new autometer wideband

[fwdsal]

does anybody have it and is it good?i could get it for a decent price but dont know if its as good as aem

 

[Lunch_Box]

I don't think it is out yet.

The Autometer wideband A/F gage is available at Jegs for about $360.00. It is a simple looking gage that has a light bar and a digital read out. The size is 2-1/16" and it comes with a Bosch wideband o2 sensor.

The only major draw back I see is that it doesn't have logging or graphing capabilities. How it compares to AEM I don't know, but I know every Autometer product I've ever purchased has been high quality.

i could get it for $325 so i wanted to know if its worth it

From the description it sounds just like the now-cheap AEM setup...

The AEM's now go for about $300 shipped, if that at all...

I would consider it, but for tuning you really want a wideband that you can log and tune, not turn your head every few seconds and try to remember how lean you were at 6k rpm

Why not get the AEM UEGO for $270?

Exactly. It comes with the gauge, a bosch sensor and you can log it.

 

[Black95TSIawd]

you can log the aem gauge as well. It has two outputs that you can tap into somewhere and then log. I'm doing that with dsmlink.

 

[scottsee]

are the AEM UEGO o2 sensors propriatary? are they expensive?

AEM uses bosch sensors. They are about $75 a piece last time I looked.

What's the Autometer part number on this new wideband kit?

 

[logic]

They apparently have a wideband offering in most of their gauge styles now, but it's not on their website. Jeg's has a listing of all of them.

 

[DGajre777]

Damn! That's $100+ than the AEM UEGO for the Phantom one.

the aem can log using an outside logger device not on its own right?

The autometer wideband has been out since the 1st of the year, I was going to buy it but it's $100 bucks more than the AEM and use's the same sensor. I guess if your into the cobalt led light show than $100 bucks might be worth it? it's no better than the AEM just over priced!!

 

[hairybeanbag]

correct!

the gauge has a low current output for EMS/Datelogger's so they can read the voltage from the wideband o2 sensor.

 

[larsrya8]

For those that don't need the gauge, PLX has something pretty neat.

 

[brute]

If you don't need the gauge, I recommend the Innovative LC-1.

 

[fwdsal]

has anyone gotten the autometer wb yet?

 

[tstkl]

, THATS why danny's plx wideband o2 sensor can't go below an afr of 10:1, their output voltage has a lock at 10.

afr=2*voltage + 10

you can't have a negative voltage because a volt is the potencial difference between two electrically different points. So 10 is the minimum. That makes those wideband REALLY good for turbo application where our cars often go below 10:1. [/sarcasm]

I would not suggest getting a plx for a turbo car, unless they have a model with a programable output like the lc-1 does.

 

[larsrya8]

Why would you ever want to go below 10:1? The common ratio to shoot for 11:1 when running pump gas.

 

[ZmanIV]

Anyone else here running this system I think it is a great compliment to my DSMlink.

i would give it some time to see the tuner community reaction. i would go with what has been proven to work, and AEM's UEGO is known to be very accurate (to 0.1 AFR).

on the other hand, i have all autometer ultra-lite gauges, and i would like to keep the trend throughout the car. however, i would not sacrifice accurate information over looks/themes.

 

[steel_3d]

I would stay away from AEM or Autometer. Autometer can't even get their boost gauges to read 0, plus it's a pretty expensive solution. Who knows about quality.

AEM apparently is known to kill sensors. If I were to do it over again, I'd get an lc-1 or maybe plx. In general you shouldn't need to be tuning below 10:1 afr.

Isn't posting NABR shit on other forums a big no no?
