osso Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Who here has got the wide-band O2 sensor? How much are they? Who makes wide-band O2 sensors? Does the wide-band O2 sensor replace the stock 02 Sensor? Finally, who can supply wide-band O2 sensors? I want one, nuff said! Cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyefi Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 techedge v2 wbo2, uses a bosch sensor (cadilac part), checked against thor dyno - perfect. i havnt replaced stock o2 but it would. wbo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I have one. My set up was in the region of £1500, but there are much cheaper ones. They are great for tuning, and yes I have replaced the stock o2 sensor but I have a different ECU. The difference in o2 kits by the way seems to be speed. The cheaper ones react slower, but are fine for 90% of purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I've got the AEM wideband, works really well and looks like an excellent bit of kit. It doesn't have a display (yet) though, it's designed to work with an aftermarket ECU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 The AEM is well priced and will do the job nicely. Or do you want a WB02 for another gadget in the car? Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 What kind of pricing are we looking at for the Fjo with display on your site Gaz and any idea of the cost for the MoTec PLM ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I have the AEM, well made and a good price There will be a new version coming out soon where the single channel controller will be built into a gauge with radial bar and digital readout of AFR. check http://forum.aempower.com/bbs/index.php for more information.

osso Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 This is certainly worth considering especially for those who are plans to modify completely standard Supras like myself! All i need to do is find out how much this is gonna cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Just thought I would let you guys know that when i installed mine I got the sensor adapter plate which enables you to mount the wideband in the stock location on the downpipe, if you still have cats it puts the sensor before them for true reading. You can get these from Chris Wilson and its easy enough to do by accessing it from the top. Oh yeah the AEM gauge looks very similar to the FJO but is the controller as well.

osso Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 I cant find any information about the AEM gauge, i've seen the AEM forum which mentions that the gauge with the built in controller is currently being developed? has it been released then?

dude Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Dude , dont you think you would be better off with some other mods first , if your wideband says your fuelings out at the mo what can you do about it ??????? Dude:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osso Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 Thats what i intend to do, when my new turbos arrive from Japan, i'll be sorting my supra out with stage one mods and sorting myself out with a few defi gauges from miamirice, just thought it'd be nice to know the AFR while i progress further with mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Agreed but without an AFC or similar how would you alter the mixture . Dude:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osso Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 You cant but personally I just think that the AFR gauge with the wideband 02 sensor would be good to have along with the EGT gauge to give you a better idea whats going on, Afterall the wideband o2 sensor is a better indicator and it will tell you exactly how rich or lean you are running, where as the EGT will only give you an idea of whats going on. Should you wish to alter the AFR then of course you'll need a controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyefi Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 egt probe will only ever tell u how hot the exhaust gasses r, not how rich or lean. wbo2 will only ever tell u the afr. they both give u very different info. both invaluable tuning tools and safety tools, when getting near the edge.

osso Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Its fact that the richer your engine, the cooler your Exhaust gas temperature will be, and as the engine starts to run leaner, exhaust gas temperature will rise.. the EGT gauge can be used as a good indicator for other things as well, but the problem with the EGT sensor, it will not tell you what ratio you are running at. this is why you need a wideband o2 sensor, because the stock o2 sensor is crap The wideband o2 sensor is very useful for those who want to tune and get the most out of your modifications on the supra without going to a dyno. however if you want to tune the supra's ATF ratio you will need an ATF controller.

eyefi Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Originally posted by osso Its fact that the richer your engine, the cooler your Exhaust gas temperature will be its also a fact that the more ignition advance u have the cooler yr exhaust temp. Originally posted by osso as the engine starts to run leaner, exhaust gas temperature will rise ignition retard will also cause hotter exhaust temps. so looking at yr egt gauge, tell me why yr temps r rocketing? Originally posted by osso the EGT gauge can be used as a good indicator for other things as well yes, all it can do is indicate that yr temps r too hot or too cold, it will not tell u why they r too hot or cold, u could guess i suppose.
