I don't think that means its accurate for 100,000 miles

 

Yeah 100,000 miles, at 200 mph. 200*500=100000

 

I don't know where you got the info, but it is waaay wrong. The Bosch Wideband sensor I use is what the VW 1.8T engines use as their only O2 sensor. There is a lot of propaganda surrounding wideband sensors, and this is one of the more popular ones. Don't believe it, they have a life expectancy just as long as Narrowband O2 sensors. Which is generally 60k-120k miles depending on the quality of your fuel.

 

thanks Jessy, that's what I thought....

teh215 - I'm in!

etx, you plan on putting that in ur eclipse or 350z? and how come the setup listed in this thread is more expensive then the one your getting?

$320 was at the higher end of what i was willing to spend (more like afford). i guess its gonna have to wait.

So is it 400 or 430. If you get a final price let us know please. I would still be intrested at 400 including shipping

 

There arel other Wideband setups available that are cheaper and have more functions, but I doubt any are going to get down to $320, plus the displays aren't as nice as the AEM one.

I am gonna have to wait - please count me out for now.

Here is one with an MSRP of 329, a Bosch sensor and display. I have found it at a website for as little as 299.00. The display could be better but it is all I need.

It also doubles as a narrowband and can be wired to most OBDII ECU's.

This is even better: http://www.plxdevices.com/NB_WB_GaugeConv.htm

Is there one that is actually similar to the greddy/aem ones - with an actual digital readout.

FJO makes a gauge accessory that works with their WB Sensor. Th gauge is like a $200 addon to their $700 controller and sensor.

Another option would be the link that I posted above (see link for more info). It is the first that I have heard of them so, I am not certain that it is 100% accurate but, basically they have a $33 adapter that allows you to use the $50 Autometer A/F gauge with their $300 WB controller and sensor.





While it is not much cheaper than the AEM, at least all of my gauges will match. Another bonus is that you also get a digit readout that can be mounted elsewhere.

I actually happen to like the look of the autometer gauges - but this A/F gauge does NOT have a digital readout. Are there any others that they make that do?

MySunset350Z what's up!

Yeah I would probably use it in both cars. I am actually looking into this plx unit now. Its cheap, has the functions I need, and is simple.

jesseenglish: I took that measure as being accurate after having 2 NB bosch sensors die on me after ~10k miles. I am useing a NTK sensor now, so far so good.

 

The FJO racing gauge does but again, it is very pricey. When using the Autometer/PLX controller, the digit diplay is in the PLX controller.

 

The AEM wideband gauge-type O2 sensor will be out in early February.

I'm getting one of the first ones.
