False

Accurate enoguh for your ecu, not as good for tuning.

I know they are 5 wire, but are they a true wideband?
I have one or two from Honda's and an extra VDub one laying around.

FJO and Tech Edge are two companies that make wide band O2 kits.

Listen to spade he knows what he's talking about. I know for sure they came on the vx but I never knew they did on the hx. You can tell too because the price on these 02 sensor from honda are more than all the others.

RSZero1 put a Y8 in a HX last weekend. The O2's are 5 wire widebands and throw a code with the EX ECU. He had to resort back to the HX ECU until this weekend.

Both the VX and HX are designed as economy cars. Well, more than any of the other Civics. They have EGR valves and run leaner than regular civics so they need more capable O2 sensors to properly measure the air/fuel ratio.

So can you wire this stock wideband to some display to monitor your a/f ratio ? How would it work with Hondata?

the wideband SENSOR connects to the necessary wideband CONTROLLER, and the output voltage of the CONTROLLER goes to the stock O2 sensor plug on the harness, then you program the hondata as to the voltages the controller puts out for the lambda values, and then you can datalog wideband ratios with hondata, or use the programmer/romulator to run autotune with Hondata.

search for diy wideband o2 sensor on google... you'll thank me OVER AND OVER again...

They make circut boards and part kits you can buy for like 40 bucks and solder together yourself then all you need is a wideband o2 sensor (yes the honda will work as well as a couple others)

How accurate are they?.... they give a TRUE a/f ratio... most good shops use a wideband o2 in conjunction with their dyno in order to PROPERLY tune the engine.

the voltage output is variable and it give a VERY accurate reading assuming it's functioning in new condition.
