Wideband

[84 Sleeper]

I've been looking at a couple different wideband set ups and not quite sure if one is better than the other. The plx gen3 looks good and was looking at arm and auto meter. Any input would be great and even if I need one or not. Thanks

I can't say one is better than the other but I'm perfectly happy with my PLX unit. Plus I think it's the cheapest of the three and the price just went down recently.

Ya I was definitely into the plx. Is there any type of learning curve with the plx?

The only downside is deciding how to get the wire into the engine compartment. One mine, I cut the bigass plug off, routed the wire through a normal sized hole and soldered it back together. (that day was the day I learned my tool was too big to extract the wires from the PLX plug)

I don't think I've ever had a problem with my tool being "too big" lol. Ok but seriously I've heard great things about the plx and aem until, but I don't recall talking to anyone or seeing anyone running an auto meter wideband?

AEM works well, easy install and has a digital and analog read out

Took the speedo plug out of the firewall. You have room to get the big ass plug thru. I have the AEM, don't know if one is better then the other

Oh, I didn't care about the readout as I use my scamaster. No reason to spend money on the display.

I use the AEM inline and PLX 3 and mine is hooked up to the powerlogger so my scanmaster reads AFR and fast as heck too .

There's plenty of room with the PLX to go in through the shifter cable hole. it's bigger for a bigger plug (giggity)

 

[Wahoo]

What's the best bang for the buck? Do you need a power logger to get it to show up on the scan master?

I think the PLX3 and yes you need a PL to show on the SM in fast rate and AFR readings

 

[Wahoo]

What about a wide band with a gauge? I don't know if I want to get a powerlogger, I might go a different route with the ECM later on.

That will work also without a PL

anyone have any experience with AEM widebands?

take the money you'd save from not buying a gauge and put it towards the powerlogger.

That's what I use and it works just fine....but I am going with a PL and already have the SM to go with it

I'm not positive but I believe that you have to also buy the WB sensor and module to go with that gauge. Might want to double check to be sure.

It all comes in the kit...sensor, gauge, 2 interchangeable display faces and wiring...its a good price and works well.

There is a lot of data that flows in and it's kind of hard to watch gauges and drive. Log and look later
