What wideband do you use? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Honduh · 02-16-2011, 04:55 PM

I'm in the market for a wideband.

What setup do you use and what sensor does it use (bosch/ntk/etc)? Also, how long do you have to go before replacing the sensor? And if possible, how did it compare to your tuners high end unit (motec/aem)? I'm new to widebands for the most part so its kinda overwhelming me at the moment.

The 3 im considering so far is: FJO, Innovate LC1, PLX m300. I'm looking for something that is accurate/best bang for the buck, and be able to handle occasional street driving.

Any input from personal experience would be awesome!

I've used the AEM with great success, Never tried the 3 your considering.

Honduh · 02-16-2011, 05:23 PM

I've heard the AEM's fail quite often. But then some people swear by them.

DPancoast · 02-16-2011, 05:41 PM

I used an Zeitronix unit in my MR2 without any issues. Keep in mind the sensor was at the end of the downpipe. < 3 feet from the turbo lol. The car Im getting this weekend has a PLX unit and the previous owner has raved about it ever since I started talking to him. Unfortunately no personal experience with it but I hear nothing but good things about them

I use the Innovate LC1 an my tuner loves it. It's worked great since I've bought it 1 years ago *knock on wood* an the cars I've seen my tuner work with all seem to have it too.

I run two widebands in my Nissan. One goes straight to the ecu, the other to a gauge. Both are AEM, both always read the same. been good for three years.

I do like the lc-1 myself, but I've heard mixed reviews about the bosch sensor it uses. I also like the price of it.

Ej6Mike · 02-16-2011, 08:44 PM

i used my AEM for a good amount of time on my honda.... still awaiting a chance to install it on the Ru. It has worked very well for me.

tjmhillz · 02-16-2011, 09:18 PM

im running aem. had it for quite some time now but i think my sensor is going bad. But other than that its been holding up pretty fine.

Seem fine to me I'm sure if there was any serious issues we would have found out quickly hitting it with the shot.

I have an AEM Uego in my Z and have had good luck with it. The sensors fail as often as any others, but are easy to replace. They go much quicker if you run leaded race gas.

Foolinaround · 02-16-2011, 11:28 PM

Dynojet wideband w/commander. No complaints.

Honduh · 02-16-2011, 11:33 PM

The Uego does look pretty nice and its priced fairly decent. But I don't like the round gauge.

TunedIS300 · 02-16-2011, 11:45 PM

have an aem one been on for a year....

cvcrcr99 · 02-16-2011, 11:49 PM

AEM for the past 2.5 years with no problems.

Sberk06 · 02-17-2011, 12:11 AM

I ran an AEM digital in the GSX before I sold it and I loved it.

boostedfury · 02-17-2011, 01:55 AM

UEGO here for idk how many years now! Works like a charm!!

SvicksTc · 02-17-2011, 01:58 AM
