AFR and Boost all-in-one gauge?
AFR and Boost all-in-one gauge?
how about this little lot:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PLX-DM-100-52mm-SM...2a0c54744b
Its got all the stuff for a wideband, and as far as i can tell I'd just need to get a boost sensor for it?
What is the consensus on needing gauges from day 1?
For example....If I install the S/C, then take it down to a local tuning house and get them to make sure that the AFR isn't fubar. Then just not rag on the car for a month until I can get something decent sorted?
its not normally recomended as the garage wont want to do it with out the full kit being there as they wont want any come back for getting it wrong and or blowing up your engine if you forget and then floor it or whatever.
Doctors wouldnt operate without there gauges to measure things, Gauges on our cars are like life support machines.
Why do you need the afr guage? If you have the piggy back ECU, and the sensor on the intake pipe, it should do it all for you? Or will you have more than one map for the car to accomodate for driving styles?
My IS300 has been S/C for 3 year's, I have a piggy back ECU ( which I have been meaning to change for the past two year's hock boost and oil pressure guage.
Its mostly for the initial startup tbh. The piggyback has been professionally mapped - but on an IS300 in the USA, so chances are it wont be perfect (taking into account atmospheric and fueling differences).
I will get it remapped to my car....but at a later date (providing it doesnt spit out dangerous afrs).
Something that has just sprung to mind - can you read AFR from OBDII? Even if its not 100% accurate...just enough to verify there's no immediate danger?
OBDII will need a wideband o2 sensor fitted from factory to read AFR's. Narrow band sensors won't read AFR through the ECU.
So if the IS300 has a wideband fitted as standard the ECU will be reading AFR values.
