i saw these online and they look pretty reasonable for an A/F gauge

i was thinking of getting one of those wideband meters and an apexi NEO a/f controller, you guys think i could tune some more ponies outta my motor with these two items, both would run me just about $500, i currently have no tune and my mods are listed below, i am always finding black soot on my rear bumper (rich) so i figure if i were to tune the a/f just right then i could yield some power

what are your thoughts?

 

anyone? please

 

whats the milege on ur car, also might be burning oil, o2 sensor, cat

 

What does your set-up consist of? The apexi neo isn't the best option you have available to you....

 

its got 120,000 but they have been pretty easy miles (previous owner was in his 60's) and i lose absolutely no oil between changes, i can tell its fuel carbon, prob just running rich, and there is no cat anymore just a test pipe, but im obd-1 so the computer dont care

 

what do you suggest i do for computer/tuning ? i have heard of these products too but have no experience with them

hondata
nuptune
JET

 

My neighbor had one in his Cobra. Compared to my LM-1 (with custom remote display), the NGK was slow and less accurate. I wasn't impressed with it.

 

I recall seeing a review of consumer widebands awhile back, and I don't think the NGK one did very well. I think they liked Innovate the most.

carbon could just be cuz you removed the cat. also... a piggyback is not a great tool. It seems like your goal is essentially to make the car run leaner - to generate more power? might be dangerous for your engine with the FC. If you are already obd1 - you are much better off getting hondata.

 

what type of hondata are you using? 100 200... and if so what type of functions are controllable with hondata?

 

i'm not using it yet - getting ready to buy s300 though...
