Yup, my UEGO was 190 shipped. I would get an LC1 though.

good to see you finally active on here bro...

so if I get a wideband, do I also need an SAFC2?

If you have a wideband, why NOT get an SAFC II to make changes to the air fuel ratio?

We had this convo through girlish text messages the other day, yes please get a wideband and an SAFC II. NEO or a VAFC will work as well but since I know your going to get bitten by the turbo bug someday the SAFC II will let you monitor knock and the others wont.

And if you'll let me put nitrous on your car the SAFC II has the ability to have two fuel maps. One leanish for maDd NA powas and one a little richer for ricer race nights on the bottle.

And like I told you the other day, on my QR in my spec v that was fully bolted, I gained 19hp with installing the NEO and tuning. Granted thats not the norm but I promise you your leaving some power and drivability on the table with your current set up.

IMO while the JWT ECU option is fine for most I've never fully understood how people can get one, install it and call it good. They didnt have your particular car when they programmed it nor are they tuning it under our rather odd climate conditions or at our particular sea level. All factors in tuning a motor.

Perhaps a shitty civic to DD while you mod the type R sentra is in order, sure does alliviate alot of frustrations when you can walk away from the toy and still have a set of wheels to get you from point A to point B!

Wanna trade cars yet?????

I resigned my position as mod on another board so I though I'd whore this one up a little...

This place could use a chatbox IMO though, not a shitty one like the other place though.

Vqman, imma assume street tunning a car is far past ur abilities. Nor do i ever recommend a street tune. a dyno tune is much more percise and reliable. With that being said skip the wideband, buy a safc2 take it to a shop, have them wire it in and tune.

No reason for everyone to complicate vqmans situation. This is your cheapest easiest most reliable option avaliable.

Which forum where you on? Also there is a Chat(0) right next to Members List. There should be someone in there usually, even though it always reads as 0.

This is true, but you will spend $100 per dyno run. Plus Dyno tuning is tuning in ideal situations. I've seen my results vary on street, thus had to pull over and adjust the tune right after the dyno.

Agreed street tuning is as much russian roulet as the real thing!

My garage is your garage Matt, decide what you want to do, bring the shoebox over and I'll install it for you.
