wideband O2 with PFC question

Has Glenn made a list of compatible O2 sensors yet or just general info for what type of voltages it can splice into and pick up?

Just curious if the wideband O2 on this page would work.

Any input

It's not really the O2 sensor that is the issue at all, Tim. It's the ASYNC output voltage of the EgorPro (after the sensor...after the "black box"). If it's between 1-5v, you can use the datalogit.

I don't mean to speak for Peter G. (DIY OZ WB), but he is working on a few new features. They have talked about EGT calibration of the NTK sensor, effectively doing the same thing as the EgorPro, at half the price.

BTW...the EgorPro uses the same NTK sensor as the DIY OZ WB!

Egor Tech. charges $15 for a weld in bung that you can buy at NAPA for $4. Not to metion $200 for the NTK sensor that should be $130. Ain't free market economies swell!

Don't know current price...I think it's around $700...Aussie dollars that is (about 1/2 that for US).

We used the same DIY OZ unit for tuning. Had some R&D to do to get it to work right (readings were not correct...floating ground issues) and it works nice now.

Just get it!

hell, I have to get the dataloggit first, the O2 as well, not to mention a cheap laptop to throw around in the car. I thought I was almost done with my car so did my wife!

Tim,

Never say that the laptop is for the car! Start lamenting about how you need a portable computer for the HOUSE. Then sneak it into the garage after everyone's in bed.

I wear the pants in my family! When my wife lets me!

damn, that's a good idea. One of the local colleges in my area requires a laptop that you have to get from them to do online work for courses. I already have 2 degrees, but maybe I should sign up for a PE class, drop it and get my money back and see if they remember I got a laptop.

HaHa, good thinking Tim!!!! lol you little con artist you haha

Another thing you can do is buy a long cable that goes from your pc, out the window, and park you can next to the house. Of course you cant datalog like that but you can change and swap maps at least.

tim, maybe this will answer some questions about the combatability with the pfc, dataloggit, and oz diy 02.......this straight from glenn, who ari told me is one the main guys who came up with the datalogging fc box/fc edit software:


Yes it works.
Most of the FC-Datalogit users are using the oz DIY kit.
I am using it as well.

We have a new map watch function.

As you drive around the A/F values are plotted in their relative position on
a 'p' vs. 'n' map.

Then you just go through the fuel map and adjust the values until the
desired mixture is attained.

I recently purchased the day-oz 02 wideband and was wondering if this
