Re: Wide band system

Wide bands no effect on the system....it's just a tool/gauge to let you know if shit is about to hit the fan if your modding and tuning. And I utilize a plx wideband. There's tons of info if you use the search button. Just an fyi....:tup:

Re: Wide band system

Wide band helps performance by letting you read into the tune. Just lets you know if engine is running rich or lean or in between.
Use in conjuction with Turbo Tweak chip for virtually self tuning capability. Tell the ECM what AFR to shoot for and it uses wide band for reference.

Go this route, you won't be disappointed.

Sensor can be installed in stock bung. Just swap out the narrow band for the wide band. Wiring should be described somewhere in here. Make sure to get one which emulates the narrow band.

I installed the PLX box with velcro on the side of the glove box. It is in between the radio and the glove box . It is out of site, but easy to get to, and the wires to the ECM are right there.

Didn't know this but Eric has programmed his chips to emulate narrow band. using wide band feedback by flipping a switch on the chip on second generation. Updated for future reference.

Re: Wide band system

Anyone know if the AEM wideband can feed data into the ECU? I've seen the write up for the PLX one. I figure it'll use the same pin in on the ECU but does the AEM have an output? My truck came with the gauge already installed and I haven't poked around with it yet since I have enough other things to fix and work on. But now that the truck is almost running well again, I'm looking into having the wideband not only be a gauge but also feed to the computer. If I can keep the AEM one vs getting a new gauge, that would be awesome.

I like your sig.
That's fast! ;)
It will do a lot better if I can get a better boost launch. I can only get it to launch at around 6psi, I can do 12 to 14psi on the street.

Yes. I'm using the AEM wideband along with the TT chip, happy customer here.
