Wideband

[surfwax95]

Alright, I've searched.

Newb question, I'm sure, but I am new to forced induction.

What is wideband and how/why does it work?

From what I've read I gather that it replaces stock O2 sensor (or wiring) and measures A/F ratio using exhaust, but how would this let you alter the A/F ratio (what's the point of having it?) Would you have to use electronics such as the SAFCII ?

Thanks so much.

just like the name implies, it's a wideband 02 sensor. narrow band (stock) tells you rich, stoich, or lean, with no resolution. wideband tells you HOW rich or HOW lean.

Thanks for all the info, this should make a good search result for someone one day.

Just got my car wideband tuned 2 days ago. made a WORLD of a difference. no more smoking, no more rough idling...it's doing great.

I guess my AFR was 14.5:1 which is DANGEROUSLY high. Set it down to 12.5:1 and she's running great
