Re: Vr v8 with th400
Ok guys need some more advice. I'm putting the innovative Wideband in now and I'm stuck with which way to install it. Can I simply remove the factory o2 sensor and install the Wideband into that location, then run both the outputs from the Wideband into the pcm location for both Wideband and narrow band, with out it upsetting the pcm as there's no heater wire connected for the original narrow band? Or will it throw a code?

Personally I'd just weld another O2 bung in the exhaust and leave the factory narrow band in place. Other guys have tried the NB simulation from the WB sensor but have had issues.

Re: Vr v8 with th400
If the wideband is a temp install for tuning only, then just put it in place of the narrowband. You will have closed loop turned off while tuning anyway, so the narrowband is pretty much useful only to give a sanity check that the wideband is rich/lean from stoich.
If its a permanent install then definitely add a second bung as immortality suggested, narrowband sim is not great.

Re: Vr v8 with th400
I can't see any wideband reading in this log ?
but I can see that when you reved it the narrowband sensor went lean ... but that could just be the part after the blip....
but it doesn't look to go very rich at all till about 2500rpm....

No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!
