widebands...whats the deal

[theflyingbrick]

im looking into a wideband afr gauge but cant get my head round how they work!!why do I have to replace the lamba sensor? whats stopping me just buying an afr gauge and splicing it into the existing lamba??

Its not a case of replacing the sender you need to add another one for it to operate correctly

It's a.downpipe off job, get a new boss welded in to take the afr sensor

Not true, the Innovate kit I have has a simulated narrow band output, so you can run just one sensor.

The two sensors produce different output voltages, narrow band is 0-1 volt, wideband is 0-5 volts

And to cut to the chase narrow band is pants so another boss and sender is needed for correct or should I say more stable monitoring of the afr's

All our cars are happy with narrowband.

Even though my wideband kit can do narrowband, I have 2 sensors in the exhaust

The narrowband is doing the job it was suppose to.

Very true and is fine while the car is running of the standard ecu but when on the custom map or full throttle for e.g a wideband is a must for correct monitoring/tuning

I didn't realize that, I think this explains why we couldn't calibrate your turbo tuner usb

ahh now I see thanks guys, so im gonna need a drill and a welder aswell lol
