Wideband O2 or EGT for max tuning?

[Nate Stuart]

AFAIK the wide-band sensors work on a 0-5v scale, whereas the 'normal' O2
sensors are in the 0-1v-ish range. So no, unless you have a special gauge (
and I think some sort of driver is needed to make the sensor work properly)
then no it will not work with your standard gauge. I too am starting to look
into this. Tuning with a hit or miss O2 sensor really doesn't bode well with
me. I'll let you know what I turn up. If I recall there was some talk of
using these on the diy-efi lists, hmm, I'll hafta have a looksee...
