Sunpro Sport ST air/fuel ratio gauge - Toyota Yaris Forums

rkvin21 · 07-31-2009, 01:02 AM

yes I know I will need a wideband sensor when I have a turbo but for now I want to know in general where the car should be. Since it will probably be several months, more than likely a year, before I get enough money for a turbo I can see spending $40 to learn where the car should be and how it acts before spending around $230 on the good stuff. Thank you for your concern ChinoCharles

Do you realize that the information that this gauge will give you is prety much useless...

I would try to get my money back and get a a boos, oil presure or water temp guage instead. All of them will be useful later on.

A narrow band AF gauge that it doesn't even give you the data in a digital format has no benefit at all... it won't tell you where the car should be and won't tell you how the car reacts. Only a true wideband can do that.

My next gauge will be an oil pressure gauge but I think that a boost gauge before you have a turbo would be a little tacky don't you think lol. Don't worry I will get a wideband eventually. Put it this way, I gained valuable experience working with the wiring and learned wear my sensors are while having something to look at with pretty lights for awhile

Also I can probably take apart my dash in like 2 minutes now that I have had it on and off so many times

where your car should be is 14.7:1

where your car should be on boost is between 11.1:1 and 12:1 depending on boost levels.

there, free advice ;)
