I am building a turbo b18c and I will be street tuning it using Crome and WB 02. Do you have to also have egt gauge to tune properly?

ummm....yes you need a EGT gauge to properly tune a turbo honda engine.....or any turbo engine for that matter.

 

I disagree as well, you do not need an EGT gauge. Who tunes solely off EGT?

 

Fuel tuning is best left to a wideband O2 since many factors affected EGT reading other than just AFR. However, I use the EGT to help dial in the ignition timing after we've tuned out the AFRs. I've tuned many turbo cars without an EGT but alway with a wideband (naturally since we make them ). If EGT information is present all the better.

whats up with all this black and white bs?

It's simple, you don't NEED an egt gauge to properly tune, but it's good to have one!
It can tell you alot.
You don't want overly high egt's, could mean ur ignition timing needs more tuning.

i didnt have one when I got tuned,
but next tune session i'm definetely going to have one

 

Do you need a EGT sensor to tune... no you don't.

Should you have an EGT sensor to tune yes! Like Tad said... it is a great help when you are adjusting the ignition timing.
