Guys,
I'm buying an AFR gauge soon and would value your comments and experiences on which make & model to buy. I see they vary in price, my budget is around £200 or less.
Thanks in advance.
Woofwoof.

aem, about 150, most reliable ones out there for the price, uses a bosch 6 wire sensor, controller is self contained in the gauge.
recommend by my mapper.

If you do go for an AEM brand gauge, make sure it's digital and not Analogue, my Analogue one is a proper mare to read. Very useful tool though! Been extremely reliable over the last 40k or so too.  |

I used to use innovate but the aem has proved to be much more reliable and never needed to re calibrate one yet , only downside is they use the same Bosch uego sensor but have their own specific plug so if you do need to change it only the aem one will fit without chopping a bit from a car harness to use the standard oval plug fitting

I use an Innovate. It's been very accurate (every time it's been on the dyno it's read the same as the dyno one. Needed a new sensor after the original died the heat death of a thousand suns from being baked in rotary furnace turbo heat. Lasted a good four years or so before it carked it though  You can see it here on the bottom left. Comes with choice of white or black dials and an optional chrome bezel, etc. Only thing I'd say is it's a bit strident; quite bright and flashes about a lot, so you wouldn't want it right in your line of sight.

I'd recommend the PLX range of wide bands. Very good finish,very easy to read and nice connections. and the guys at Track n Road use one. If it's good enough for them then that's all the proof I need  |

thats the one I have, and Sandy brown reccomends, my friend only had a problem with his as he welded the boss in the wrong place and flattened the lambda itself getting his 205 onto a plant trailer! |

I have the innovate mentioned above in my 924. Seems to do the job. Has data logging and some fancy software that I don't understand too.

Innovate Mtx-l wins my vote. It's got the fastest reaction time out of all the widebands currently on the market and uses the bosch lsu 4.9 sensor so it's easy to get replacements. Easy to use, calibrate and setup too.

Too many projects, not enough time.

Thanks for all your comments guys. I made a decision (not always a clever thing for me to do!) and bought the same one as Adam's above. Got it for 150 including delivery so happy enough with that. Thanks again. Woofwoof. |
