Wide band O2
I've seen this item mentioned but have no knowledge of it. I'm guessing that original oxygen sensors can be replaced with those have a wider range of operation or data retrieval range. Can someone offer a brief explanation with emphasis on year(s) of application and any benefits? Thanks, Jack :confused:

Re: Wide band O2 (bigjack)
A wideband O2 sensor will measure air'fuel ratios over a broad range. It needs it's own controller and is not meant to replace the stock O2 sensor with is basically a switch. If you have mods, race and burn your own proms, it is a useful tool.

Bluevette85....
I like that device, but I see a big problem with that wide band O2 for use on LT-1 cars...
We have separate exhausts for each bank....a true dual, no crossover...So we could only monitor one side of the exhaust with it.... booo hooooo

Re: Wide band O2 (dizwiz24)
I think that it would be accurate enough with it mounted on one side. If you had concerns, you could take readings on one side then readings on the other to prove they are the same.
