Wideband O2 Question

[Orange_dsm]

If you get a wideband, is it possible to just put it in place of the stock front O2 sensor? I know that it would physically fit, but is there the connections so that the car would still run? W/o the stock O2 how would the ECU know what to do? Or do you hook the new O2 probe up to the ECU?
Basically I'm wondering if you can get away w/o having to weld on a new O2 bung. Can you use the wideband sensor in the stock location to monitor A/F ration AND supply the ECU with the info it needs.
Any help would be great!

No you will need to put an extra bung in the exhaust. The whole point of the wideband is that it reads on a different scale than the stock O2. Just go to an exhaust shop give them 25.00 and ask them to put a bung on the DP and plug it. Done. Also, wide band sensors dont last to long so you would have to replace it more frequently thats why they are only used to tune then taken out.

Contact Mach V. The wideband that they sell can replace the stock O2 sensor physically and electrically. The unit to which the physical sensor attaches has two outputs, where one will wire into your stock ECU.
