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.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Rear suspension upgrades

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
