With the size of the downpipe they are running, you MIGHT run into some clearance issues, but I would contact Intense about that.

+1 or post in the PL threads

but my guess is that they probably wont fit..or will requiere to get them hacked....sell them to a vortech/na/procharger/stillen/tn owner.

they tested the powerlab kit with stock manifolds and were good to full on the gt37r to 700+whp

I would post this question in the PL thread but it wont let me reply I guess the thread is now view only.

Anywho, is there any spot on the downpipe/exhaust before the stock pieces to mount a wideband while retaining the factory o2s?

that would be nice, leaving the stock O2s in place, then adding an extra one for the wideband.

I wonder what size the bung is. fit the AEM unit?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't ALL wideband O2 sensor bungs the same size?

I'm pretty sure all widebands use the same size sensor. Innovative, PLX, AEM, they should all fit. I know Intense's Widebody G35 is running an AEM Wideband in it.

I only said that because I read on one post about having to tap the stock o2 to fit the after market wideband

Then again whos to say that post had anything legit about it.

Aftermarket wideband's and Factory o2 Sensors use the same thread pitch on the sensors. So with the Powerlab kit you have to use a supplied o2 bung plug to thread into the factory header and put your factory driver side o2 sensor in the downpipe...

Absolutely no modification is needed for that process

Hello,

This fact that the thread is "read only" is starting to get on my last nerve. It's been in that state since 1/26, when the mods "revised" the F.I. section. I've told the mods and Kyle about it a few times now, but there's no resolution at this time. Historically, I've been a big fan of the mods on this board, but <--- (yes, I realize that by saying "but", I've just negated my previous statement..) I'm at a loss as to why the thread is still in a "read only" state almost 2 weeks after it was placed in that state..

So there's also an extra spot for the wideband?

Sir,

There's 4 o2 bungs in the PowerLab kit for the 4 factory o2 sensors. There's also a 5th o2 bung (pre-plugged) which the end user can use for an aftermarket wide band. So the answer is YES. Hope this helps.
