Afr
Quick question.
Is a standard £30 AFR gauge better than nothing.
I know a wideband is essential but out of my buget atm so im looking at a cheap narrowband gauge to my O2 sensor.
So with that in mind its either a narrow band or nothing so do i go narrow ?

ive never had a narrowband afr gauge. I have a wideband aem uego. I was going to go that route but was storngly advised to stay away form a narrowband. the narrow band is just a light that fluctuates (SP) back and forth and does not give an accurate afr #. our cars are a little more sensative to fuel than others, believe me I just spend 3k on a new motor, i know it sucks, but from my own experience, dont cheap out on the fd if you can help it.
Do you have a credit card? Buy it on ebay and pay with a CC. then you dont have to pay backl all at once.
my .02
ps i believe it was somewhere around $300 for the gauge and the sensor for the exhaust

Thanx for your .02 but .02 is about all i got haha.
But it still has to be a narrowband or nothing till after Xmas so do i bother or not ?
BTW wideband will be perchased in the new year as i seem to have developed some paranoia about leaning the engine out.
Oh and i dont do credit if i aint gotthe cash i dont get the goods

well, if your worried about leaning out the motor, i would get a wideband, spending 300 to be safe is alot less then spending 3000+ on a new motor. im sure someone else will chime in and give you their opinion.
