Header Question -Tune?
I have an exhaust leak on the Manifold/Header
If I put an aftermarket Header on, do I need a Tune or will it bolt right on, no tune needed - Will it code? Also curious if I do a High Flow Cat and Muffler at the same time will I need a Tune? Will it code the 02 sensors Tks Will |
You don't need a tune for anything. What year is your jeep

I thought these were sd motors?
changing anything regarding intake or exhaust will alter the afr. I'd think ESP something like a manifold to header swap. I know it leaned my ls1 car WAY out doing such. and that was with a maf... sd motors are like carbs in a big way. I'm pretty sure the o2s can only change fueling like +\- 3% or whatever. |

That why I asked - I do LSx parts for a living and know they need a
tune after headers... Will looking into swapping my jeep. I just sold my 99 ws6 2 weeks ago. |

then you already know the answer. these are sd motors. best you could do is verify with a wideband. are you a vendor on tech? I don't do lsex parts for a living but I've owned multiple lsx powered cars and dealt with them about 10 years now. love em.
looking into swapping my jeep. I just sold my 99 ws6 2 weeks ago. I can do a Corvette half asleep, but I don't know squat about these Jeep straight 6's Will |

Yeah... Just bolt it on up...

You only need to tune the 4.0 if you do a stroker or super/turbocharge it... Intakes and exhausts are called "bolt on" for a reason

they are called "bolt ons" because they literally bolt on. not because of how they affect the engine. I'd like to see someone verify with a wideband what actually happens when doing mods like this, just to see. as stated earlier, putting bolt ons on my ls1 car took it from a solid 12.8 afr @ wot to 14.7 at only 2800 rpm. bolt ons or not that is not safe or right. the lean condition also caused 8* spark knock. also all below 3k rpm.
As stated by Salad, the only time you need to increase injector size is when using forced induction or stroking it to 4.6 + liters. |
