Default Use regular A/F ratio gauge with zeitronix?

Can I use a regular A/F ratio autometer gauge with zeitronix wideband? I know I can use a converter from PLX but PLX say it only works with PLX wideband.

But if a PLX wideband gives out 0-5v, and zeitronix is also 0-5v. I see this converter as a regular voltage drop resistor, isn't it?

opinions?

There is something different about the Zeitronix voltage though. Something about it being non-linear while all others are linear (or something). Talk to bigwig on the uberforums or on here about it. He did some work getting the zt2 to work with the uberdata datlogging so he might know something about that.

its way to big. I thought it was the size of ap ack of cigarettes, nope. that was the controller itself. WHO THE **** cares about the size of the god damn conttroller, the lcd screen is a tank. and ugly.

but i rock it, right on the steering column...

Yeh, I got the display also. Display in my opinion is a great option. 4 different readings on one display so there is no need to have 50,000 gauges in your car. Plus without all those gauges you'll look even more stealthy!!!!

My intention is to use my existing Autometer gauge. Not only I don't have the money to but the LCD, but I prefer analog display. It's hard to detect you're running lean in the blink of an eye if it's a digital number rambling around.

Any input on whether the converter will work or not?
