I found this on the supra board. http://www.techedge.com.au/vehicle/wbo2/default.htm

 

id think a few sessions on the dyno with a wide band
would be far less that the DIY model
at the low cost of $600US...

pretty neat though..!!

 

Well, it's pretty cheap cause those are australian dollars... I may have to try this

Dustin

 

Ok, I ordered the PCB, parts kit, and the display meter.

I think Crescent Kao built this kit too.. I hope it'll work with the wideband option in hondata.

Dustin

 

my bad i saw the link:

priced at US$600 in the US

and thought it was the unit cost
instead its the price of Motec's NTK sensor

 

ALREADY....????? WTF..??!!?!

damn Dustin what do u do for a living..??
u inherit some money or something..??
i see u buying a sh/t load of stuff...lol

let know how it works..!!

It's like $70 USD, and I was looking at it a couple weeks ago Don't have the $$ right now to get the sensor, but I'll have enough fun trying to assemble it with my sub-par electronics skills (or lack thereof).. since it's a DIY kit.

Dustin

 

yeah that is pretty cheap for a wide band o2

 

lol i hear ya...

 

geez i wonder if a one eyed shoe salesman could put this kit
together...

Time to amass some electronics skills

 

umm, didnt u read the disclosure info..read above..!!!

how hard could it be to weld in those circuits, my
kit brother biult a mini cicruit for school(which he had to test),
so why the heck couldn't competent adult not be able to do it...?!?!?!

 

It looks easy, I've soldered harder PCBs before.

 

eheh Im in Australia... and was thinking of gettin the motec PLM... bc out here we sell them for 1200Aust which is like 600$us or so.
But even this DIY-WB seems cheep.. might have to invest in it...
dustin let us know how ya proejct goes... also i belive if you can install a hondata ya self.. you can easly make this DIY-WB .

Regards James

 

I just ordered the kit last week and I already got the sensor from partsbin for 119 bucks. Its the same sensor the motec plm uses.

sorry to jump off the subject about the wide band o2 sensor. Justin how do you like your thermal exhaust and do you have a 3" downpipe? how far are you from Pittsburgh,Pa just curious cause i would like to meet up with some people to check out there rides. hope to have my turbo charged si on the road in 2 months. After spending $12,000 on a built motor and rebuilt turbo it's that time to start enjoying my car once again.

 

Fark 119$ for the Sensor thats ultra CHEEEP !!!
hummm u gota let us know how ya went with it.. and also im guessing if its the same sensor as the motec plm it will plug stright uptp the hondata correct ???

 

um... the hondata doesn't actually READ the wideband O2 sensor, does it? I was under the impression hondata just SELLS the PLM as an accessory for tuning. I've been wrong before though.


Electronics skills? Hell, if you've chipped a PS2 you should be able to manage this, right?

 

i like my thermal. Took getting used to.
i'm in sayre about 3hrs from pittsburg.
i may be in stroudsburg getting dynoed soon

Hondata can use a wideband O2 sensor and will show you how far you are over your target lambda in a run ... it also has an 'autotune' mode that changes fuel output according to lambda...

Dustin

 

um,
the hondata can log the wideband. you just connect the output of the wideband unit and run it into your signal input on your O2 sensor harness back to the ecu. you can program the hondalogger for various sensors. It comes preloaded with tables for the PLM motec. you can enter the table for the diy unit since you can dowload the graph from that site. DUDES, for the money, its worth it. I searched the diy board listserve and it seems like a great sensor/control unit. Obviously, I bought one.
