My new Wideband (JAW) what ya guys think?

[MegasquirtCA]

Attention for the people who are interested. The manufacture has got the boards in stock.

So if you like to purchase the kits you can do so. However I am leaving for South America this Sunday the 23rd and I come back Jan 5th. So I wouldnt be able to start on them till the 6th but they will be there waiting for me.

[frosti108]

when you say to warm it up before calibrating... do you mean just give it power and ground or do u mean i have to let it sit in the car while its running?

[MegasquirtCA]

Give it power and ground. Dont install the sensor until your done calibrating.

When you give it power and ground with the sensor connected, it'll take about 1-2mins and you'll notice the sensor will get hot. Be careful cause it can burn you.

After your done calibrating, install in exhaust and off you go.

[logik23]

How do you know when the sensor needs to be replaced? Does it tell you when you try to calibrate it?

[champagnes13]

any word on when i should be receiving my wideband?

Usually when a wideband starts going bad, it'll jump back and forth from "normal" readings to "extreme" readings, and since you won't have changed anything, you'll know it's the sensor (instead of "OMG I must have blown something because my A/F's keep jumping from 13.5 to 7 every 2 secs during a cruise down the highway").

Most burned-up widebands will still calibrate fine, in my experience.

[MegasquirtCA]

Alright I got champagnes13 and the homeboy from Canada packages were shipped out earlier in the week.

The only one left is Santiago, his is only delayed because the display was out of stock, they were restock before I left, so its already on its way. Once I get it in I just have to pop it in and package up the kit and off it goes and that will be the last one.


The reason I couldnt get it out the day before my vacation was I tried something new for the harness and it didnt quite work out the way I wanted. So I ran out of time, I was working on them till 4am and I had to leave at 6am since it was a international flight.

Anyways got backed fixed the problem and shipped out after I tested them.

[MegasquirtCA]

Just like jordan said, it'll jump around to extremes. However though if you have the sensor to close to the turbo, extreme EGT's will cause the sensor to give extreme readings as well.

A fouled sensor will cause slow readings.

[S13Boosts]

thats nice, for a diy kit very clean and neat!

[MegasquirtCA]

when I do version 2 they will be a lot more professional but also a bigger price tag.

[champagnes13]

wideband recieved jan 22nd. thanks.

[MegasquirtCA]

Hope you like it man, like I said I tried something different with the harness and I wasnt happy so I went back to the way I did the others, aparently experimenting bit me in the ass and I couldnt ship them off before my vacation.

Anyways enjoy, hit me on this thread or PM for any technical support.

[S14DrifTmATic]

by any chance are these kits still available

[MegasquirtCA]

I do these kits by per order. Send me a pm. I'm working on one right now and will have that finished for another customer, I just received another order. So if you like send a pm and we can go from their.

[Harris]

I shall be contacting you on the 15th regarding this. I know that I talked to you a while back about this, but I wasn't able to come around to working on my car until just recently.

[frosti108]

ok so to calibrate it i should be giving it power and ground and then hit the calibrate button? will anything happen when i hit the button?

i tried to calibrate it without giving power and ground, but when i hit the button nothing happened. haha

[MegasquirtCA]

Yes to calibrate the sensor you must give ground and power. Give it a few minutes and the sensor will get hot, becareful it can burn you. After its nice and hot hit calibrate while connected to the computer. You should probably be at a reading of 34.8 I think this means your full oxygen lean. once calibrated you can install into exhaust and give it power and ground off you go.


If you have questions and I dont respond fast enough the CD has FAQ and manual.

If you lost the CD heres the file just install and the manual is installed at the same time.

is the new version out yet? and if is everything in stock how long would it take to make it?i might be intrusted in getting one

[frosti108]

lol sorry for posting that same question again i didnt realize i had already asked. the only computer i can get the software to work on is one at my job LOL they think im uploading viruses and shit

thanks again man

[mifesto]

just to add my penny, i've had some experience w/ wideband with my supraTT and evo and both case, you do NOT leave a wideband o2 in the bung unpowered for long durations. it will simply burn it out if its unpowered. also u have to be careful to power it up AFTER the car starts or it will get cold shock from the initial moisture that blows out of the exhaust at startup. also bung must be above the 3 o'clock or 9oclock position to minimize the moisture it will be exposed to. bung should be before the CAT but close to it as possible (rough rule of thumb) to be far from the turbo

I havent had a chance to work on version 2. I have several projects I'm working like version 2, Honda ecu conversion, my powdercoating, work, school.

However I do hope to have a prototype done soon and what I'll slowly do is build stock from smaller items to the actual PCB.

[frosti108]

alright i just calibrated it the right way lol

heat was at 16, i hit calibrate. it said to make sure its in free air and the heat value is correct, and then i hit ok. so thats all i need to do before it goes in the car right?

ill let you know how she works for me

[gunluvS14]

good stuff

thats correct. make sure you turn the wideband on first before starting the car. Other than that your good to go man.

[frosti108]

works good. just need to weld on the rest of my exhaust now lol

the sensor is so close to the end of the pipe that atmospheric air messes up my reading under partial throttle and below. but i tuned for WOT so far!

now im going to mount it up all nice in my dash somehow

Good write up.

[MegasquirtCA]

I just want everyone to know I will not be assembling anymore kits for any members of this forum. Im sorry it has come to this as quite a bit of you guys are very supportive and the customers who waited patiently I thank you all and will still be offering technical support. As for the customers who purchased a few weeks ago, I will continue support and finish your orders.

Again I apologize to the people who were planning on having me assemble them wideband kits but unfortunatly some members on here ruined it for you guys and Im not gonna continue to deal with the drama.

[GSXRJJordan]

Sorry to hear that Megasquirt... I know there are some ignorant folks that bandwagon-bash, and some people just aren't patient once they pay money for something. In my opinion, you've been straightforward with everything and offer a good product/service. Hopefully you'll keep checking your PM's
