As above,
Just looking for peoples experiance on how you's think bits of a lambda sencer would end up breaking up the turbine on a new turbo??
The car has had a full build with new everything very recently!
Thanks
Dan

 

If it ran really weak the sensor could have melted, or some mechanical damage occurred whilst being built ?

 

sensor was pre-up pipe then surly?

 

Indeed,
Bits of it ended up destroying the turbine wheel!

post cat lamba sensor????

 

was i a new sensor i had the very same thing happen to mine 2 years ago but mine was the factory sensor and had done 55k had to have new turbo and sensor but i put mine in the down pipe after and blanked off the pre turbo hole this way if it ever happens again it goes out the back in 12 years of being in the motor trade i have only ever seen this 3 times but i do hate pre turbo sensors

 

my lambda blew of too, thankfully got lodged in the housing and only slightly damaged the compressor wheel, still needed a turbo rebuild tho..

i put it down to the pops and bangs that were recently mapped onto the car, so got them mapped back off after rebuild.

think wear and tear comes into it too as they are exposed to extreme heat.

 

Thanks,
It was the origonal lambda senser in brand new headers that did the damage!
Moving it to after the turbo is defo a future mod!
Car has 25K miles on her, (she's 2006)
Turbo was only new enough also
Thanks again!
Dan

 

Howdy,
A bit of an addition to the above info,
Check engine light was on when the car arrived up to Elvington to me the morning of Scooby Sprint!
We plugged her in to a diagnostic computer, and it said that the lambda sensor had failed,
So I was told that it was safe to drive her on the handling course, because she would just run rich, which was safe, just slower than it should be!

Do you's agree with the above??
Would running rich melt the Lambda??
Should it have been moved to the down pipe as part of the 450bhp build??
Thanx lads!
Dan
