what do you think,has its own o2 sensor,could this be a cheaper way around the wideband since its using its own o2 sensor?

what are the disadvantages to using something like this compared to a wideband?

 

hmm cheap too anyone with any coments on this?

 

"displays air/fuel ratio from approximately 12 up to 15:1....."


when you're tuning a car, approximations are a good way to make it go boom.

 

It is still a ordinary bosch O2 the range is limited...

 

Garbage!

 

Everything. A standard 02 sensor has no real capability to tell you what the a/f ratio is outside of 14.7:1, it can only express rich or lean. A wideband and proper sensing unit cost ~$1500 because it can accurately express any functional a/f ratio you could run on the engine. Unless you just need the wideband sensor itself, this is one of the best portable units.

Don't be a bonehead. These are awesome.

for the techedge ones all you need is the sensor and the readout and your set??? thats only like 250$??? is that all...........

 

you need the display and the unit too. it costs about 29x for the display and the wideband and you still need the o2. but for a kickass wideband setup that is a deal. i still need to solder mine together.

 

Amen, I got my techedge kit hooked up (finding a sensor was a BITCH) but I love it and have no quams, its even more accurate then the wideband I tuned with on the dyno (reason being their wideband was in my tailpipie... my wideband is before the cat).

 

Sensors are listed on their web page (somewhere). I got mine from NAPA.

The thing totally rock, esp with Hondata.

I got mine from napa too, but thepartsbin is the cheapest... if only they had it in stock... you have to call and check every once in a while... and i wouldn't trust the summit one
