Hey guys, I have a question, when hooking up an Air/Fuel Gauge, did you use the Oxygen Sensor that's on the car or did you have to get one that comes with the Gauge.

sycraft · 09-15-2014, 09:31 PM

the O2 sensor in the car is not a wideband and will not work. Since the rear O2 sensors are deactivated, you can tie one out of the way and run one there. Should be in front of cats optimally, but is cattless will be fine

and I have no wideband or boost gauge, the dyno tune told me where its at and I can feel it if it is running different. .I do want them , just too many other things keep coming up

Now that my cats and rear O2 sensors are gone this is exactly what I want to do.

Tnx Sycraft for info

I don't know about the LFX but the LLT does not have an IAT2 sensor, only the IAT on the MAF. I relocated my IAT to the charge pipe right in front of the throttle body, but I needed to for meth injection.

Also, a Centrifugal Supercharger will not heatsoak like a PD. I don't think a PD is available for the V6 yet.

I did what sycraft said. I bought an aem afr gauge and used one of the rears for the wideband. worked perfect

Skycraft, got any pics of your set up?

Caswell239 · 09-15-2014, 10:16 PM

Same here, no cats, so used my left rear o2 bung for my wideband.

its SYCRAFT... LOL, what setup? I have no alternate gauges...

Jason@JacFab · 09-15-2014, 10:22 PM

It's not a boost gauge, but it's a wideband AFR gauge, I feel like the two kind of go hand in hand... Unless you've got a really good tuner like Skycraft!

I kind of felt like that vent wasn't especially useful, so I made a better use of it.

lol you too, yes Matt at Florida Speed and Power can dial it in right....

FWIW, a wide band is far more useful, its going to make whatever boost its gonna do with the setup...

Jason@JacFab · 09-15-2014, 10:35 PM

I'm still rockin the stock tune, but I 100% agree that the wideband is much more useful. Regardless of whatever kind of boost my or anyone elses setup will or should make, if I could only have one gauge, this would be it.

KaBoom1701 · 09-15-2014, 11:36 PM

Well I was just going by the stock ZL1 gauge. I figured that was the standard but I see I stand corrected.

Just when I get all comfy to order my IPS I get a reality check. lol
