34501, What the diff between all these A/F gauges Posted by Semperboost, Oct-09-02 08:30 AM I thinkmy A/F gauge is failing me OR my new Bosch 02 is going to shit. Anyhow I'm thinking of getting an better A/F gauge but don't know which one to get and the difference..ie the cyberdyne, Corbins, Jumptronix.

34502, RE: What the diff between all these A/F gauges Posted by mcgyvr, Oct-09-02 08:38 AM I have made several posts about the quality of the bosch o2 sensors being WAY below acceptable It could very well be your Bosch unit I will only buy o2 sensors from the dealer All mechanics will tell you the same it might be more money but if it lasts years instead of months/days its worth it
34503, RE: What the diff between all these A/F gauges Posted by fly1, Oct-09-02 02:56 PM I personally haven't seen Corbin's digital a/f gauge, but I bought a digital gauge from www.gadgetseller.com and I like it a lot. It's a little pricey, but it does come in various LED colors, and it's of the highest quality.
34504, RE: What the diff between all these A/F gauges Posted by ner947, Oct-09-02 05:35 PM i hear that the bosch o2 sensors suck too. i stick with the OEM o2 sensors, they're usually the best. satan will charge you more than other generic o2 sensors, but it's one of those things that i can put up with, like getting gaskets from satan. btw, i have the autometer lunar a/f gauge, i like it a lot. it looks pimp, and it tells me if my mixture is dangeriousally low. however, if you want to do some "real" tuning, get a digital volt meter. i hear they work a lot better. corbin used to make them, but i think that he "passed the flame on to another 2gnt member". anyways, i'm done now.
34505, RE: What the diff between all these A/F gauges Posted by DarkOne, Oct-10-02 02:04 AM Get the Jumptronix or a Corbin clone. Anything else is practically useless for anything other than just looking cool.
34506, RE: What the diff between all these A/F gauges Posted by Kirby, Oct-10-02 03:37 AM If you don't have a TT yet(and if you do it's not in your sig so thats why I'm suggesting this) Get yourself an apexi TT. It comes with AF and O2 voltage settings and a voltmeter. It's a nice quality unit and small enough to fit on your dash. Here is a pic it's on the guage cluster ring there:
34507, RE: What the diff between all these A/F gauges Posted by JT, Oct-10-02 04:47 AM It's your O2 sensor. I had the Autometer lightshow A/F gauge, and decided a digital voltage readout from my S-AFC is much better ;)
34508, RE: Thanks folks...why is the autometer A/F gague not good for tuning Posted by Semperboost, Oct-10-02 09:32 AM I'm going to try to go back to Autozone and return the SOB or something (3 mo warranty) This 02 sensor is really messin with my A/F mixture and not to mention gas mileage. I can't believe it only lasted about a month and it crapped out on me. As for the A/F gauge...I'll probably get Jumptronix one - maybe. I can't really tune it cuz i don't have a S-AFC. Thanks for all the help fella's. It feels like i have a new problem every week, but it's good to know I have the support of a board like this everyday.

34509, RE: Thanks folks...why is the autometer A/F gague not good for tuning Posted by dudasd, Oct-10-02 01:26 PM Kirby, have you done any research on how well the APEXi TT works as far as the A/F readings? I can recall reading somewhere, think it might have even been on their site that they don;t recomend using it for any type of tuning because it tends to be a bit on the slow side in the readings.....Not sure how true that is, but I know I ran across it somewhere in my late night web scans......
