Looks like it would work good? Lets hear your opinions.

Also, has anyone done this?

I know this is a remedial question, but what's the difference between this and a 300.00 wide band setup?

std gauge 0-1v and displays rich for n/a cars, but not f/i. rich for f/i will be 11 or 12 afr while n/a cars 13-14 is rich.

wb is 0-5v which will allow you to read all the way down to 10 or below in your a/f.

a std gauge can read rich, but may still be really lean while turbo'd.

hope that helps.

They are as accurate as one you would buy. They all do the same damn thing. As long as you put it together correctly. Its as good as what you can buy. And can't be the experience and learning involved in putting these thigns together. I did this on my Rx7, with a volt meter and a One-wire O2 sensor. It was interesting.
