Re: Wideband Sensors Explained

Sorry, with tuning, its way too broad a topic to try and explain in a post. There are manuals that are very long and don't cover it all.

A wideband sensor, unlike a narrowband sensor, uses a larger voltage scale to read your air/fuel ratio (AFR).

Re: Wideband Sensors Explained

Quote:
What does it take to put in a wideband?
Installation varies on model, but typically, you connect a positive 12V ignition source for power and a ground. There are two outputs, one for a wideband signal, another for a narrowband signal. These connect to the ecu or piggyback computer that you're using for datalogging, monitoring, etc.
Does this mean UEGO w/b sensor can work simultaniously as a w/b and n/b?

Stock ECU, yes. This is why they have narrowband outputs. You replace your signal wire at the ecu and run the wideband in place of the stock narrowband with resistors and wire the narrowband signal wire back into the ecu while maintaining a display and using the wideband output for datalogging, etc.

Doeas this mean you can substitute n/b o2 sensor with w/b one and have it for w/b and n/b duties?

Some of the gauges can be substituted for NB O2 sensors. Each manufacturer is different and if I recall, PLX can.

Correct, PLX widebands do have narrowband and wideband outputs, as I believe Innovate does, as well. Not sure about AEM.
