Thread: Which wideband should I get?

Just bought a NGK and I love it

Had a UEGO in the past, know several people who had one also, wouldn't go with anything else myself.

Ntk afx

uego here

Uego here too. However I rarely tune my car anymore.

UEGO here.. The AFX are nice too if you'd like a larger numerical display

should be able to get a new UEGO on amazon/eBay for $160-$170

I'd rather have a wideband that can be calibrated perodically . I don't why so many people get stuck on aem for widebands

Cause that's the only name they ever hear

I just bought a plx. I haven't installed completely it yet but I really liked it so I bought it.

Cost comes to mind, and they work for that price.

Who cares about getting stuff exact, most people that tune cars are hacks anyway. So getting it within .2 to .5 of the AFR they want seem to work just fine or just run it slightly rich to save your ass.

AEM's sensors do tend to read off slightly as they get older, but I'd replace it after 15k miles anyway to keep it fresh.

The option to graph the signal on the digital screen was a big plus for me. If I'm driving I can watch the road and glance down at the gauge less often cause I see 2-5 seconds of data and can see dips or spikes.

The narrow band simulation works well for you? My stock o2 is taking a dump and I was thinking of just putting the wideband in it's place and using the simulation. I've heard mostly good about that but a few guys say it sucks. I think I'll try it, then when I put my headers on I can change it if I don't like it.

I wouldnt use narrowband sim from any of the wideband contollers. one way or another I end up wiping out my wideband sensor once a year and it usually takes a few weeks (or months) to get around to replacing it. Using narrowband sim any time you have a issue with your WB you have an issue with your tune. Another thing is that widebands tend to fail slowly with a period of reading way off coming before total failure mode. During that type of failure it wouldn't be impossible for it to throw your LTFTs way off and leave you with -16.5 WOT ltft and possibly from there a chipped piston

Another reason why people should buy widebands that can free air calibrate...even my LC1 setup @140 bucks with gauge is the same price as aem and its stillhamdlimg beautifully

I replaced my primary o2 and am using the narrow simulator feature of my wideband. That or have an o2 bung welded in on the downpipe.
