Is there anyone using a volt meter running off their 02 sensor for egt readings?

I know you can do this as a cheap and quick alternative to egt gauges?

I think the ideal volt reading for the sensor is 0.9 0.7.

Does anyone have anything to add to this?

 

do u mean EGT or A/F?

 

i know of no way to get egt's from a O2 sensor

 

He means a/f. High voltage rich, low lean.

 

Yeah thats what I mean.

you got it.

high voltage means rich, low mean lean.

cheap and quick way to check out the a/f if you don't have an egt gauge hey.

 

well, that's all an a/f meter is, it's a bargraph display of voltage. I have a bargraph and a three digit numerical display (just for the hell of it and to double check the bargraph) you can just wire up a digital voltmeter and it's just as good.

 

hey vapor,where r u located,im in lakeland,i need some serious dyno time,new turbo set up and not much tuning so far,i visited you at spec r a long long long time ago,how far are you from there.later.

 

all the guys on here say an a/f ratio gauge using your stock o2 sensor is a waste of money. it is not acurate at all.

 

a/f gauge is a bit of a waste...
and why not just buy an a/f gauge instead of the volt meter?

 

electrical engineers like to pimp it labratory style with a Fluke meter wedged between the dash and windshield.

its tiiiiiite y0!

 

Damn, i thought i was the only one...

 

Using the stock oxygen sensor to get readings off of is pretty much useless. The stock oxygen sensors are only calibrated to ready air/fuel ratios near 14.7:1, which is the primary air/fuel target range in the closed loop operation of the ecu. Your readings will always be off considerable. If you are looking for something cheap/semi-accurate go with the greddy air/fuel unit with its own oxygen sensor. That oxygen sensor is at least calibrated to operate in a broader air/fuel band, giving much more accurate readings. If you want to tell if your rich, pull the plugs...cheap, easy, accurate and effective.
