#84094, "Narrowband to Wideband converter?"


          

I didnt know where to post this, but since most of you wideband users are all turbo, i decided to post here. I found this on ebay looking for a wideband kit so when i go to the dyno in spring, we can tune better obviously. Instead of buying a $3-400 wideband kit, i "guess" this is a converter to convert the normal blinky narrowband autometer a/f gauge to a wideband gauge. whats your thoughts on this item?

It's just a little black box's interpretation of a crap-ass signal coming off of a crap-ass narrowband O2 sensor. It isn't the readout that sucks on a narrowband, it is the sensor.

next question then, whats your thoughts on the AEM UEGO gauge w/ sensor? its half the price of a wideband kit and seems to be decent since most AEM products are. it works without the EMS and laptop, so is that worth the 250 bucks or no to that as well, lol?

The AEM UEGO isn't bad... I bet that you could get the same for less money by reading up on www.wbo2.com until your eyes bleed, though. emoji

Depends on your skill level and motivation, but I would probably just make my own.

I had a techedge unit.. www.wbo2.com. its not bad, but i dont trust its accuracy on the extra things it does.

i currently use the Dynojet Wideband unit. Its very very nice and I trust its accuracy.

You guess wrong. It should say wideband to narrowband converter. That "device" takes the signal from a PLX wideband controller (the heart of the system) and feeds a 0-1V signal to any standard blinky a/f gauge. There is no way you could take a regular narrowband o2 sensor and up-convert it into a wideband reading.

IT IS GOOD. Buy it and be done with it.
