My installer is telling me that I really don't need an EGT since I now decided on a Wideband Sensor.

I would like to get a second opinion....what do you guys think?

Is it ok to skip on the EGT if you have a wideband?

 

With the wideband o2 sensor you will not need an EGT. The EGT gives out exhaust gas temp and you can then extrapolate the a/f after you tune on a wideband. So with an EGT you will need to know what your A/F is at what temp.

The wideband o2 is pretty much telling you your a/f.

 

so does that mean if you have an AF you dont need a wideband or a EGT?

 

How do you have the AF? The wideband or the EGT are ways of getting you're AF.

 

Much clearer thanks 350Now.

 

what i mean is if you I use an A/F meter, will i need an EGT or a wideband, which is better, which one should I get?

 

What kind of A/F 'meter'?

 

A/F meter only monitors at Idle..once you are WOT you might as well throw the A/F out the window..Wideband is the ONLY way to get accurate A/F ratios..period..

 

i was looking at an autometer, but im now looking into blitz, my tuner is telling me to go with an EGT meter, i was gonna go wideband o2 but they are pretty $$$,

 

But by the time you waste your $$$$ on an EGT and an A/F plus install you could have just got the wideband in the first place..Duh..

 

hmm, EGT 200, AF 100, thats still about 200$ shy of the WB02

 

Add install cost...And the fact that by the time an EGT reaches the danger zone its too late...Ask Ravaz...

I can get you the AEM for $450 shipped...

 

Look at a techedge or fjo wideband. For the money they are great and you won't be dissapointed because you can datalog with each. These are totally different from the autometer because that one is narrow band and is not even in the same class ( the reason for the price difference). You get what you pay for. Don't take the chance with this motor... big $$$ to fix.
