Turbo Tweek question...Eric or anyone who runs the new wideband chip..

[garyk1970]

looking to buy the wideband chip.....i have the powerlogger and AEM wideband...
i like the way the chips reads off the power logger and wideband to adjust fuel,just set your target afr...
my question is i don't have a 2.1 or newer scanmaster with the updated chip....do i need it? or does the chip work off the wide bands input off the power logger like i understand it does?

thanks for the help....

A Scanmaster is not required, but the Powerlogger is necessary so the wideband signal can be fed into the ECM.

Recommend a chip

Eric. What do you recommend for a bone stock gn.

 

[Boost231]

Call him and he will set you up

I dont think you can use the wideband chip, with stock injectors, I think you need 50lbs or larger. ASk Eric

True you have to have enough injector so you don't run out of headroom on the correction

Anyone have a preference in widebands ? I plan on doing the same after I install my powerlogger.

i use a AEM UNGO,comes with an gage,same sensor for two years now,no trouble....ive read about a plx sensor that will run the pl w/o a gage...your prefference...look in your pl settings,you'll see some sensors already calibrated to the program,probably simplest to go with one of them,like the two already mentioned.

At the present time I suggest for NGK AFX which uses the NTK sensor for $250. The NTK sensor will last way longer on leaded fuel compared to the bosch sensor, just due to sensor design. The trade off is a slightly lower response time.

GaryK1970 - have you tried out the WB chip yet? I have the same AEM w/b and powerlogger and am also curious what others thing about the wb chip versus a standard kickazz Eric alky chip.

LC-1, powerlogger, wb correction chip, scanmaster, 93 octane, dual nozzle alky, 32 psi, trapping 127 mph = me likey.

Obviously that was a hail mary pass, not all results are typical and your results may vary.

I bet its the best set up you ever used...........

 

[garyk1970]

you are 100% correct... its one of those moments where i wish i would've done this sooner....im trying 11.5 in first and second,then 11.3 in third,fourth....im thinking that i can go a little leaner in lower gears?

 

[norbs]

Are you using methanol in the car now or not? 11.5 would be pretty lean on methanol.
