Wideband 02 Sensor Install?

[DBL NKL]

Thinking of installing a wideband 02 bung into one header collector to monitor AFR in a supercharged application. Any recommendations on brands or models you may have used? Not sure if I want a simple gauge to monitor the air fuel, or a data logger? I could use a few suggestions if anyone has any feedback. Thanks

I have an Innovate handheld that I use for tuning from car to car. Has a simple plug for the cigarette lighter for power and transfers easily from car to car. Very accurate. If this is going to be a permanent install with a gauge you mount in the dash I've used the Autometer, Innovate, and Dynojet version, all worked great. Most all have datalogging capabilities now.

Leaning towards the Innovate kit thus far. I like the fact that I can put the handheld unit in the glove box and pull it out whenever I want to read it.

Thanks for that Jody.

Sorry Jody but no it's not, it's slow and very inaccurate. And I really wouldn't trust it on a blown application. Shoot me your email and I'll prove it.

I've had decent luck with the AEM stuff but just an FYI, the Accel 77062 datalogs and has a lean alarm. It will activate a light or even shut the motor off when/if it goes lean. Not a bad feature, expecially on a blown application don't you think?

well, a friend of mine who was testing it for Innovate against his $12K Horiba ( at least that's the price he quoted me) thought it was dead on. Always matched within a tenth to my FAST or other widebands. Maybe they're all wrong.........

Again shoot me your email, I'll forward you a test done by an independent lab that proves what I'm claiming. And I've had a customer burn up his blown '95 Impala SS running an Innovate.

Thanks Jody.

I ran this one for years in my drag car n/a and nitrous and it was a great lil unit. It's now in my new Camaro
