I've managed to get my hands on a few wideband sensors. I presume its wideband anyway there are no part numbers or anything. The only thing is it says pi research on the bag which I believe is cosworth and it's a 5 wire so I guess it's a wideband.

I want to fit it in preparation for the turbo and I'm a bit confused as to how it works. I know widebands need a little control box but are these boxes universal or will I need a specific one for this sensor?

Can I run it on a standard ecu? So that I dont have to fit it at the tuners and it would be nice to see what it's on as the car is a bit iffy right now.

Why is a wideband 5 wire anyway?

It's a 2000 altezza rs200

Hmm, could be difficult. Def needs the box to turn the signal into a 0-5v output the Ecu can read.

I know with the sensors for aem/stack gauges they have resister packs as part of the sensor wiring can't remember why but I think if you find the aem uego gauge manual it says in that

Most ecu's have an input that reads a 0-5v signal.

apparently its an ntk uego and i cant use it on the standard ecu. well that's answered that lol cheers for the help anyway, I'll ping an email to that company and see what they say about a controller. apparently not all controllers work with it
