I'm using an AEM UEGO as well. Thing is, I'm not totally confident it is 100% accurate. I have a feeling it might read a bit rich, otherwise my tune is extremely rich. Frequently seeing ~12.5 on cruis

if you're using the serial out on the wideband to the adaptronic then don't worry, the ecu will know the sensor is offline.. if you're using 0-5 to out.. and analogue in.. when the wideband fails ecu

That said, I'm otherwise happy with the AEM. I've just finished wiring it into my G4 expansion harness which was very straight forward. The Zeitronix kit looks the goods as well though!

Mine seems to be pretty accurate and very responsive!

I use Innovate MTX-L, appears to be a tiny bit laggier than my old Innovate LC-1.

I installed a AEM UEGO on Phil's S15 not long ago and they seem pretty good in terms of response, however his is mounted a little closer to the exhaust housing of the turbo where as mine is mounted pre cat.

so where is the point of difference in all these products?

the sensors will be quite similar yeah? just bosch units or what-not? is the difference in the controller bit? i thought all we want it to do is send an accurate AFR and that's it and let the ECU handle the rest?

if you are aussie there is no reason why you should not use the techedge. you don't even have to buy the display with it which makes it cheaper.

been using them for years, and i own 2 units now. cannot fault them at all. I even had a issue with the long sensor cable and he was nice enough to replace it for me for free when it was not really even covered under warranty and the turn around time for the repair was only 2 days.

all parts and cables are available to purchase seperatly, so you don't have to buy a whole new wideband sensor if you destroy the power cable or the wide band cable.

all he does and all he has ever done is build wideband meters, no one knows as much about wide band as this guy.

cannot beat that shit.

Yep I splashed out on a TE WB3A2 and all manner of cables and adapters a few years back . It has all kinds of logging abilities most of which I'll never use . It's wired into a Vipec plug in nowdays and works really well . The only thing I ever did was drop it in to TE in Canberra to adapt it to their current fastest I think Bosch LSU 4.9 probe . It heats up faster than the one it came with and my tuner requested a new probe when the plug in was fitted and tuned .

If you only want an 02 input for your computer you can buy them cheaper and not pay for features you aren't using . I use the small LCD display so I know what's going on when the lap top isn't online .

I'd buy Tech Edge again , cheers A .

yeah i got the 3A2 as well, had it since 2007 i think... its still going strong. its got the usb interface. its been dropped, wet, left in 55deg + heat for days on end and its still going strong.

I also go the basic 2j2 unit.

if you want a good unit for tuning cars then grab 3a, if you just want one for one car the 2j2 works great.

these things are rock solid, why bother with the seppoes crap ? you dont use AEM computers why use AEM wide bands ? its just silly.

I got this depo gauge...seems all right has Bosch sensor..

Started reading lean, turns out my fuel filter needed replacing...replaced fuel filter now wideband reads error...tried to calibrate it but no response..:unsure:

Pretty sure sensor is still fine , if unit is dead can I just get the techedge so I can link it to my adaptronic?

I seem to misplace a bookmark about wb testing, AEM was at the bottom in terms of how fast it reads and accuracy. A .01 difference compared to LC1 and the other brands that was tested. I had an LC1 first unit was DOE got a new one and it worked peachy.

Im going to try and google n see if I can find the article.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
