Air/Fuel Gauge Question

[turbodsm18]

What is the best air/fuel gauge out there. I mean, I am confused on what a narrow band is and what a wide band is. Eventually I plan on getting dsmlink if that makes a difference.

search wideband.

Narrowband has an output range of 0-1 volt. It's only accurate at stoich A/F ratio, which is 14.7:1 for gasoline. The farther away from stoich the less accurate it is. Narrowband is what the factory oxygen sensor is. Most A/f gauges are for narrowband sensors and are completely useless.

Wideband has an output range of 0-5 volts and is accurate over a much wider range usually 10:1 to 20:1. A wideband setup consists of a wideband sensor, a control unit, and they sometimes include a display on the unit, or an auxillary gauge. Some have programmable outputs and datalogging capabilities. If you are planning on getting Dsmlink you don't need a wideband with datalogging capabilites.

Some of the most popular widebands are the PLX m-series

The Innovate Lm-1 http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lm1.php

and Lc-1 http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lc1.php

The Aem UEGO

They range in price from $150 to $350 depending on your needs and preferences.

Well my question is, will the AEM Gauge-type wideband UEGO controller work for monitoring. I just want an air/fuel gauge for monotoring when I get DSMLink. Or do I need something for logging, Im kinda confused

The gauge type AEM UEGO will work perfectly. It has a display to monitor A/F ratio and an analog output so the Dsmlink equipped factory ecu and datalog the A/F ratio as well.

Awsome I guess thats what im going to go with.

This is the one I use and I find it very useful for logging WB info on DSMlink and it's also nice to see real time info with the gauge unit.

i agree aem uego. i say its worth the money had one in my srt4 real nice. or you can try the ngk one that is out there now its nice and reads a lower a/f r. like down to 9. its at a decent price.
