Thanks Wayne!

tej98, do you know anybody bought from allmag auto before? Their test results are very impressive

The compression numbers for this engine looks excellent, although it has 130k miles. Are they trustworthy ?

I recommend you a small investment, Wideband AFR Air Fuel Ratio Gauge Kit,This way you will have control over the air fuel ratio.

Thank you adriancl
It's great to have resources like you in the forum!

Is this the right product ?

Amazon

It comes with it's own sensor that has to be welded to the downpipe OR the input is taken from the OBD connector ? Thanks!

Following along. I'm getting ready to dig into my engine that I pulled over a year ago.

Going to have to find his video(s) on rebuilding his motor. Only saw he pulled and reinstalled it. Didn't look around enough I guess.

Hi All, I am done with my Engine swap and my R53 is back on the road. Thanks for all your help and suggestions!!

Hi adriancl

Now that my car is back on the road, I wanted to purchase this A/F sensor. May I ask where the sensor goes? Does it need another port drilled on the header? Thanks
