I was thinking about fitting a pair of wideband AFR Gauges to my 03 Z in order to help with accurate tuning , Most gauges on the net are JUST gauges, im looking for a complete fitting kit, sensor and guage etc setup.. obviously ill either need two, or some kind of system which can read both headers collectors... so im wondering what everyone on here uses? brands/models/prices etc...


Thanks,
Terry.

Check out my thread post #41. I'm installed the AEM UEGO and I believe I spend around $250.

good wee write up there... but where did u fit the sensor? did it come with the kit? surely this will only read one side of the motor?

The gauge comes with a Bosch Wide Band o2 sensor that you have to install right before the cat on the driver side. Yes it will only read one side of the motor, but from what I heard, the driver side always runs the leanest(someone please confirm).

how are you guys going to use this guage to tune?

That's what I was wondering. I use them on my carb'd muscle car and is a great tuning tool but not sure what I'd do with one on my C-5.

They will need to be able to log runs with tuning software like EFILive or HP Tuners.

im no expert on this, but surely on high RPM's, you normally have a AFR in the tailpipe when tuning on a dyno? as far as i know, this isnt ever hooked up to your tuning software etc... but is used to be sure the motor isnt running rich/lean. if it runs either of these, then you adapt the tune to match?
And having an AFR closer to the Block than the tailpipe makes for more accurate reading.

is there a better place to weld the bung so it can read both sides of the motor that is still pre-cat??

I run a PLX setup on my MN6. I use EFI Live for logging/tuning.

On the wife's, I had a bung welded in at the driver's side X but have not installed a WB setup on that one yet.

I have the kewi wifi already. Justmthought the extra sensors weren't cost effective. Lol. I might check it out more. Very accurAte ?

I just don't have the imdb so I'd have to buy that to even use it with the kewi wifi. So was it 270 bucks for the plx sensor and wideband gauge

If you want the most accurate longest lasting wideband on the market, I would recommend the NGK AFX Wideband Kit.

would it be ok to use one of the rear O2 spots with a no cat / no rear O2s off road car?

Zo6TT

im actually being told to do a bung near the tail pipe after my turbos (remember im rear mount) cuz that air will be the most accurate?? and cuz of the rear mount the pressure pre turbo would show richer than it really is. whatcha think?? and to go with the AEM uego.
