my wideband has a 5 volt output.....can this be sent to the engine computer instead of the factory o2 sensor???

My PLX wideband also has two analog outputs. I feed the WB (0-5v) signal to the Translator Pro and Powerlogger, and I send the NB (0-1v) signal to the ECM (not needed anylonger because of the wideband control, but just for info).
Is that why it is called NB? Becouse of the much less range of signal? 1V vs 5V?
That would make sense...

The Powerlogger already has the capacitors built in, so the ones that come with the PLX are not necessary (at least for the Powerlogger).
It's usually best to keep a stock type O2 in there to keep the ECM happy (if your setup requires it). I've found that the simulated narrowband outputs on the widebands sometimes drive the BLM's bonkers, other times it works ok. Also, don't try to take any WOT O2 readings from a simulated narrowband output.

I wonder how appropriate they are in any situation? I'm hooked to the Translator Pro, and PL.
Do you think I can do without them? Do you know of any instances where there was a problem without them?
