awesome...looks liek i know wher emy next few paychecks are gonna go lol

thanks!

also, that gauge i posted a link for, comes with a o2 sensor, are they universal? or car specific?

If you're gonna replace the sensor in your car you need to get a setup that will emulate the factory sensor (like the PLX or the LM1). Other than that you just need to add another bung for the wideband sensor.

ohh ok i understand now.

i didnt understand that you add to, not replace the original sensor

i get it, so you weld this one in, and it wires straight to the control box that comes with the gauge kit....

cool, thanks!!

MegaSquirt logs everything.

[boostjunkie333]

megasquirt makes JUST a data logger? bc i already have a means of tuning fuel and all so i just need a handheld logger...

ill look into it when i get outta class today, im late right now, hha

Partially correct. Many sensors require 36" of pipe before the WB02.

No megasquirt is the ECU. I log everything thats its doing. If you want to run logs you will have to get an obd2 datalogger since your are piggybacking the stock ECU.

"Many sensors require 36" of pipe before the WB02"
From what I've seen between 24" and the cat is pretty much normal. Even then you could actually mount it closer if you use a heat sink and if you wrapped your headers it should be mounted further down stream, it all depends on the heat coming through the exhaust. Depending on the mfg the top temp for the uego is somewhere around 800*-900*f, so really it all depends on your car's setup. Also, if you're replacing the OEM sensors you need to place them in the stock location or the AFR will be off and it'll trip a code as the computer is looking for an AFR change within a certain amount of time from adjusting the fuel ratio.

damn i was just at lowes today...ill go back this weekend...i can spare 30 bucks to make this little gizmo..even though i cant quite tune yet...

[SilvrEclipse]

You look stupid as hell wearing them but they work awesome. I actually made some electric ones with a mic and an old computer speak amp. So now I can wear headphones and adjust the volume. Its great. The only problem with the hose is that its hard to turn your head. Get the most flexible stuff you can find and you will be alright.

[boostjunkie333]

thats the coolest thing ive ever heard...lol

if you wouldnt mind...whenver you get a free minute, could you go into detail a bit more about how you made the elec. one? id like to make that myself...

not to steal your idea or anything lol
