Do only self-tuners have widebands? When is the right time to get a wideband? I know the main use is to view A/F ratios, which helps tuning. What other reason is there for me to get one?

Also, I know people recommend Zeitronix. What makes them better than AEM or Innovate XD-16 & LC1 Wideband?

Besides getting a O2 sensor bung on the downpipe, is there anything else I would need to modify for the installation? Is there any wire splicing needed for the ECU?

 

I know the AEM comes plug and play. We didn't really need to conduct any major surgery besides drilling thru the firewall.

 

AEM plug and play best part

 

what did you use yours for? do you self-tune?

 

I have an innovate lm-1 and love it. I had a aem box type and it was great to use with my aem main engine box but the sensor you can only get through aem and was kinda expensive. I know the aem gauge do not show below 11.1 afp unles they changed it recently.

 

so AEM is easy to install.
can anyone comment on Zeitronix? i heard they were easy too and is the best. i just want to know why i would choose one brand over another. i think AEM is the cheapest too, which is good.

 

I don't self tune, but I always go to shops that will let me get some hands on so I can visually see whats happening and better understand my car. The AEM does not show below 11, but they aren't too expensive. I believe mine was about 250 shipped. But there are cheaper ones out there

 

AEM is nice
its always good to be able to monitor your A/F ratio
id recommend it

for the AEM, all you need to do is wire in a power and a ground, run the sensor to the DP and your done. you dont need to drill any holes in the firewall theres a few spots you can use

 

I bought my wideband when I got my cams....Anytime you have mods and a tune its good to have one cuz you can see if your running lean or rich @ WOT

and they look really cool.

 

AEM does show below 11
it wont show below 10.0, but at that point why do you even care if you A/F is lower then that. if it even hits 10.0 you know something is not right

 

that's very useful info. thank you.

i assume this means you cannot log data, unlike Zeitronix

 

you can log data,
theres 2 other wires that you use to log data

i dont log often, so i never bothered with it

 

sound likes AEM is a good deal

 

I think you wrong about the 11 cuz i've seen mine pull a 10.9

 

he is wrong, the gauge goes to 10.0
i know this for a fact
