Congrats... trust me you'll love it. Like being on the dyno ALL the time!!!



I honestly think ANY single turbo car should have one... but RX-7s... are an absolute must have!!!!

yeah i want one too. the seat of the pants wideband isn't very good https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Just use a micrometer to measure the carbon on the tail pipes.

i can't wait to get it ! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

what is a wideband and what does it do?

it tells you the A/F ratio very accurately so you can tune the car

A wideband is an instrument used to read air fuel ratios accuratly......11:1, 11:5:1, 12:1, ect... Typically on pump gas we want to stay around 11:1 to 11:5:1 in boost at wot.

94touring got it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

cool

wow thats a lot of money

its cheap insurance

Doesn't the sensor burn out pretty fast? And are pretty expensive to replace? I've heard this is the only disadvantage of running a wideband on the street.

yes thats true. its best for u to make sure u have ur car running in good condition

its prolly worth the money



mike

ok, vosko post the weekend rental rates for the wideband.

I'm first in line! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

seriously, as soon as i buy the rest of my gauges, thats my next purchase.



as for the sensor burning out, you only need the wideband hooked up while tuning. tune the car with a nice saftey margin to account for inconsistancies in pump gas quality, and replace the O2 sensor with a bolt, till you need to re-tune for diffrent boost/mods in the future. thats what everybody i know does with thier FJO's.



group buy anybody??

Spend a few hours on the dyno and you paid for the FJO. Not to mention it's a helluva lot cheaper than a new motor.



Tuning will be better too since it's real-world loading... not dyno loading.



I promise once you get it you'll wonder how you ever drove without one.

I may be trying a DIY wideband with Dragon's help. He's going to test it out and if it turns out good, I'm sure we'll post results.



JIM, that supra of yours looks STUNNING :bigok:

Thanks Jspec...



I know a few guys who had the DIY... they ended up selling them and getting an FJO. They had problems with the heat and current draw... the DIY's pull a ton of current and get hot.



Other than that I think they worked OK. I'm pretty sure they don't show actual A/F... they just show a voltage so you'll need to know what voltage = what A/F.



Keep us posted... I'm curious to see if you guys can get it working well.



Jim

my FJO will be here today! hopefully can hook it up today

<bump>

Vosko... did you get your FJO yet?



Do you like it?

i got the FJO. the shop has to install it and weld another bung into my downpipe. my car should be all done this week so i can race it at englishtown this weekend https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
