Wideband Sensors
Turbo Mini Forums

Basically what do people use as a wideband sensor?
Im looking to get one so i can tune my carb better than by ear.
I did see this one

Im looking to set the carb up with a bit more than by ear.
What else do people use?
Im running a single carb and will be turboing it in the future so itll get a workout.
Cheers,
Joe

In boost we trust

Innovate and Techedge seem to be the preferred makes by those on here who know,but I have used an AEM, which is cheaper and easier to instal and seems OK to me.

AEM one on ebay AU

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I have a VEMS one which is fine.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

I use an AEM - works great

I have an Innovate XD-16 and LC-1. I had read that they were difficult to install but I really didn't have any trouble. I set up the LC-1 first and then added the XD-16 gauge.

I'll be using a kit from 14point7.com for my next one though as I have no money

Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on a carb?

incidnently the above page is BAT's form here, thats where i got mine.

Thanks Joe. That's a great price considering it includes a wideband sensor. I'll be getting one when I need it.

I haven't seen Bat on here in ages.

the vems unit from bat looks like a good option

Yes i moved to the darkside

The dual AFR and EGT would be handy for sure.

AEM's can be had for under £170 though, which is pretty damn cheap !

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

There are loads of AEM kits on USA Ebay for $190 ish, which equates to £120 ish, cheap as chips.

The one thing I REALLY like about the AEM gauge is the analougue LEDs around the outside. In the same way that I dislike using digital DTI's - an analogue display is easier and faster for your brain to adjust to than having to interpret and convert digital numbers.
Perhaps I just have a slow brain - but I don't think so given that dial DTI's still WAY outsell digitals - something that shouldn't really happen these days if you think about it...

I'd like an Analog AEM wideband however they are quite a bit dearer than the normal item.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

All AEM gauges have the LED's around the outside - which is what i'm talking about as a quick visual indicator:

However - in wondering what you're talking about I just realised they make a nice full analogue gauge:

You got it TD! I really like that full analogue gauge.

Although its not "that" expensive if I really want one.
