*edit just noticed i misspelled vortech on the thread title... oops*


Planning out a DIY vortech install on a budget. I have searched but haven't really found any specific opinions on widebands made by prosport. I plan on using the prosport oil temp, boost and a possibly the wideband afm gauge if needed.

This is the gauge i am looking at:

I plan to do this myself and use the stock v3 vortech kit with the SS box, then get the SS box tuned asap. I will keep the stock pulley as i am only looking for 350-370 rwhp so i don't kill myself and keep the car streetable. Given my plans do i even need a wideband or would a AFM using the stock O2 sensors be enough?

Other planned mods:
Oil spacer/larger pan and thermostatic oil cooler
Colder NGK plugs
Quaife LSD (hopefully prior to install for traction's sake)
Custom molded pillar for gauges

Current mods:
JWT lightened FW and clutch/ SS fluid hoses
Power labs 3/8" plenum spacer
DNX cat-back exhaust (loud as hell)
Wide A$$ sticky tires

Given the breathing mods would I need a tune prior to running the car from the SS box's stock tune?

Once again I have searched, read a lot of posts including the vortech guide I just want to get some opinions, thoughts and possible answers

Thanks in advance

I like my haltech wideband.

 

I have the prosport boost and oil temp gauge and I like them alot. I've had them for over a year now and no complaints. I would guess that the wideband is probably just as good. I was thinking of getting one as well.

 

That is a pretty nifty wideband. I didn't know they made a double bank wideband setup. Thats cool.

 

Costs an extra $75 for the second sensor so that's like $300 not too bad.

All things considered a wide band would be necessary for a stock 3.33 pulley install?

 

Did you go with digital or mechanical? im thinking mechanical looks better.

 

Its good to keep ur eyes on.

 

Hey Chef-J if I can ask was the v3 any more expensive than the v2 kit i cant find an advertised price?

 

I went with the mechanical ones.

 

I don't think V3 was expensive than the V2.

He had best price when i bought a Vortech, i don't know about now.

 

HKS AFK but it aint cheap

 

What about the stock tune on the SS box is it safe with catbacks and a plenum spacer?>
