Default O2 AND WB placement question (56k warn - large pic)

Ok, so I am theorizing about my O2 sensor placement. I would like to mount both of my sensors (primary and WB) on the left side of the picture below (#1), just below the turbine housing. This location would hide the sensors but effectivly make removing them almost impossible without jacking up the car. I can put my WB at location #2 and put the primary below the turbine housing. Due to clearance issues, these are about the only locations that I can put these sensors. What is the general consensous on this.

...SERVER CRASH...

And yes that is a Whitey bend. It really doesn't look that bad in the flesh. The whole razmataz is going to be painted flat black with a ceramic paint I got from a buddy who owns a body shop. It holds up great to heat. It is also going to ba partially wrapped with heat wrap so I don't melt all of the other components around the DP.

On a side note, I am trying to gauge interest in the Garret T3 3-bolt flange in the upper left of the picture and the 3-bolt flange that bolts to the stock honda 3-bolt on stock exhausts in the lower right. I have recently purchased a laser table and played around with these flanges. I can burn large quantities at once so the price is going to be pretty low. Let me know if there is any interest. I know there are a lot of people making these flanges so I don't want to staturate the market any more, but if the demand is there for a lower price, I can do it.

Gracias,
Nick

My personal opinion on where WB o2 sensors or any o2' sit at, they should be easy to get to. But if you want to hide them, I think your locations will be fine. I dont run a WB in the car all the time, only when tuning the car.

Cool. I am not really looking to hide them, It is just that there is room there. On the opposite side, I have to contend with the stock rad fan and its ginormous shroud. I am not going to run the WB in the car all of the time, but I am going to install a bung with a plug.

Thanks for the advise,

Nick

a'men... i wish more people would think like that. it dosn't make any sense having to jack up and crawl underneith to get at a o2.
