Narrow band o2

All,

in theory can you install any narrow band sensor by making the connection end fit wirinh loom?

i understand narrow band will be sending lean or rich signal thus should be using a stanadard voltage to communicte this meaning any ecu can understand any o2 sensor, am i correct?

 

reason to ask is i have a narrow band sensor on the r34 and have just purchased a wide band.

i want to replace it and install it where the narrow band sensor is right after turbo and then from the controller feed the narrow band to ecu until i get my link ecu in which can will use the wide band output

 

many thanks

Do you want to use the wideband as a narrowband until you get your Link ECU? your last paragraph is hard to follow

In short no. Not all narrowbands will be the same. Being that they are narrow, they use the voltage range (assume 0.5v to 4.5v) as a narrow range of AFR. but one sensor may read say 15:1 at 3v and another will read 14:1 at 3v. Since it is only looking at a narrow range of AFR, you can see how this can be a problem

It is recommended you run your wideband at least 1 metre away from the turbine exit and facing slightly up (from memory)

At the end it will be wide band when link is in:)

Do you know why it has to be 1 meter away from turbo by any chance?

Regarding the voltage range , if i understood you correctly Nissan or any manufacture will program their ecu to that specific narrow band . Please let me know if I misunderstood you

Is this just to save the trouble of welding in another bung? Probably not worth it.

My Innovate wideband does have a pass through for the signal but like 89CAL said who knows how different the calibrations are. Also it shouldn't be that close to the turbo, mine is at the bottom of the dump on the top side.

I still run the standard O2 sensor at the top of the dump for the ECU.

Thanks , don't know what you mean by dump

By the way is it a national holiday in Australia today? I am thinking of calling link with some questions . It is 10 pm here in the uk

The Link factory is in Christchurch New Zealand.  http://www.linkecu.com/

It is a public holiday today Monday and tomorrow Tuesday.

Once the Link is installed you won't need a narrow band sensor.

Cool and did some research re location of wide band and you are right i saw recommandations from 0.5 meter to 1 meter as close to turbo is too hot for wide band

 

i thought i saved myself some money when i installed a micra 1.3 o2 sensor on my skyline after o2 was bust

 

it has been ok but as you said it could be voltage reading of it could mean different things to my ecu to what original nissan skyline o2

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
