Just need to know the ins and outs of fitting, what can i extend the lambda wire with and the top right of the manifold has some sort of mounting i take it is for the 6n but isit needed for our ones because i dont think it is????
And the 2 inch long pipe welded onto the left hand side of the manifold at the top, what is that for im gona cut it of as it looks pointless to have on??
cheers pals!
Any1 Fitted a Raceland manifold and extended a lambda wire?

Pretty sure the bit your planning to cut off is for the OEM air intake, to feed hot air back into the filter on cold days.

Yeah i fort it was summin to do with the airbox, iv run my cold air intake for a while now cold and hot weather, never had any issues but il be cutting that off and smoothing it down lol!
Cant wait to have it all free flowing with my de-cat aswell!

You can extend the labmda wires fairly easily...
Make sure you use silicone cables though.. normal PVC ones will melt!
You need to get some proper crimp connectors, dont solder them.... solder will melt!
Crimp them, heat shrink them and then clip the wire somewhere cool

Re: Any1 Fitted a Raceland manifold and extended a lambda wire?
Ive extend my lambda sensor in this way, but i get a fault code saying that "lambda sensor bank 1, response too slow." Could this mean that my lambda sensor has gone faulty? As i have used wires off an old lambda sensor and crimps without any luck.tegwin wrote:You can extend the labmda wires fairly easily...

Re: Any1 Fitted a Raceland manifold and extended a lambda wire?
Im gona solder them then obviosly heat shrink, iv got some heat retardent wire loom protection stuff at work, i work in a garage so i can get it up in the air, U find the manifold boltscame off easy?
Im gona soak mine after i get in from work with good old wd40,
U notice a change in noise and acceleration at all?
also did u need to use the etp on the last downpipe, the extension at the top with 3 holes in it?
Iv cut the horrid bit of pipe of the 1st downpipe!
