UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 When you run forced induction a WIDEBAND A/F gauge is a must. They give you a very good idea of what is gping on and how well your engine is running. Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 so where you thinking of puttin the gauges then ?? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I like the look of these but boost one only comes in Bar.....might get annoying I think tho not a massive problemhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ANY-2-SMOKED-GAUGE-53-99-BOOST-OIL-PRESSURE-WATER-TEMP_W0QQitemZ350191916027QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item350191916027&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1689|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 yeah look pretty cool stayes with the black on black look .... yeah i did have a Bar but then went to psi so much better as im only running 12 psi Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 they do look nice mate - when I get the car back on Tuesday will check what make mine is, as it shows boost in psi and fits nicely into the vent to the right of the steering wheel - easy mod Link to post Share on other sites

They give you a very good idea of what is gping on and how well your engine is running.The way i'm reading about wideband is that something needs to be welded somewhere to place the sensor. Welding is beyond my talents!!!so where you thinking of puttin the gauges then ??Well i'm thinking where stereo sits as its easier to see em, stereo down below me thinks Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Reading on t'interweb it says standard lambda is narrowband so only tells you if you are running lean or rich. Not a precise reading, might just go with running from lambda for now Link to post Share on other sites

They give you a very good idea of what is gping on and how well your engine is running.The way i'm reading about wideband is that something needs to be welded somewhere to place the sensor. Welding is beyond my talents!!!Using a wideband gauge involves having an extra lambda sensor place welded into your exhaust. Then a wideband sensor is screwed into there. A wideband gauge does not wire into the existing narrow band sensor.When gauges are wired into the existing narrowband sensor, this 99% of the time causes running problems.Welding maybe betond your skillset, but when running FI it is well worth it, You will soon see when something is wrong, or when your engine is about to melt. If you cant weld your self then maybe someone would weld one in for you. Link to post Share on other sites
