I installed a Watson Racing O/R H-pipe that does not have the rear O2 sensor bungs. So I disconnected the O2 sensors and installed the new tune provided from Bama. I am getting the above mentioned codes (P0141 and P0161 O2 Heater Circuit) and I was told by Bama that they highly recommend...
Kenneth, did Bama ever turn off your rear 02s? I just installed an O/R H and they do not come with bungs. Bama's solution is to "just weld in new bungs and install the O2 sensors back in."
That just sounds ridiculous. It may be time to find a new tuner(?)
Thank you!!
Thanks guys!! Jim Jr., Nick and Julie were all great in getting it out to me FAST as well as great pricing and customer service. Keep up the great work!!
Just called and apparently it was indeed leaded. Looks like I will be getting the h-pipe sooner rather than later.
A few more questions:
We have 4 O2 sensors, correct? Would they all be damaged?
Will running it now with bad O2 sensors hurt the car even more?
What race gas is recommended for...
'12 GT, M6, Bama 93 tune. No other mods done to the engine.
Decided to run 110 race fuel (about 4 gallons mixed in with another 4 gallons of 93) and now throwing the codes listed above. Research I've done (including a search on this forum and others) says it's either a burnt/clogged cats or...
Are they interchangeable?
I have seen the threads of '12 owners wanting to change to '13 tail lights and there being a gap to deal with. Is that because of the tail lights themselves? Or the trunk lid?
You can add me to that list. I've had mine for a year and a half and no noise. It's a DD that sees lots of miles and I beat up on her fairly often too.
And Ghost, I also prefer the one notch below neutral prop position. But I think that has a lot to do with 1) suspension/tires/sway-bar set up...
Whiskey, any updates on this?
I was about to start a new thread before I ran across this one (thanks Search). I have been following your autox thread but don't see the mention to this upgrade.
Interested in hearing how the V710's are for autocross. I am sure they are great for the track.
I know nothing compares to the purple stuff, but I mean, do they heat up and grip rather quickly? Do they last longer (thru extended heat cycles)? Etc.
I will stay tuned. Best if luck!!
one eyed willy,
Although I didn't get to meet you in person, I did see your ride in the garage area. They had us running around back and forth from the track and classroom. I was parked way out back and never got around to meeting many people. And I felt funny asking for "one eyed willy" in...
There is only one way to find out...lol. I have seen many/some people saying our cars work very well with the same compound F/R. Others stick to the traditional more aggressive compound in the F and less in the R. As with most things, YMMV.
Where are you getting the rears from in a "special...
Nope. Just the 43's. And they are just as you would expect them to be on rotors. The rotors had some white discoloration from the heat, but no cracks or excessive wear. The pads will outlast the rotors if you need them to. I will just buy another set of cheap blank rotors when the time comes.
No, it does not mean that, necessarily. Just sharing the combo I used last year.
When I bought the pads for the front, the ST43 compound was not available for the rears at the time. If they are available now, please let me know because I would love a set for the rears as well. I just haven't...
Hawk DTC-70 in the front and DTC-60 in the rear is used by a lot of people around here and they seem to like them.
Carbotech offers XP12/XP10.
I will be using the Raybestos ST43 pads in the front and Hawk HP Plus in the rear. Using Motul RBF600 and Ford Racing's brake ducts I had zero brake...
As stated above/before, worry about a good braking system (pads & rotors with good brake fluid) and stay on street tires. Probably don't need all of the other stuff right now. Get your rest, drink lots of water, listen to your instructor and HAVE FUN!!
Keep an eye out for me too. I will see...
Besides having an excellent product line at great pricing, your customer service is STELLAR. After having an issue with an order ("no one's fault"), AM took care of it and remedied the problem right away. For that, THANK YOU!!
OP: If you are currently running a stock set up and the choices are a set of $1k coil overs or a watts link, spend your hard earned $ on some struts/shocks and springs. My guess is that the $1k coil overs will be of inferior quality and you will ultimately be unhappy with them and spending more...
Those are 285/35ZR18 Hankook Ventus R-S3 - Great dry autocross tire for those that have to stay within "street tire" UTQG -140 wear. Some even use them as a DD tire but I drive way too much for that. I have over 60 runs and an track day event on those tires. I think they will heat cycle out...
