Wideband O2 sensors play a pivotal role in the realm of automotive tuning, providing precise measurements of the air-fuel ratio necessary for optimizing engine performance. Unlike their narrowband ...
One of the most important measurements we make while tuning an engine is finding out what the actual balance of air and fuel was inside the engine. It doesn’t matter if we have a carburetor, port ...
If you build engines, tune cars, or even just like mashing your foot on the throttle with conviction, you’ve probably heard the term “wideband O2 sensor” being thrown around at the track, dyno ...
Back in the Fox days, the most common method of tuning was to increase timing until detonation, and back it off a couple degrees. Like Fox cars, that method was crude, but a dyno wasn’t on every other ...
As ever, I am fighting a marginally winning battle against my 1991 Mazda MX-5, and this is the story of how I came to install a wideband oxygen sensor in my Japanese thoroughbred. It came about as ...
For any engine to reach its maximum potential, the fuel must burn efficiently. Running rich or lean is not good for performance, and in extreme cases it can be catastrophic. A rich engine is likely to ...
O2センサーとは、排気ガス中の酸素の有無を検出する空燃比センサーのことです。 エンジンを制御しているコンピューターは、エンジンの燃焼している状態を、燃焼した後に残っている酸素の量で判断しています。 酸素が検出されるということは燃料噴射量 ...
In a performance application at wide open throttle, the ECU needs to control the air to fuel ratio to hit a small target somewhat richer than stoichiometric. The narrowband sensors most OEs use only ...
This application can be used to display your wideband oxygen sensor data in real time. The graph consists of a 10 second history of the sensor data. This code can be easily changed to utilize data ...
