lambda = AFR(for gasoline)/14.7

eg 11.5 afr=11.5/14.7=0.782 lambda

same diff

 

+1 on the harness. Do not use the bite type connectors. They tend to vibrate lose. I used one to tap into the stock map sensor wire to get a 5 volt signal to my 3 bar MAP sensor and a few weeks later it shook itself loose and the MAP sensor stopped working. I had to weld the wire in to get a consistent and permanent solution.

 

I have installed 68 Zeitronix widebands using bite type connectors and never had any problems. If installed by a competant installer using quality connectors and the proper tools, it should never come loose.

 

solder + shrink tubing!

 

That is what I ended up doing. I was warned about the bite type connectors by some posters on Evom, but I did not listen. Turned out they were right, these connectors tend lose connection with time.

 

Solder and shrink tubing means you are required to CUT the wires. If you ever add other devices to the wire it makes a hell of a mess.

 

Negative Ghost Rider. If you use a set of these >
All you do is peel back the insulation, tie your wire around it solder and protect with split heat shrink tubing, so you dont REALLY have to cut.

 

I don't know what that thing is or why you would need it, but find me some split shrink tubing cause shrink tubing works because it is not split.

 

We use it on air planes all the time. it has tabs that wrap around, then you apply heat.

That thing is a set of "wire strippers" that you can use to split the cover off a wire without cutting it. It makes a "space" of just conductor material.

 

Where can you find this stuff, I have been searching for 15 minutes now. Grab a handful and send it down

 

I looked also last night. Proprietary U.S. Navy ****, probably.

 

In my VIII, I hooked it up with Tap-in connector. On my IX, I got the boomslang harness, much cleaner, much easier.

 

Especially with TTP's mad soldering skills.

For the average Joe, either way will work.

 

I had the zeitronix and loved it, Only thing I would wish they would change is make it usb based. I know they have the serial adapter and all but, Im a mac guy and never had luck with those things. USB is also what most computers come with. I saw that plx has done it. when zeitronix does ill buy another unit from the same kick *** vendor,TTP.

 

The problem with that is for those that wanted a cheap datalogging only laptop, you typically would not find USB available on a cheap unit.
