Selling a Tech Edge wide band meter.

Cheap and fun way to tune your own car or just to keep an eye on those A/F ratios.

Accuracy to within 0.1 which is plenty for street use.

See all the details here: http://wbo2.com/2j/2j1.htm

Connect to your laptop with the free software and monitor RPM, both knock sensors and A/F ratios. Only requires 3 wires to be connected to your ECU loom.

Cost me over $400 last year and has only done a few hundred kms. Im selling car and putting original ECU back in so this has to go.

Will sell for $250 firm. I will include registered postage to anywhere in Australia.

going off the picture there is no sensor and the rj45 plug has been cut off is this correct and its last years model which they no longer sell...

So I would need ot get a new bosch sensor, replace the rj45 connector and it should be right to go?

did you install this yourself, how hard is the install and do you need any software to hook it up to a laptop?

did you hook it up to your ecu at all? which ECU?

Sorry I should have mentioned that the sensor is still in the car. I need to jack it up to remove it and just havent got around to that yet. So YES the sensor is included. Can post a pic up as soon as I get it out.

I havent cut any plugs off. The grey wire you see with no end is the connections for the ECU. You just strip back the outer cover to get at the wires. There is another connector to attach your laptop with I havent included in the pic but here is a pic of it from the Tech Edge website. You either have the Display plugged in or the laptop into the grey wire with the black thingy on the end.

I installed it myself, was fairly straight forward. You need to find a wiring diagram for your ECU so you know which wires to tap into to. I was using it on a Power FC on my R33 GTSt. I tapped into the RPM, and both knock sensors, plus you get the A/F ratio from the sensor, so on the laptop I was graphing 4 inputs.

Software I used was free and available from the Tech Edge website. Have a look here: http://wbo2.com/sw/log.htm

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
