O2 bung placement
 

with my motor out I'm looking to place a O2 bung on both of my SSI exhaust system. I had a single placed previously on a car I don't have to reference any longer. what I do recall of the one I had installed previously by a seasoned hand on the passenger side was perfect. allowed turbo valve covers to be removed easily, not to close to the muffler where the wiring from the sensor could be affected by heat. as I recall looking from the rear it was at about 1:30 but I do not recall were on the collector north to south it was placed.

can I get example photos of where best to place them on the driver's and passenger side collector tubes on SSIs? any clock sort of references, and distance from the muffler flange would be great. thanks in advance.

Maybe helpful/maybe not - Here's a couple of links to existing threads where this is discussed:

2nd photo in this post shows where mine is. Just before the curve and angled to clear valve covers.
Zoom in.

perfect! does the passenger side work in the same spot or might that be too close to the oil tank or associated plumbing?? I looked and could not see that side's mounting from you shots

my old bung referenced above:D was placed a bit further toward the beginning of the collector pipe on the passenger side, but that looks like good placement. that would be closer to 11 o'clock per my nomenclature at inquiry.

dennis email heading you way on the work we need to chat over.

I am only running the one sensor for Bitz EFI, so I couldn't say for sure about the other side.
I could look under my car tonight to see if it would be the same.

by the way, what is that injection system? looks pretty crazy in a cool Frankenstein sort of way...

edit::: should have read the sig line...
