Hey i am buying guages for my car and i need to know if the interceptor guage sends any signal that I can interperit as a a/f reading I don't need a 300 aem guage if i can get a ballpark figure from these guage like mass air flow readings. I don't know please help asap.

 

The Interceptor does not read A/F.

You can go cheap and get a narrow-band A/F gauge but it's not accurate.

You can send the A/F signal from a wideband to display on the interceptor but it doesn't read A/F by itself.

 

I thought i read somewhere one of the readings that the guage outputs can be interpritted as an a/f readout.

 

Not that I know of but I could be wrong.

I asked this question a while ago and everyone told me it won't read A/F.
It will only display it if you want it to but the signal comes from another gauge.

That's what I was told by everyone. If this read A/F nobody would buy the AEM wideband.
I had to buy it too because of this. Now I have both AEM wideband and an Interceptor.

 

I believe you dont have to have a WB gauge but you do have to have a WB sensor to use with the interceptor. It has inout for 0-5v i believe. so you would just need a WB O2 sensor to link to the interceptor plus a bung to install the new sensor. Thats the least expensive route I can think of other than buying a whole new WB setup gauge and all.

 

That's kind of what i'm trying to say. The wire connected to the o2 sensor that you get with a wideband gauge.

Guess that's not enough.

 

yea i got a price for that it was 190 b/c it needs some kind of converter. But i will have 2 guages aeroforce and a tune on a dyno with an a/f reading for tuning but if i leave everything alone my a/f shouldn't change so i guess i'm not gonna buy it. I will have 60 pounders and a 2.7 so my a//f shouldn't be a big deal.

 

No no no...not the case. The analogue inputs on the Interceptor read 0-5 mV. You need an output that is compatible. The o2 sensor alone will not be able to be read by the Interceptor. If it were that easy, the AEM wouldn't cost $300 US would it? AEM WB is your best choice because then you can LOG your A/F ratios for 60 seconds with the Interceptor and read it back. That's the idea I believe.

 

I guess im under the impression there is a way to wire the O2 sensor diretcly to the Interceptor. Or do you have to have a gauge to translate a signal first? Im not sure as I have yet to install either but will be doing so in the spring so any information learned here I can use as well.

 

ah ha that clears it up! Thank You sir!

 

It's worth running both. In your case, 2.7" pulley with 60lb. injectors, you shouldn't worry. That's pleanty of fuel.

 

Glad I could help...I tried that same shortcut myself

 

thats what i'm saying i'll just buy the dual interceptor thanks guys!
