PLX wideband kit

just finished installing my PLX wideband 02 sensor kit and i must say im very impressed with it, i only have it rigged up to a cheap air/fuel ratio gauge.

im looking for a better quality wideband air/fuel ratio gauge if anyone has one

i got it to set my bike carbs up i have on my zetec but id just like to say how good i think it is, it comes as a complete kit and took 5 minutes to wire in.

Make sure that what ever gauge you buy matches your controller in terms of showing 10-20 AFR, 0-5 Volts.
Some will be 9-19AFR or 9-21 etc.

Innovate LC1 is 7-22 for instance, so the Innovate gauge would read incorrectly with your sensor.
My Techedge is 9-19. Ditto.

i get what your saying, i borrowed a really cheap gauge from work one of those ting tong chinese ones that has been laying around for a while, these are designed to be used on a standard narrow band 02 sensor and they work at 0-1V so if i used the 0-1V output on my PLX unit then would this read corectly? obviously it wouldnt be as accurate as a gauge that works with 0-5V but it will get me going as if i order a gauge it wont be here till after the weekend and i want to start setting my carbs up this weekend

could you give me some advice on this?

thanks

The 0-1 V gauge should read correctly on a suitable 0-1 V output and might be accurate too. But only across a "narrow band". They are intended to indicate a "stochiometric" mixture, ie. 14.7, and will indicate richer or leaner than that. But not as accurately as a wideband at mixture extremes. And usually not as quickly either.
It would "get you going" though.
