air/fuel gaudge

does anyone know if you have to have a wideband to put a air/fuel gaudge in?????

well, a wideband is pretty much a air/fuel gauge.

No, but there is absolutely no point in putting an a/f guage in your car. Its just a light show, nothing more. Save your money and buy a wideband, then it can serve a purpose and still be a light show.

No you don't need a WBO2 for an A/F gauge, you can add a regular O2 sensor or splice it to one of the O2's already on the car. I have mine spliced in to the first O2 at the top. It's not very accurate just tells you your running rich under full throtle and moves around the rest of the time, except when down shifting to slow down then its lean. Hope that helped.

narrowband air/fuel ratio gauges are worthless and vague at best in terms of the feedback they give. a stock o2 sensor gives a range of 0 - 1 volts whereas a wideband sensor offers 0 - 5 volts, far more resolution and far more precise reading. it is more expensive but better safe than sorry
