Need Help with learning more about Wideband 02s

[92vr4ny]

I buy tons of parts off this guy Kwan over at www.apexvr4.com. I called up and asked him how much a Wideband would cost and if he had any suggestions and he told me about the follow.

Comes with the following...
- 1 bung
- power cord for car
- 5 wire Bosch 02 sensor
- auto calibrates
- measures air fuel from 10-20
- air plane grade connectors

$359(shipped) Bosch Wide Band 02 sensor w/ Display

Pictures can be found here...

I was curious if this is a great deal or only ok and what you guys think. I do not know a ton about it though and not too educated in this area, so I dont know how help I will be. If you geys know places to get a better deal please let me know.

That seems awful cheap to me, the DIY setups cost that much, go to turbomustangs.com and search wb02, there is a ton of info, make sure you search though, because those guys wont respond to a newbie when a question has been asked+disgussed already

WB02's are useless without logging capability. Brad found some WB02 that allowed for logging with a laptop. Does this have that? Abuot the same price too.

J. we need to start working on that little project we were talking about.... CHEAP wideband logger.....

Well I was thinking if we can find someone cheap enough that we could get a group of us together and try and haggle pricing with the dealer. I do not know if you can log with this one... I could call later and confirm for sure. If not what suggestions do you guys have for cheap logging ones. I thought since this had a display it would be almost as good. It may take 2 people to tune your car, but if the price was much better then a logging capable one, then I think it would be worth it, that is just my .02 though.

I will have brad post up the link to the WB02 he found. Has a display and logging capability for logging. Without a logger, a WB02 is pretty much useless.... as is a EGT. It gives you a general idea, but really makes it hard to tune across the board.

When I get back to school I'll post the link. The wideband I'm looking at does data logging and is just about 400 bux. Data logging is key, this has a prob for my car atleast where you can tap the ECU and it data logs a/f, boost, and rpm. Killer combo if you're planning on getting a chip burnt, or doing some ecu tuning on your own.

okay, I found it on my own. Damn I have a good memory. It just took talking to Brad for 2 seconds to jog it.

Here is the link: http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/lm1.php


More or less, for $350, you can log 44 minutes worth of runs, sampling at 12 samples/sec. It comes with all the necessary software and cables, the O2 sensor (bosch), the bung, and the cabling in between. Not a bad deal. Just thought I would chime in. I was gonna try and build my own, but for $350, that is a price that is hard to beat.

They look almost the same to me. So if this one can log then it would be a great price.

Yeah, I am a retard. It is the same unit. It does allow for logging. Excellent. Sorry man, I guess I should click on the damn links that people put up.... LOL

So $359 shipped is a good price then! Well that is good to know. :)
