Hey guys I'm working with a Haltech Elite 1500 and in need of wiring a wideband, any recommendations on what works best with the elite? I'm planning on connecting the wideband using the outputs to the Elite.

 

Haltech

 

Not the AFR500v2 with NTK Calibration Grade Sensor?

 

It was just easier to type Haltech. But yeah. The ECM kit is still tops.

 

haltech is bloody easy to connect via the CAN network

 

If only they used something other than the Bosch 4.2 as a sensor. I hate those things.

 

I haven't had any reliability problems with the Haltech Control units and the 4.2 Sensors.

When you use a CAN Haltech Wideband and it detects a problem it will disable any closed-loop feedback function. Most other wideband will just output a steady voltage and often can cause closed loop feedback to make a change for the worse.

The other advantage is it doesn't take up any valuable inputs, and seems to respond faster than an analog signal.

 

Controlling them is fine, its that the free air cell that the 4.2 uses to calibrate can eat itself very easily on a race 13b even when using the recommended distances/mitigate EGTs (short of having like ~1550*). Sure you could put the sensor even farther back but I've noticed not insignificant lag when going over data logs. When they last they're accurate, its just annoying to have to replace them 2 to 3 times a season.

I'd agree that the fact that they're CAN based is nice though.
