Logging wideband AFR with Direct Scan?

[Steve]

I thought I saw a thread on here a while back discussing how you could log wideband o2 reading with DS but I searched and can't find it. It seems like you could use a one of the other less needed inputs like ATS or maybe you could display the wideband output voltage thru the alt/battery voltage input the the DS then use a chart to convert that voltage into a WD reading. Any info would be appreiciated. Thanks

I thought about that for a while, but decided it was too much of a "pain" so I upgraded to the Power Logger (simple plug in) to do that.
Of course I still have to obtain a WBO2, but I got PL up and running. :wink:

One of my main reasons for moving from DS to Powerlogger as well... Now I get to log just about anything with a wire, currently I log WB, boost and fuel pressure aside from everything else that the ECM provides. I could even log oil pressure, tranny temp or anything else electronic with a sending unit. Plus its nice not to have to boot into Win98/DOS to log runs...

Even more great reasons to upgrade!!!!!

And one more great reason, since you're running DS, your ECM is already modified to accept it!!! It plugs in the same place DS does, but without the finnicky plug problems!!!

I am not really looking to upgrade my scantool right now. My car still has the stock MAF and and unmodded computer so for the cost to upgrade the MAF, add a GenII trans, upgrade the computer for lowZ injectors, and go with the powerlogger I can go with a classic FAST for not much more which is the future plan. Nothing wrong with any of those items at all and I think TurboBob and Full Throttle have done wonders for turbo Buicks but I just want to go with a stand alone system to try something I haven't done before. With that being said, anyone have any ideas on how to log the WB.

Which WBO2 setup do you have?

I recently installed an LC1 into my car. The LC1 can be connected to simulate a narrow band oxygen sensor. With the sensor installed in this configuration, the ECM and DS should recieve the WBO2 sensor's signal.

But as a simulated narrow band signal, which doesn't accomplish anything other than replacing the stock sensor (with the same 0-1v signal)
