wideband o2

[Nastystang06]

So from what I understand the front two sensors are wideband no narrow

Does this mean I could use a wideband gauge and tie into one of those sensors?

Or this

Its a cheap turbo timer that reads a/f

Could that be tied in?

You may be able to read off them using a WB controler, but I wouldnt recomend it.
The problem is that the controller would have a different ground and Id be concerned that you could have a pull-up or pull-down effect that would offset the voltage and make it read wrong. Since the widebands are essential to the factory ECU, you wouldnt want to effect their readings in any way.

The thing to do is to get something that will read AFR based on the on-board diagnostics. I see many people using the Aeroforce interceptor gauges.
I personally use an Innovate OT-2, but I cant get it to read AFR, just lambda. Its not a problem for me since Im used to looking at lambda values.

So is there a chart to convert lambada?

I also want to monitor.knock
But don't have no clue where to start

Get an Aeroforce Interceptor gauge. They will display almost if not all factory ECU readings. If you piggyback them you can display 4 different readings at a time.

Here's a Lambda calculator.

And here's a chart.

I agree with the comment above about Aeroforce gauges. Shows you the AFR easily. I have two and show AFR, Timing, Inlet Air Temp and MPH.

best bet is an Aeroforce gauge, but they do not read knock retard

What's the difference between gas and gasoline on the chart? Natural gas?

 

[Nastystang06]

How would I know if I have a knock
I mean that's what destroyed my motor in the first place

Propane maybe?

use ur sct and a laptop and datalog.. i have the aeroforce gauge and love it.. i also datalog too and i have no knock

Make a det can for testing and listen with yourears at all times. Detonation has a very particular noise. I've experienced detonation many times in many different cars and have yet to lose an engine to it.

I just plug my Trinity tuner into the OBD2 port

Aeroforce ftw plus roush vent gauge cup=win

 

[Nastystang06]

is the duel setup necessary?
im considering that with the Speed of sound pod

but the boss pod looks good too

and the roush lmao

....and for that reason alone they are pretty worthless for these cars.

 

[Twinscrewgt]

Once the tune is dialed in. You shouldn't have to worry about knock. Your PCM will pull 5-8* of timing if it senses knock. If you get more than that your tune is off.

I got the duel setup with sos pod

And I need a good tuner close to mt. Pleasant tx 75455 lol

Keep in mind that that chart is old. Pump fuel is E10, so at a Lambda of 1.00 that is 14.08 now.
