    Wideband Air/Fuel Meter + Gauge

    Check it out:



    For those of you who want a cheaper wideband A/F gauge that is actually a gauge and not a LED readout, there you go. I'm planning on getting one for my car as tuning a carb by ear is becoming tiresome.

    Have any of you ever used this meter? Comments?

    I have the PLX M200 on my car now. Its a nice setup. I don't have the gauge, mine has a digital readout on the main processing box. They're nice since it allows you to use the wideband controller for the ecu using the narrowband output. The O2 sensors are a bit more expensive, but its worth it.
    Driving is the only way to go faster....

      tuning a carb period is tiresome :)

      Please tell me yur not talking about your M20....although i have seen a few M20's with 3 dual webbers...and it does look kinda cool.


      Concerning that WB gauge...it is nice for cars running stock Engine management because you dont' need to tap a new bung, just use the NB converter...but there are others out there...like the Innovate LM-1 which many love. I've been saving up for a while to get an LM-1....usually like 300-350$..depending on where you look.

        If you notice my sig, I don't even own an e30. This is on my MG that I was talking about.

        Witht he LM-1 though, it isn't really made for permanant installs. It's more of a tuning tool then a gauge. I want a guage in my car as I need to tune as the weather changes.

        The funny thing about tuning the carb, I took the car to a mechanic when I first got it to let him rejet it and get it tuned correctly. He told me he could do it and didn't know anyone who could. So I went out and learned on my own and now can do it with my eyes closed. lol

          i've been watching the TechEdge wbo2.com project for over a year and was finally able to invest in their special edition 2b0 unit. I like it alot and am VERY happy with it. I have used the LM-1 as well which is an excellent unit but not for permanent installs (as mentioned previously).

          TechEdge has a gauge unit that they will be selling. I would assume that its top quality like the rest of their products:
