FilS004 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi, I have installed an AFR meter now. First question, I connected the sensor for it on to the ox1 connection on the ECU, (white cable in position 48) so is that correct? and Second question, how is it supposed to react? Cheers again ..

Swampy442 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 And do you have a wideband sensor fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 What type of AFR gauge is it? Normally you need to put a wideband sensor in the 2nd Decat pipe. I may be wrong but I thought the std sensor is narrowband? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilS004 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 I think that it is a narrow band meter. It does not specify on the page that I bought the meter from, but I have found similar meters and they are narrow band. Is this a problem, or do they just react differently?

TubbyTwo Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Narrowband meters arent really worth it, something like an AEM AFR guage with wideband sensor is the way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilS004 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Thats a bu**er, becuse the meter I bought is very nice looking and goes well my car. Do I need to add anything other than the meter, do I plug it into the ox1 as the previous meter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Chris Wilson is the guy to talk to, you want a decent Bosch wideband sensor and a decent gauge like AEM: http://www.aemelectronics.com/wideband-air-fuel-systems-15/digital-wideband-air-fuel-gauge-25/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) A narrow band lambda gauge is a complete waste of time, all it will do is indicate rich or weak, you will have no idea of the extremes, if you just want pretty lights/gauge then go ahead, but thats all it is. If your interested in what really going on then fit a dedicated wide-band setup. Edited August 20, 2012 by Tricky-Ricky (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilS004 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 ok, thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilS004 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Does a Lambda sensor for wideband, just replace the original Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 at the top of the manifold and just plug in, or do I have to get something special to fit it and rewire it?

sideexitsupra Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 As I said above. Wide and sensor should go into 2nd cat or 2nd Decat pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The wideband sensor is just for the AFR gauge, it doesnt replace any of the stock ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilS004 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Well there is a hole in my straight thro pipe, so I will have to put it in there instead of the temperature probe that I have in there at the moment. Ok, thanks again for the info all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
