Just wondering if anyone has tried this, but is it possible to pickup a wideband o2 and convert the output directly to 5v analog without going through a gauge such as the lc-1/uego?

I really only use the wideband for logging and don't care about the gauge as much (they don't match the defi nicely), though if it's not possible I could just hide it in the glove compartment.

 

Yes.

The LC-1 does this, you don't need a gauge at all.

AEM also has a "AEM Inline Wideband UEGO Controller", which is the gaugeless-version of the UEGO.

AEM Inline Wideband UEGO Controller $180
part number aem30-2310

 

Nice, thanks! Downside is it's almost the same price as the gauge

 

there are 3 parts to the wideband:

1) The wideband sensor, ie Bosch LSU4.2 etc
2) The wideband controller, ie LC1, ZT2, AEM etc
3) The gauge

You NEED 1+2

 

PLX can too. Just get an SM AFR and it can output the signal. NO gauge needed.

 

yeah but I think his question was more about the controller than the gauge

 

PLX SM-AFR = O2 + controller. You can add gauge but not necessary

 

Still, the idea was to save a couple bucks which doesn't seem possible. Guess I'll just spend the extra $10 more and hide the gauge somewhere.

 

which kit are looking at...

the LC1 is the cheapest and to add a guage its more $$$'s...

most kits would be the same...

 

you don't have to install the gauge at all.
