Anyone here running DIY wideband O2 sensors?
I've been looking into the DIY-WB kits since I'm getting closer to buying a tweecer and I'm probably going to buy a wideband kit as well. I'm looking for any kind of advise in the area even though I've read about 50 articles on them. I'm thinking about the 2.0A DIY kit (see link below) for the Bosch 7057 sensor and I'll probably get the datalogging and led display stuff as well.
Here's the link http://wbo2.com/orderpage.htm
Has anyone ordered from that site?
One other thing I was wondering was, where would I put the sensor? If I was running an o/r x-pipe or h-pipe, would I put the sensor where they cross so that I get an averaged reading from both banks? How does that work, with a single sensor? Is it common practice to just use one bank and assume the other is the same? Or would I just make sure that it goes after the crossover and then assume they're equal? In the long run, I'd like to be able to read both banks individually at the same time.
The Bosch 7057 sensor is only $30 US so it's not like it would be too incredibly costly to actually tap for two O2's (unlike the $350 Honda sensor), you know?
Would the crossover be too far away? I assumed since the 5 wire sensors are self heating, the distance away wouldn't be a big deal and dyno tuners put them in the tailpipes anyway, right?
In case you're wondering why the hell I want the WB for my bone stock car. I don't NEED one of these yet, but I love putting electronic crap together and this would make for a really fun and usefull project.
