I want to put the above sensor gauge in, if i buy the full kit will i have everything i need to do it?

 

Should just get an interceptor, it reads A/F ratio and everything else.

 

Yes you will have everything you need. Just have to weld the bung to your downpipe.

That being said you don't really need a wideband O2 gauge as the stock upstream one is wideband. Though there are reasons that you would want a 2nd.

 

Yes you will.

 

i dont understand why id have to weld a bung, wouldnt this o2 senser go in place of the stock one?

 

No. The stock O2 still needs to be there.

As stated above, you can buy an Aeroforce Interceptor that will read A/F ratio from your FACTORY wideband sensor. It will also allow you to read other inputs from the ECM. It will also allow you to read and clear codes.

 

You DNt really want to tap into or swap out your stock o2 sensor... My downpipe had a bun already on it so I used it and kept my stock one in place after that just tap Into a power and ground and your done the white and blue wires you DNt need. And that's states on the instructions as well!!! Installed mines few weeks back and love it even brought the matching digital boost gauge, then for my dash pod I'll have a interceptor installed.

 

does the interceptor read wideband for sure? cause i got the plx dm 100 and it didnt

like instantly plug it in and it will read it?

 

it does read it. i just put 2 interceptors in about a month ago.

i was looking to do the same thing as you with buying a AEM wideband and then i found out theres a wideband from the factory,so i just bought 2 interceptors. too legit!!

and you can read like 30 things on 1 interceptor. all you do is plug it into your ODB2 port

 

I just installed my two interceptors tonight, and it read my A/F ratio no problem.

 

can i show whatever 2 parameters i want at once on the interceptor?

 

like boost and afr

 

It shows 2 at a time and you can cycle up to 4 screens (which would be 8 parameters cycling)

 

Damn that's nice I already invested in two AEM gauges so I'm just gonna get the interceptor to monitor oil temp, IAT, and cycle a couple other things maybe oil pressure..

 

Ive always wondered if the oil temp on the interceptor was accurate.

 

on my two interceptors i have Knock retard/IAT2 and A/F ratio and Coolant temp. but it was too ******* hot to play with it anymore so ill configure it better when it cools down

 

Get the AEM, it saved me a lot of headache when my Upstream o2 sensor went out in the car... I was getting codes saying the car was too lean, yet my AEM was showing pig rich, and you could tell by the smell and smoke the car was piggy. well when I plugged in my computer the front o2 would show the car as lean, never flagged a code for the sensor being bad, just lean.

IMO that would have been an easy diag without the AEM, fuel trims would tell you that it's dumping fuel, smell says dumping fuel, but O2 says lean? something's wrong there

 

I personally agree with this. A seperate wideband isolated from the on board system is ALWAYS a good idea.

Not if the car doesn't come out of open loop due to issues with the o2..

The interceptor is definitely cool, and most of the time is totally fine/accurate, but relying on trims to diagnose a fueling or a/f issue isn't wise.

 

Bingo, it was stuck in Open Loop, which is why it made me question what the issue was

Silly broken car

 

and there ya have it... lol
