[email protected] is my paypal addy.

The only person whos paid is frosti but I have his pretty much done, just waiting on the connector for the O2 sensor. Im waiting for chuy's guy to resend payment since I did a refund. But I got all the time for more orders. Send payments whenever you want guys just be courteous to the people who have paid and not to make them wait too long.

Sorry for the newb question... BUT, here is what i plan on using it for, and would like to know if you think it can hold to the abuse..

My car RANDOMLY cuts out when driving. I've replaced almost everything possible, and still no answer. I want to use a wideband to see what the AFR is doing when it cuts out. The only problem is it cuts out like every other day of driving. SO, my q's are

1. can it withstand 2 days constant use without destroying the wideband sensor?

2. Will enough wiring be available for me to run it into my car? It seems like some have short wiring because they are intended for use outside the car while tuning.

Thanks

logik23 · 10-20-2007, 02:34 AM

The box and the display stay inside the car, the sensor goes into the engine bay. The sensor comes with enough wiring to go to the engine bay.

champagnes13 · 10-20-2007, 04:50 PM

money sent $110usd via paypal

thanks

MegasquirtCA · 10-21-2007, 08:02 PM

Hey guys just got back from disney world. I just checked paypal.

Champagnes13 has paid.

champagnes13 · 10-21-2007, 08:03 PM

woohoo!

whats the eta on this jammy? no rush just curious.

MegasquirtCA · 10-21-2007, 08:13 PM

Once I place the order for the boards and components it takes about 6 business days to arrive. Than 1 day to assemble, make the case, test, than following day off to shipping. The only thing that can make the order take longer is when I order the parts from the Volkswagen stealership.

gotta240 · 10-21-2007, 09:26 PM

Sorry, one more question.

I am a completely computer illiterate fool. I'm lucky i know how to log on to this site. In all honesty, is this a fairly strait forward wideband to use, or would i be better off getting a more expensive, idiot proof model?

All widebands are practically the same in the sense of installation except the gauges one.

Heres how the one im offering works. You screw the wideband sensor into a O2 bung on the downpipe preferably 36" after the turbo. This is required on all wideband kits as the heat from the turbo will effect the O2 sensor causing false readings.

The O2 sensor has a plug on the end, my kit will have a female end plug and you clip them together. The harness will be long enough about 5-8ft so the display will be inside the car. The last thing you need to do is give the unit a power and ground. Their are several ways to do it, wiring up the 2 wires using those cigarette lighter connectors, or wire up ring terminals and attach it to the battery terminals, shoot even attaching a 9volt battery will work but after 15mins the battery drainage will cause the unit to give false readings, soo make sure it gets a clean 12volt system.

jesuchristo · 10-21-2007, 09:35 PM

I think any datalogging wideband is going to require some amount of computer literacy to be used to it's full potential.

If all you want to do is look at the number while yer driving, then it probably won't require much computer work :P

I try to make sure the systems are as plug n play as possible.

gotta240 · 10-21-2007, 09:56 PM

umm..... it looks like a box with some wires. You can put that display wherever you want, and the box wherever you want (as long as the cord reaches and it has fan access) so its really up to you what it looks like.

Theres a pic of a wideband display in place of the cluster vents of an s13 in the interior thread.... ah here I found it...

Not my pic....

LOL bahahahaha I already have enough paintball stuff, plus I work at a paintball store and the owner hooks me up.

I take pics of the stuff I built kinda like a photo portfolio.

satal95 · 10-22-2007, 11:03 AM

so the turn around time is around a week to get on once paid for or do u have to wait for the parts to come in right now? Also posted a link on another nissan site so hopefully u get some customers from that site as well

MegasquirtCA · 10-22-2007, 03:00 PM

I'll pm you the tracking number when I have it shipped out, gonna do it via the Flate Rate box.

Gotta240 and Champagne I placed the order for the kits.

gotta240 · 10-22-2007, 08:59 PM

MegasquirtCA · 10-25-2007, 06:46 PM

I figure I update this. Gotta240 and champagne the manufacture has shipped the boards out today to me. so I should be expecting them soon.

As for the rest I will not be doing the group buy anymore. Instead I will be doing individual orders so when you pay I order the parts right then and their. Price will remain the same as I've been able to eliminate the fan, the part I was worried about doesnt get too hot. And ordering the parts locally through the VW dealership saves on shipping costs.

gotta240 · 10-25-2007, 07:37 PM

Thanks for the update.. So that means no fan? I plan on using mine for long periods of time(like hours on end...i know, i know, bad for the sensor). Will this be prone to overheat with this usage? Could i send you a couple extra bucks to put the fan in for extra safety?

thanks!

MegasquirtCA · 10-25-2007, 11:26 PM

I actually left mine over night with it running didnt seem to do much. The only problem is the fan im using has a really weak ass cfm so its really not doing much. But if you want yes I can install a fan for you it would also be a bigger one, it wont be extra either my bro works at best buy so the fan will be dirt cheap.

gotta240 · 10-25-2007, 11:42 PM

That would be cool if you could put it in there. I'm probably being over paranoid, but i figure better safe than sorry. It wont change the size of the case or anything else, right? Also, if you end up needing a couple extra bucks for it, let me know. I dont expect things for free and i really appriciate you doing this as it is. You're doing the 240 community a HUGE favor.

Nope the case will stay the same unless I can find one thats shorter. The fan in the one I originally made which is the pics you see is a 40mm fan, I intended to use a 60mm fan which puts out like 12cfm I believe.
