Default Air/fuel ratio guageinstall

I have searched and all I could find was civic or integra install... I have a 92 si and the o2 sensor has four wires, two black, one green, and one white. I think the white wire is the right one for the air/fuel guage and just want to make sure. Does anybody know which wire it is? thanks-

Is he a ricer for the light show, or would he just be a stupid ricer to spend an extra $200 that he can't do anything with? Even if he was tuning AFRs move too fast for you to do anything with a gauge.

Yea, you are a ricer for a light show! knowing it was a light show, which now he does.
Cant do anything with????? wtf! you dont just have widebands for tuning, I run em period, to monitor. I know whats happening all the time because of said wasted 200$. move too fast? what are you talking about?

get a watch when you want to know what time it is, dont look at the sun.

everyone all pissy this morning or what?

Dude by the time your engine goes lean (if you have your eye on the gauge the entire time) the ECU will pick it up if its reading the O2, or you'll start detonating before you see you're running lean. Trust me, I know all about tuning, but you don't look at the gauge for tuning. You datalog and go off of that. Show me a tuner that tunes off an A/F gauge. When I ride with my tuner he has the gauge and he tells me to stare at it and let him know if it moves at all, but other than that and maybe tuning idle A/FRs, doing a pull you won't be looking at the gauge, nor if anything goes haywire on the gauge will you catch it as fast you're moving through the RPM range.

I'm not saying they're entirely useless, but there is a reason innovate sells packages without the gauge. But I'm also going to go out on a limb here and guess that the OP is on a stock engine to where even if he knew the A/FRs he couldn't do anything with them anyways. Let him have his light show, he doesn't need to waste the money on the wideband.

I'm Guilty though back in the day......but when you drive a ~300whp Prelude its OK!

You are allowed "1" Ricer mod for every 250whp. :D I swapped my narrow a/f gauge for a ZEX purge light! Much cooler!

Ok, yea, on a stock motor sure. "move too fast", your thinking of a narrow band, like stock. its only fast because it has only one volt to work with. When you have your wideband you can def see whats happening as its happengin. most common purpose is for datalog sure, but many use then for "all the time monitoring". I will always have my 5v display. even when my motor is stock, because it would at least have a stashed 10lb bottle of n2o somewhere in the trunk, and with that being said you can see when you just melted a plug or somthings not right, and have the time to shut down. I hope you are following what im trying to say.

it depends on which gauge he has. i run AC gauges, so i dont have the whole light show BS. its just a needle reading. reguardless, its nice to have somewhat of an idea on your AF... i cant watch a wideband the entire time, so its about the same.

lol people are funny... thanks for the advice... of course I read into the A/F guages and about how we should go wideband... but I am really close on money and don't feel like getting an expensive a/f guage or what not... I bought a greddy kit from somebody and it came W/ boost, a/f, and oil pressure guages... I didnt want to just take one out and leave a huge hole... (yea I know I could just buy a two guage pod or whatever for cheap) but I have other things on my mind...So I just decided to hook it up...
