Which wideband o2 sensor should I get?

ok, I guess I should probably log my AFR now that i seem to have some decent mods. I was thinking of cams but this is probably more important. The car pulls like crazy but I was at the track saturday and only trapped 105.5 mph? I was like WTF!!! I was onlyl able to get one run in, it was brutal, sat in line for 3hrs!!! Anyways, Which o2 sensor should I get? Im looking for an economical sensor, wish I could use one that would work with the UTEC but I think that one is 600$+ so I guess 2 question. Which o2 would you REC, and why the hell did I only trap 105.5? (93 0ctane) I got lockout in 2nd (stock clutch) but rest of run was clean. I have a boost lead but hold about 1.3-1.4 bar. Does this have anything to do with it? thanks in advance!
P.S. I am running turboXS website tune off their website for TBE.

Ryan right? This is Justin, I was in the white EVO last night.....

I could guarantee that its a matter of two things,
1) You are running a basemap on the UTEC, which is overly safe and actually hurts power if not custom tuned to the application.
2) The fact that you are untuned is exacerbated because the open element air filter changes the way the MAF reads.


Just curious which intake you are running?

Also a boost leak will hurt performance although it won't be as noticable as what I mentioned above. This is because to reach the same amount of boost, the compressor has to work that much harder to compensate for the air that is leaking and since it is working harder it leads to higher intake temps which kills power and leads to detonation/ pre-ignition. This is also not to mention that the air is already metered by the MAF and then is lost in the charge pipes somewhere causing a richer than desired condition.

I would look into the PLX sensors, or the new Innovative LC-1. The AEM EUGO is good, but can't read any richer than 11:1 AFR....


Yesterday sucked for me also, I only got one run in against a slick'd 03 Cobra, got nervous and bogged the launch hard....

If you have any more Q's feel free to hit me up on PM, I'm pretty good with cars and probably will be able to help you with your troubles...

Later

Here's my input. get the LC-1/XD-1 Innovate WB02 this is what Im using right now and works perfectly, plus if you use the MPS software you can have it datalog just like the UTEC. Boltz has it wrong the AEM reads down in the 9's somewhere but the gauge only goes to 11:1.

BTW- will you be going on the MOD cruise? AMS the night before? If you go try and find me and i can show you how it works.
