Install A/F Gauge for s14 Sr20det

Hello,

I have a s13 with a s14 zenki sr20det in it. I bought a megan racing air/fuel gauge for it a long time ago not even really thinking about what I was doing.

I hear a lot about skinny o2 sensors, fat ones and widebands.

few questions here:

is a fat o2 sensor the same as a wideband sensor?

This is the gauge I got here
http://www.meganracing.com/product.a...d=681&catid=76

It says I can just splice the gauge right into the o2 sensor or ecu.

Does anyone know if the o2 sensor on an s14 sr20det is compatiable with this gauge or if I have to get another sensor and put it into another bung on the downpipe?

Thanks

No
Yes it will work with the s14 sr O2 sensor
Yes, You should get a wideband O2 sensor and gauge and mount the sensor in another bung.

Thanks for the quick reply. That sounds like good news to me. I am on a budget at the moment so at least I know I can splice the gauge to the stock sensor and then later get a wideband sensor.

Does this mean that the stock s14 sr o2 sensor I have is a narrowband sensor?

Also, later when I get a wideband sensor, do I need a controller for it?

Yes, most wideband kits include the controller, some also come with gauges

So if the stock sensor is narrowband then my gauge might not work with it? I can't find and info on what my gauge can read

I'm sure that Megan gauge is a blinkity blink gauge. If not I would still get a better wideband.

It is a narrow band gauge and will sorta kinda work with your O2 and ecu

Buy a wideband kit. It comes with a sensor and gauge. Weld in a new bung in your down pipe, screw the sensor in, hook up the gauge.

I sell these. Shoot me a PM if you need one.

I will eventually, but I have stretched my budget for now so it will have to wait
