Air / Fuel Gauge

[s2avant]

get this: www.zeitronix.com

it is proper cheap (US dollar is very low!!!) and it works great!!! comes with probe as well, and there's a narrowband simulated output that you can hook up to the ECU so it thinks the stock sensor is there.

Can the wideband lambda be left in the car for normal driving? Been reading about wideband and lots of people say it shouldn't be used full time only when tuning.

Here is another nice looking a/f gauge from AEM

where do you place the EGT on the 5 cylinders? Before or after turbo? Any pics?

Can we arrange a group buy from Zeitronix! I like this but it is not very cheap!

Any other Boost Sensor can be used? I think their boost sensor is not very cheap!

not this particular kit but I have my boost sensor on the IM

and the EGT gauge in the downpipe, it was in the manifold but I had problems with them breaking.



and where it is now.

The WB sensor can be used in the stock location, provided you don't exceed 840 degree C at the sensor. This is what I've been using ever since I've had WB systems, and I've never had a sensor fail on me because of being in the stock location. Of course, higher temps will reduce the sensor's life, but at $30 USD a piece, I'll just order a batch of 10pcs next time I need spares...

No problems having the sensor mounted permanently, as long as the WB module's narrowband simulation is good enough for the stock ECU...

These quastions and : Is the narrowband simulator from Zeitronix good enough for the RS2's ECU?

Jesus, I would have never thought I'd be Zeitronix's customer support here!!! Gotta ask them for some dough!!!

The narrowband simulator should be ok for the RS2 ECU, the RS2 ECU is very basic and you shouldn't have any problems using the Zeitronix.

For the boost sensor, you can only use their sensor. What they don't tell you, is that you can only use 1.73 Bar relative out of the 2.5Bar relative (3.5 absolute) range of the sensor. No fix is available for this yet, and it p|sses me off because I bought it with the sensor especially because of the 3.5 Bar sensor...

I have just asked them if they make a better offer for a group buy!

So we can arrange a group buy!

Pricing:

20 units:
Zt-2 Bundle $240
Zt-2 Bundle with the LCD display $350

EGT sensor $59
Boost sensor $139
EGT + Boost sensors when purchased together $190

Shipping Continental US by UPS ground $10
Shipping for each additional Zt-2 unit $3
Shipping International by USPS $32

According the Boost sensor they said:


Thank you for your interest in our products.
At this point maximum range of the boost sensor is -25.5 inHg + 25.5 PSI. We are planning to expand it up to + 35 PSI.
Please send us a list of participants and we will make a GB web page.

Thats what they told!

Maybe they can be send on UK and then to other countrys like Greece!!!

You can put me down for one. It works out cheaper than buying all the different gauges and is a lot neater.

[Billman]

so we are 2 till now! I will make a new thread for this GB in the GB topics! All other comments about the Thema: Air/ Fuel Ratio systems remain here!

Ben

It's cheaper, but not easy to read at 100mph . Reading numbers is more difficult then looking at needle positions IMHO.

Does anyone know this? Megan racing its called. When ignition is off, its dark.

all of the lean/rech gauges are crap. The only one that I wold consider are those AFR meters with wideband sensor. Others will be just a toy. (how to see if it is a toy or a real tool will be a precise display of the curent afr ie. 12.0 not lean/reach toy).
