AEM Uego Wideband Air / Fuel Ratio Gauge

[ThinkRusty87]

I want to order and install a aem uego wideband air / fuel ratio gauge on my 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged 2.0L ecotec, but am wondering if it is really worth it? Has anyone here installed one yet? If you could include pictures that would be appriciated.

yes it worth it. not as much on a stock tune but becomes an essential tool when tuning your vehicle. i've installed one but no pics sorry.

hahaha...this dude is everywhere

Are you 100% capable of installing wideband? It's between you and Corea and I know you need the money more than him, I will be getting one sometime over winter so I can get tuned b4 Matt takes off. Steve me and u gotta talk, I gotta get my headlights fixed and I should have my tranny fluid changed just to be safe so lets work out a deal to do both over a weekend or something and I'll hook you up some *cha-ching* for the bank account.

yes i'm capable. who do you think installed travis'. its quite a simple process just unplug the stock o2 sensor, install new sensor. run wiring into interior and run necessary power wire. plug in and turn vehicle on and watch her give you readings.

I installed mine minus the bung welding, if I coulda figured out how to hook up the aux output on the wideband to my stock wiring I would have gone with that.

if your tuning the car yes it is almost a must to have a wideband. it's a good idea if your going to mod the car but if it's stock then probably not where you want to spend your money.

since it's obvious i'm going to need a 3 gauge pillar, any suggestions on wat the 3rd gauge should be? I plan to get a PSI gauge to replace the stock kpa one and then of course wideband i'm sure could go in the middle but what to put at the top.....oil temp? electric? what else can i put there that would be useful to me? At this rate I'm tempted to spend the extra and get the RPD unit now, it has absolutely anything I could possibly want other than data logging.

 

[outtamymind]

depends dude. if you want functionality i would probably go with the interceptor. but if your getting the rpd then i would probably get a pyrometer or egt gauge.

 

[YelloEye]

I'm getting interceptors for my 2 spots, dont need the AEM for my TC since it's already got a sensor.

the RPD has everything I need, i wouldn't need wideband if I got the RPD, that's the point lol

what is a pyrometer and egt gauge?

 

[YelloEye]

egt gauge and sensor: the sensor gets welded into you're header typically to read your "Exhaust Gas Temperature"

Pyro I think is the same thing.....correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[outtamymind]

Ya I'm pretty sure it is but I put both there to cover my ass lol

Yes, a wideband is needed. Unless you don't ever plan on getting tuned. Personally, I'd go with a Autometer Wideband. American Made, you won't need to "port" the A-pillar hole (AEM is larger than your average gauge), and you can get other gauges to match it (ie: other Autometer gauges from the same series, like a Mechanical Boost Gauge and an EGT Gauge).

Yes, they are the same thing. Also a fairly essential tool.

again, the RPD has all of these things and more available on it, I will be getting the RPD.

 

[TurboTechRacing]

PM us with the AEM part number, we will get you the hook up

 

[YelloEye]

Hey what gauge is suggested to read the stock wideband on the SS/TC?

Well isn't that just cool. Did you make this thread? Oh that's right, so I probably wasn't talking to you then, huh?

And I'm almost positive that the RPD does NOT come with an EGT. They might have made revisions to the pre-production model that I played with... but that was not a feature then.

ALSO, the Boost gauge is not accurate with Infiniboost. In fact, most all Electrical Boost Gauges are inaccurate. Mechanical Boost Gauges are the way to go... they are extremely accurate... which is needed. You can be pushing 24-25psi and showing 21-22 (or No Data Available). It also doesn't read vacuum in any way.

You can't see both boost gauge and wideband (or any two things at once). You have to keep flipping around pages for them. Sucks when you're trying to troubleshoot or to monitor VITAL engine statistics like knock (RPD version doesn't work well if at all). It also doesn't have the ability to see/clear CEL's.

I'm seein the same thing USMC, never heard of it having an EGT display. Pretty sure the car doesnt even have an EGT sensor.
