Does anyone have a Uego 1000 wideband air fuel meter intalled in their truck and if so , what is your opinion of it.......is it worth the money...

 

I dont like that setup simply because its only 10hz on the read back to the laptop and it also lacks the needed datalogging abilities and updates that FJO unit has. If you want something simply, this is an ok kit. However, if you really want a A/F measurment for tuning per 50 rpm increments, you cant beat the FJO kit.

Also, they use the NGK sensor,which is only good to 1472F degrees.

 

Get the FJO kit; I have one. Well, just not full hooked up yet; have to get an exhaust shop to weld bung in for me.

 

who sells the fjo kit...

 

www.wbo2.com is the cheap option.

Otherwise I'd go with the FJO unit.

 

Do you know how much labor charges hover around for welding a bung in for your wideband?

 

Well you have two choices:

1) have the bung welded in. My exhaust shop knows me and charged me $50 for the bungs and welding.

2) buy a unit that will simulate a narrow O2 sensor. The wbo2 unit does this, and I think almost all of the widebands support it. That way you only need one sensor.

I thought only 1 extra O2 had to be installed? Didn't think you needed one on each manifold?

$50 doesn't sound bad at all. And I assume the sensor isn't that expensive. I really want that FJO but it's $$$. And I dunno if I have the skills necessary to assemble one myself through one of those kits.

 

Has it the Cheapest


the sensor is like 200 bux alone.

 

Hmmm this may be a winter mod.

 

You should check both banks. If something is wrong on one cylinder, you'd like to be able to see it...

Optimal is of course temp/WB per cylinder, but that's not practical/possible/desired for regular use.

Is there a way you can join 1 O2 sensor to both banks,...or even to have a bung welded on each header each with an O2 sensor prewired to a 2 way switch thats in your cab...that way with the flick of a switch, you can read either the right or left bank from the inside of your cab....

 

Why not throw some EGT sensors in there as well



If you have never solder electrical boards and the like, I wouldn't recommend starting with something like this.

If you want to try it yourself, I'd suggest you pick up some stuff from Radio Shack and mess around with the boards/diodes/capacitors/etc. just to get some practice before attempting it.

 

You CAN NOT do this. These wideband units require that they are heated otherwise they get fouled and won't work.
