o2 sensor 280zxt swap

[Ben's Z]

Should I plan on using an OE o2 sensor or a wideband for my 280zxt swap in to my 77? I using the factory ecu with a Bell RRFPR, stock injectors, FMIC and exhaust.

Thanks.

Original type is best because the factory ecu isn't compatible with a 0-5v type sensor.

I have an Innovate LC-1 and it has multiple (2?) configurable outputs. You can have it send a narrowband signal to your ECU while sending a wide band signal to a gauge or another device. I believe it can datalog as well but i use megasquirt for that. It's a nice piece of equipment that gets underutilized in my current setup.

 

That being said, if you're sticking with the factory setup, tuning is pretty limited. All you could really do is hook up a gauge to learn your AFR under boost and adjust your FPR accordingly but it might not be worth the 200 for the wideband just for that.

If you have a stock O2 sensor, use it until you're ready to start tuning. If you have to buy one - don't. Put the money towards a wideband. I use an MTX-L, VERY nice unit for the price (~$170). Gauge & Controller in one, Top quality components, Bosch wideband sensor screws right in (and a replacement sensor costs less than a M30 heated O2 Sensor...), and it has a simulated narrowband output to feed your ECU.

Don't have any O2 right now.
