i remember reading in a mag a while ago about akit you put on and it gives you a dash display or something so you can see whats the fueling in doing.

anyone got one or anyone in the know about them can you give me some advise about them , or just general feedback on them

 

Lambda sensors and displays are only any good if they are wideband. Otherwise you might as well fit one of those xmas trees (lots of pretty twinkling lights) that truck drivers stick to their dash as that will be more use than the narrow band sensors.

 

the kits from what i can remember were quite expensive Ł300 or more so guessing that kit has got to be a real good one.

been flicking through my old fast fords but not found it yet.
got a few permormance fords i got to look through when i find them, lol

does anyone remember the bit in the mag im on about?

 

As daz sed,


if the kits Ł300, then its most prob a wide band, but you will need to check.


If so, yes well worth it, but only if you know the fuelin figure you need to be lookin for.

I wouldnt run my cars with out one,

 

once my engines been built and all run in and set up i will know, just want to keep a eye on it as the fuel pump started going ages ago and i didnt know this was the cause untill i had it checked, was lucky i didnt bust the engine as it was very lean,.

what sort you got mate as in make, model, will give me a starting point as ive tried looking on the net but its not coming up with much

 

i run a Tech Edge wb02,


http://wbo2.com/order.htm


i paid Ł250 for the set up inc p+p, but then it cost Ł50 customs at the post office.

but know they have a UK agent, a bloke called Bill, and he's cheaper and a real Good bloke, as he done a warrentie fault on mine.

 

cool ill have a look.

found a few on ebay, this one looks ok, i know its cheap but is it the sort of thing im after? not gunn ahve a real big spec engine, same as what im running now just rebuilt, so would something like this do me?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MakeTrack=true

 

dont bother with that,, it will just show lots of nice numbers!

buy this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Innovate-XD-1-...QQcmdZViewItem

the electronics and sensor are well proven

 

ooooh i like nice numbers thought, lol

not to sure about this number though,

buy it now price: Ł279.99

very nice i have to say, but was thinking something on the cheaper side of things, not because im tight, of skint, but because of the fact my engine isnt gunna be a real beefed up lump or used for track etc, just after something that will do the job without pulling my pants down

 

well the sensor you posted simply wont do the comlete job

i want a ferrari,, not for track use but just round town driving, but i cant find one for a grand,,,,,,

 

you know what i mean

 

basically mate the narrow band ones like the one you posted is crap, it doesn't read a wide enough band (as the name suggests) and is basically just a gimmick.

to actually have it a useful readout you HAVE to have wideband, and <Ł300 is one of the cheaper ones!

 

Check out the latest Performance Ford guys, we've tested one of the better ones out there against the 'industry standard' mega-expensive kit, and it did pretty bloody well!

 

whats this all about?
is it the same as what you posted up GARETH T
, but without the gauge, or just for use with a laptop or something?

 

my dad calls them panic/paranoid guages lol

 

if you want one you can datalog off, try this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Innovate-LC-1-...QQcmdZViewItem

you would need a laptop to use it (or wire it into a narrow band gauge) and it would be accurate as its the same electronics as the one i showed earlyer!

im sure performance ford will show all

 

whats the one stu was banging on about recently called? i might get myself something like that

also what happenes if you replace your std sensor witha wideband one, will the ECU based closed loop still work?

 

gareth, i'm seriously tempted to buy that one in the link you just posted. does that do all the cool stuff the one stu posted before?

 

the wideband controller has a narrow band OUTPUT which you wire into the standard lambda ecu loom

 

if your talking about a/f limits too rpm/load no mate sadly not

 

Dave could you do a group test, all on the same day?

all usin same sensor, and calibrated.

as i think that will be better.

these are very good things for about the price of a tech edge one



i can get these for 220 delivered u can log ur afr on this to

hth cheers jay

 

Stu uses the Dynojet kit.

JayRS, read this link.

https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...asc&highlight=

 

thats the link i forgot to put in my post, lol

 

jayRS

i read your mind

 

will do mate, cheers.

not really after dater logging, but seeing as there is a kit about, is it possable to link it to a screen inside the car?

i asked a question a long time ago now about having stuff like bosst etc displayed on a screen in the car but was told the ecu was no good fo it, it was later car (someone said at the time about jap cars can do it) that could only have a system like this.

i know its getting away from the origanl question but i have never really looked into add on bits along these lines so appoligies for the "dumb" approach to all this

 

mate you dont wanna do that, who knows what sort of $hit ya find,

 

jayRS

anything possible mate,, why not study electronics and have a go at moking one yourself?

 

 

TBH mate i love making things for my car myself and doing the work to it my self, gives me a good sense of satisfaction to know ive done it, currently working on a set of quad headlights, to incorperate the indicator etc, but electronics are not really my thing mate, physical hands on building is my thing, i could do the electronics side if i had the board and all the bits and it needed putting together i could do that but designing it, way over my head mate.
wiring it all in etc would be easy but the electronics just aint my thing

 

HI all,

Check out this months performance ford, should be back to back test
on AFR meter's, from 5th of january.


DAVE R.

 

i'm a bit of a twat when it comes to this

gareth, what does stu's dynoject on do that the ebay one doesn't?

if its just the activation thingie then i'd gt the ebay one. datalogging would certainly be cool tho

 

you can set a warning on stus one, not sure about the others though

 

yeah stus yuo can set it to warn you, the others you have to "watch"

 

so not really worth the extra 100something quid just for the warning feature and the activation feature really ?

 

the company INNOVATE make these kits with all sorts of add-ons...

i'l try and find the link

 

 

http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/

 

cool, when i got more than 5 mins ill have a good look at that mate

 

I would pay 200 pounds extra over the others simply for the warning feature!!!!
