I wideband is a lot more accurate. To be able to tell the diffrerence? If you haven't bought a wideband O2 sensor, then you don't have one!!! There's no mistaking the price tag associated with a WB. If you still have a stock O2 sensor, you have a narrow band period. If you want a A/F guage that actually works, fork out the 3-400 bucks for a wideband O2 sensor. It helps alot with tuning and is a must for pushing the envelope. Run too lean and *bang*bang*bang*CLUNK!*... But that's just my opinion, some people might just *CLUNK!* lol

 

Can some one give me the 101 on wideband o2 sensors! can i put a wide band 02 sensor on any kind for a/f gauge? do they look diff? is there mre advantages besides they are more accurate?

I am getting 3 gauges and it says to hook it up to the ignition wire can i hook all 3 wires to the igniton wire? or will the gauges take all the power?

sorry for asking so many questions but i dont know any thing about gauges.

 

By ignition switch, they mean "ignition on" switch. You don't want to crack your steering column to hook up these guages! You should be able to get a fuse tap and wire it into your fuse box. As far as I know, a WB O2 sensor should work with just about any A/F guage out there. Your best bet might be to buy a "kit" that has the wideband sensor and guage packaged together. They run about 450 from summit. You might find it cheaper somewhere else like ebay. I hope this helps.

 

A boost gauge on an NA car? WHY? A vacuum gauge would work but once again, what's the point of knowing what vacuum the engine is pulling?

 

most wideband sensors come with a controller, which show the a/f

you dont' need to buy any aftermarket a/f gauge for that

i have a air fuel raito gauge and it says to connect the wire to the o2 sensor. which sensor do i connect it to?? the first or second one??? do i splie into the blue wire ???

First one. I'm pretty sure you want the white wire, #108 as shown in the diagram in this thread.

 

i had looked at the wireing diagram and i thought it would be the white wire too but widebody said it is the blue wire. i am confused. does any one that did this know which wire to spilce into for the a/f?

 

i tried it out anyways and it worked. i am about 60% done my gauges all i need to do is wait for the next oil change and put my senders in.

 

So was it pin #108?

-joe

 

yes it was 108

 

So does it matter which fuse I hook up the tap to? (I guess I could just tap some and take some volt readings). I am now running it off of AC power, (radio).

I got my oil pressure sender hooked up yesterday. I am getting about 20 psi @ idle and 90 psi @ 3500 rpm. On cold starts it reads about 65 psi. Does that sound right, what are you guys getting? Oh, I have the oil presure sender on a remote mounted oil filter.

 

i get about 100psi on cold idel and more like 80psi warm up on full throttle

When I hard-wired my radar detector, I just found an open spot in the fusebox that gets power when the key is turned on. I put a spade connector on the end of the wire, plugged it into the place where the fuse would go in the box, and used an inline fuse on my power wire. No tapping into anything else's power. I did the same when I installed gauges in my Eclipse.
