hey hey kids, had a few questions for you all. i was reading an article today about a/f tuning, and the article mentioned that a wideband o2 sensor was the best because of its higher voltage (0-5). so here goes:

is this statement true?
can effective tuning be done with an o2 sensor that isn't wideband?
is there a wideband 02 sensor for our rides?

any info would rock. thanks in advance!

 

yeah i am in the middle of installing my safc 2 and had the similar question? anybody?

 

theres a bunch of different widebands available. and most if not all are universal. uego, fjo, and innovative are just a few out there

 

i just came across the innovate wideband kit - seems like everything you need to get started with tuning

 

answered in bold above.

 

^ awesome - thanks for the info!

 

so which of the o2 sensors would the wideband replace?

 

None, a new o2 bung would need to be welded in

 

Replace an existing O2 and you're asking for trouble. Screwing with closed loop if you replace an upstream, CELs if you replace a downstream.

Preferably before the cat, otherwise you'll be reading leaner than you're actually running.

Here's an example of our pre-cat bung: http://pics.livejournal.com/boredmder/pic/000cr79f/g21
And post cat bungs: http://pics.livejournal.com/boredmder/pic/000a5375/g21

 

theres a sticky in the All Motor section on WBO2 and also about dyno tuning. read up.

 

oops - scrolled right past it last night!
