Wide band 02


Recommended Posts

Yup you need a decent WB set up if you want to tune correctly.

 

Anything else is just a light show.. :)

 

You would be shocked to see the difference my WB unit sees the A/F ratio vs a narrow band.

 

It's that much of a difference, trust me. :)

I use that WB Meter they are selling. You don't have to purchase that from EIP.

I've had no problems using it, although I doubt it'll report lab grade results like a horriba. It may or may not be accurate to .01AFR, but most home tuners/hobbyists will get along perfectly fine with that unit.

Joel I was hopping someone would chime in with that sort of info.  It seems that most things that EIP sells that are not specifically for a VW is an off the shelf item from someone else with a mark-up.

The Bosch O2s like what most of these run (I.e The Innovative LM1) The sensor MUST be at least 18" back. I would suggest a little farther then that.

 

Stock location would be a BAD idea.

it records 02 at rpm then spits it out on the the laptop in a graph like below. probably the best tool for tunning with an S-AFC type device.

I have the PLX WB (PLXdevices.com), they have just come out with some new models, but I have the one that was just replaced.  It is only $300 with sensor, and for anoter $35 you can get the adapter that allows you to view the WB linear A/F on any aftermarket NB analog gague.  they also have datalogging outputs and NB outputs.

 

I have the analog Halmeter A/F 30 gage hooked up to it, it's nice to have an alalog gage to view out of the corner of the eye while driving at WOT, sucks to read a 4 digit number and make sense of it while driving like that, not to mention unsafe.
