When I'm normally driving its bouncing all over the place, but then at WOT it stays fairly stoitch. How about everyone elses?

I take it that you're using your stock o2 sensor. It really isn't very accurate.

Everyone's gauge that is hooked to the stock narrowband sensor will bounce around a lot, if you want to really find out what your a/f ratio is like, go to a dyno or use a wideband sensor/controller on the street to see what your ratio is.

Ya just using a stock O2 and a regular A/F gauge...Dyno one day soon..

If you want the ability to see what your ratio really is on the street, you can get a portable wideband, like AEM's UEGO gauge combo, or Innovate Motorsport's LM-1 unit. I have the LM-1 unit in my car, and it's great. Datalogging and extremely accurate, and you can download the logs to a computer to see your a/f ratio vs RPM and load.

Both of those units are around $400, but if you're going to have a turbo and do any of the tuning yourself, you'll need one or the other.

Those gauges are absolute crap and even mess up the O2 sensor over time. You need a wideband to measure a/f at wot. Some places sell modded gauges or digital.

So....i wont have a problem if i use one of the modded gauges??

i want AEM UEGO but so expensive, eh, i dont know maybe on day

Get a PLX devices wideband. Mine cost $370 for their top model with an adaptor for my autometer gauge. I run around 10.5-11 A/F and it stays rock solid.

the AEM wideband is the same price i believe..or 450.

why even waste your time and money?

well dont know what kinda time ill be wasting but the money isnt a thing either

buying a tuning tool that can be used on any car is not really a waste of time or money. I just ordered the innovate wide band, datalogging is the shiz.
PLX makes a good one also.

i meant why waste your time on the cheap autometer ones, its completely useless

Wideband is the only way to go

aight well you didnt say that at first...but tru...i would rather spend the money and get a good wideband and have the car run better

so you autometer doesn't bounce around anymore? where did you get yours from hondatech?

 
Rep Power: 327

so u need an a/f gauge and a wideband to tune it to find ur real a/f ratio? making sure im following this.

 
Rep Power: 312

Nope....

The PLX devices wideband has an interface module which will convert the signal to narrowband. I hooked the narrowband signal up to the autometer gauge. It works like its supposed to now. I like using it because its a idiot light - its saved my butt a few times now (like when I'm boosting, but my A/F doesn't kick up fast enough) - I wouldn't drive a turboed car without one, wideband that is.

Are you guys saying that the modified autometer gauges dont work?

If you modify it and use a wideband 02 sensor it will work.
