Hey all how are you doing?!

Just wanted to put up this post to get an idea of how many people are currently using Widebands and which brands they are using and how much you paid (if you dont mind stating $). Post up your experience and how you like it or not like it. Just trying to get an idea to help you guys out and maybe get some good prices for you all that dont have one or need a better one.

Thanks
Ryan

A wideband gauge is used to measure your Air/ fuel ratio's of the car.. It is very much like your O2 sensors on your car.. but more precise mesurment then the factory narrow bands O2 sensors.. Here is a pic of one..

give me like 5 minutes and ill get a pic of my gauge set up... i still want to paint the pillar, but at least i got the gauges up and mounted and working... so bear with me and ill getchall a pic

ok im running a aem wideband on top... auto meter boost and water temp gauges going down the pillar.. they light up red at night, and have had no problems with any of them...

enjoy

haha totally off topic, but billy what type of cars did you smoke in your box... so far, i smoked my buddies rx8 with an exhaust, we did a launch, and i kept up with a audi rs6 on the highway, and i am not lying at all, and he did pull from me at like 110 when i shifted into 6th gear ... some misc kills are a v8 blazer, and a honda accord.. i want to compare billy

shifted into 6th gear ohhh you mean your phamtom 6th gear

The turbo makes it feel like you have a 6th gear...

Peter see your thread for my response.. So as not to jack this one..

hahaha, i meant 5th gear... unless i have a secred tranny swap in progres... jp it would be nice to have longer gear ratios, and while were at it a 350 chevy small block in our scions

forget chevy, gimmie a full, true race hemi... hmmm new project once the warranty is up! how much did you pay for your tri-pod pillar? what are the diameter of the holes?

fusionscion

the holes are for three 2 1/16 gauges... im not sure what the aem wideband is, maybe a 552m, but it is mighty snug in there, i cant get it out, but im gunna have to when i paint her up....

jwaj2002

how much did it cost?

fusionscion

i got a deal on the wideband and the boost gauge... i paid 35 bux for the water temp..
its tricky to install though, i need to get a t fitting and run the sensors together, the toyota one and the autometer one... if i didnt usethe tyoyota one, i wouldnt be able to control my fan...

jwaj2002

how much was the pod?

fusionscion

around 50 bucks i think off egauges dot com

I believe the 2 most popular widebands are from AEM and Innovate Motorsports.

I personally don't see the need to run a wideband on a stock car but it’s almost a requirement on a super or turbocharged car.

For the money I think this would be the best investment as it offers more features like EGT, Knock, Boost, Data Logging and also comes with a real time dyno feature although I'm a little suspect on that feature.

i had the ngk afx on my srt4 worked great

I have an aem wideband on my turbo Miata. It is the model with the integrated controller, about $400. I can't see much use for one on a Box unless you are boosted and have an adjustable ecm.

I don't think a boosted box would keep up with an RS6, that car is a rocket. My 2100 lb/260 rwhp Miata probably would not hang with an RS6 at high speed. Now on the track, that is a different story
