Oh yea, why don't you school me boy? Please tell me how an air/fuel guage with a narrow band O2 sensor is going to provide any meaningful information above 300rpms?

I would put then on the pillar.... it just seems like the best place.
I molded a 2 guage pod to my friends a pillar a wile ago (his turbo is not installed yet so the pod is not either else I would post pics of it) but I think thats the best way to go, mold it so that it looks perfect and does not look added. -------------------- |

I am sure you chose this reply because you could not back up your incorrect claims. BTW, people rely on the information that people post in this forum. So, when you suggest that people should buy a crappy a/f guage when they have a turbo application, you are actually encouaraging people to throw their money away. Moral of the story: don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

trust me, jay knows his stuff.
if you know how a narrow band gauge works, then you would know that it can not be used for any type of tuning. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

QUOTE if you know how a narrow band gauge works, then you would know that it can not be used for any type of tuning. True but it still provides the ECU with a reading that can be watched and therefore make sure your engine doesnt run too lean which is my main concern |

Well I'll be the one to say that I honestly don't know crap about mechanics. I'm running nitrous and I figure the air/fuel gauge would tell me when I'm running lean, when to spray or not. Is this right? Or would I need a wideband O2 gauge? To my understanding, the A/F gauge is narrwoband. I don't know what that means. But which one's the wideband O2 gauge, which I'm guessing is better for nitrous. I just thought the little light thing on the A/F gauge was cool. Lol.
