Default Greddy A/F gauge: Anyone use this?

I'm wondering if anyone has this gauge and how accurate is it. Is it any better than running Autometer A/F?

same here. althogh i doubt they are any more accurate because they dont' use a wideband o2 for the sensor

no they are not a light show it is a digital meter with analog display and give a pretty accurate reading, i just sold one that was brand new- runs about 340 retail and about 275 online, it comes with its own 4 wire O2, which greddy claims has been claibrated very closely to a five wire WB.

pretty acurate from what ive seen in tuning. i have a friend with one in his car and it follows closely to the WB-- although it lags a bit behind since it takes longer to get the needle to move.

its only accurate during WOT. also to make it as close as possible to a 5 wire WB, u have to sit there and calibrate it side by side with another WB because its not tuned/calibrated right out the box.

when it jumps back and forth, its still accurate.. it shows the cycle and whatever is going on with the car.. i should say relatively accurate

you can't tell how rich your setup is running with narrowband, whether its a lightshow or digital

NARROWband means there is a very small range in the A/F spectrum where the O2 sensor is remotely accurate. As soon as you stray slightly away from 14.7 A/F...you can kiss knowing what A/F you are actually running.

A 13.5 A/F would be the same as 10.0 and even more dangerous a 15.5 would appear the same as 20.0 A/F

Some gauges have better electronics, better components and a more appealing design thus the cost difference. Doesnt make the sensor anymore or less accurate tho.

It was really just for reference. My plans are to use the AEM wideband with my Hondata s200. So really, my question is can I use the Greddy as a display for the AEM wideband....I won't have my laptop permanently fixed to the passenger seat and I would like to be able to reference my a/f frequently.

$275, for another $75 you can get a wideband.....which is much better.

you'll probably have to re-calibrate it.

i dont think the plugs will match up --greddy wont know how to read the extra wire-- or it wont ground properly... dont know

You can hook it up if the AEM has a separate analog out signal that can go to your ECU or your guage.

Just do the Techedge DIY kit! Serioulsy, just get a wideband...its worth it....especially when you get one with the readout so you can monitor your A/F ratios all the time!
