Wideband O2's-DIY and OTS - Page 3

Anyone heard when version 2.0 of the techedge is coming out? Their site says in February. I signed up for the mailing list along time ago, but have yet to get a single email from them. It looks like it will be alot better giving more sensitive readings.

A buddy of mine was selling a Greddy A/F gauge with a "wideband" 02 sensor... is it possible to use a wideband 02 with this gauge???

Fellow Oz widebanders,

Where did you get your L1H1 sensor? I ordered one from NAPA and they called me today to say that they have stopped selling the ECHLIN brand sensor, because they've been on back order for 3 YEARS!!!

The other site, ThePartsBin, is a dead link and if you search for on O2 for a honda VX, they dont even list one?

Thanks,

Glad I bought mine when they were $119--wished I had bought a spare.

When these started to become popular all the parts retailers DOUBLED their pricing and that is IF you can get them. There are very few cheap options left.

That is the same guy that is selling them on Ebay. He has been giving good service. That is the cheapest place around right now.

Well, now according to Techedge's website, version 2.0 will not be available until May. It was previously due out sometime this month

Maybe the HKS piece will come out before then and there will be some good info on it. It seems like a decent price given there reputation.

I have a question for anyone that's running v1.5. Have you tried using the WB o2 as a replacement for the stock o2 sensor? It says on their website that the newer version supports "A simulated Narrowband output (with adjustable stoic point) provides a sensor signal for the ECU when the original (narrowband) sensor has been removed. This enables wideband measurements without adding an extra bung in your exhaust system." I'm curios to know as to how this works because it would be nice to just run one sensor and it also mentions it having an adjustable stioc point which would be great for tuning... Any thoughts?

Has anyone had any luck locating the NTK# L1H1 o2 sensor? Im in desperate need of one and I cant find it anywhere other then the dealership.

treimche · 04-02-2003, 04:17 PM

Yeah I just tried to order one from Napa, but they don't have any idea when they'll be available. Anyone? I need one!!!

larryd · 04-02-2003, 11:26 PM

I just got outbid on ebay for one. Bastards

treimche · 04-02-2003, 11:38 PM

I just searched on ebay for like 15 min and didn't find any!

?

zerofreez · 05-15-2003, 01:03 PM

I was searchin on ebay for a wideband kit, and found this guy

Kits with digital displays for 279 plus 10 bucks shippin, sounds good to me.

treimche · 05-15-2003, 01:14 PM

That doesn't say it includes the sensor though. I found a sensor from someone off the Techedge WB Yahoo group. All said and done I spent $400 on the sensor and the TE version 1.1 WB. And it works awesome!

JET · 05-15-2003, 08:30 PM

I spent $170 for my kit and sensor, but that was before the price jump. Techedge has their new WBO2 coming out in a few weeks and it uses a Bosch sensor from a VW that you can get for $50. It also has data logging and stuff built in. It is also firmware, so it can be reflashed with updates.

AEM also just released a wideband. Retail is $400 with the sensor, so they should have a street price around $300 I am guessing.

Amallick · 05-20-2003, 08:25 PM

we have tech edge at work~ 3 or 4 logged runs up and down the street, when we got to the dyno, our a/f was right around 12.5, which was perfect for a turbo civic that gets driven very, very hard.(231hp/219tq on a daily basis), just proving the units accuracy. another minor perk to the unit, is the saved time on the dyno. we only needed 2 pulls, which was $30. id reccomend the tech edge unit just for ease of use, price, and accuracy. it is defintly a good idea not to replace your stock 4wire o2 and use the L1H1 all the time, since they build up carbon fast, and easily lose accuracy. It was meant to be run on a car that ran lean anyways.(civic vx). well, thats my blurb on the topic.

pimpngear · 05-22-2003, 11:28 PM

While I am in the middle of subscribing I might as well throw out my question. What was the general aggrement on placement? From what I gather, for those of us who don't have a ems or any other engine managment YET, we would be better off going about it the hard way(installing a new bung, probably just before the flex pipe). Since my future plans are to get an EGT and A/F guage right before i buy an S-AFC, I can sort of skip buying both of those guages and just use the WB for tuning off of. I mean since it will be stoic the gasses will be cool enough anyways. I gather that the cost will be fairly close, and definatly more usefull. damnit.....now I need to sell my guage pod. any takers.

Oh yeah...tell me more about this voltage regulator for $40....where and what type?

jdmawd · 05-30-2003, 05:16 AM

one more to add to the list price appears to the 400
