Wideband sensor
I have a 1.6 na with a jackson racing supercharger, it is fuelled by a powercard piggyback system. I have a narrow band gauge in the car at the moment and have set the fuelling (with advice from TRACKDOG RACING) with that.
I was going to get the car tuned on the dyno but i,m sure I can get it perfect with a wideband sensor/gauge.
I know most people will say "dyno the car" but the powercard is very simple and I am fairly sure I can get it 99% right with the wideband and not have to pay for the time on the dyno.
What are your guys thoughts?
wideband $250.00.....dyno $??????????

I went the wideband+knocksensor+roadtune option, absolutely no problems. Tune went from <10:1 rich (FlyinMiata default map) to 12:1 and it perked up quite a bit as a result. Also means you can do things like tune in a nice over-run crackle and make occasional re-tunes for things like bad gas, change in weather, altitude etc.
Good for a 80-90% good tune, that last little bit on the ragged edge ... not so much.

And if your only tuning a power card i wouldn't waste $ on dyno time
Yeah thats how I was thinking.....the powercard is very simple and I have it pretty close from just my narrowband and the advice from TRACKDOG. Like I said $250.00 and I have the wideband forever.
Does anyone know???? I have a heated oxygen sensor because of the aftermarket headers....is a wideband sensor heated or not?

yes 99% sure a WBo2 is heated - because the voltage response varies with temperature, it needs to be within a certain range to be useable/reliable.
go for it ... at nearly 3x the price (a few years back) it seemed like a decent deal to me

yep, but with a WBo2 you can actually tune for something other than stoichiometric as the closed-loop target :]

link NZ have no records of the FMLink they are two totally diferent systems!Mad Kiwi wrote:interstingly, I spoke to link and they said it didn't make enough difference on the Miata Link or the other link unit I had to even worry...
Was rather disapointed with that.....I believe the Link 2,3 and 4 do use the narrow / wide band info though....
a fmlink will take a 5v wbo2 signal a link nz miatalink will only perform the basic functions of a G1 link
flyin miata exported a whole bunch of miatalink's and made their own chip for it
linknz will not provide support
