Air and Fuel meter

Postby FLESHAXXE » Wed Mar 17, 2010 2:15 am

I have recently changed the 02 sensor on my 20v levin and I have noticed that the air and fuel guage is reading rich all the time...and on top of that when the car is first started it takes about 4-5mins for the guage to start reading and when it does there is no backward and foward movement of the reading on the guage.....it's and Auto Meter guage...

Those gauges that hook to NB sensor are BS.
Another question is: have you reset the ECU when you did replacement?

Yeap, the WBO2 set I bought was the bestest $$$ I've EVER spent.

kim0663 is playing with it right now, he's able to diagnose why his car's bogging at certain RPM's with his new NBO2, and dial the boost up while make sure everything's safe.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

LC1 kits FTW

They're cheap and the fastest reading wideband controllers out there. Faster than zeitronix and other brands.

I thought Autogauge was the crap one, and Autometer is actually fine? or are they just the same thing but different branding and package?

I've seen both Autometer and Autogauge, Autometer certainly looks a lot better in terms of quality. But then again...narrowband A/F meters are useless for anybrand really.

Autogauge = crap
Autometer = better, but damn they look ugly.

Autometer is a very good quality brand and they have a good reputation. Their stuff isn't cheap either. Autogage is made by Autometer as well

"Autogauge" is a cheap Taiwanese rip off of "Autogage", one of Autometer's brands/models

Regardless of the brand, an a/f gauge with a narrowband oxy sensor tell you SFA
