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

    • Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...
    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
