each cylinder and place at the top of each link pipe closer to the cylinder. I also believe you get a more accurate reading the closer to the cylinder outlet you are. The other thing to take into consideration is that, with all the hot exhaust gases passing over it, I think the Lambda sensors themselves have a lifespan and do need changing after so long.

But if it's just gadgets your after and you want to make the storm look like the cockpit of a fighter jet (stormfighter :lol: ) then it certainly does the trick.
