How to Install Wideband Oxygen Sensor AEM X Series
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- A wideband O2 sensor is a must have for your performance car! It allows you to know the air fuel ratio which gives you an idea of how the engine is running.
In this video I will be showing you how to do a basic install of the AEM X-Series 30-0300. We will go over why we need a wideband O2, gauge placement on the dash, fishing wires, routing wires, welding bung, and basic wiring. Stay tuned for my megasquirt videos where we will learn how to use the analog 5V input for auto tune and O2 feedback (closed loop).
Thumbs up for being smart enough to not heat the sensor up before starting the engine ! That's how most guys damage their WB sensors, then complain when they go bad.
"IT'S NEVER EASY ... IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING!" lol
With this stuff lol
I thought there was more to it but you made it straight forward and easy. Thanks
It can be more complex if you want to data log or have it ran through a stand alone or oem computer
Great video, we just got one and will be installing it this Saturday. I love your comment, “It’s never easy” Thank You for sharing your video.
I'm installing one on my 01 Corolla too right now - what are the odds 😂😂
Playing your How to Fix Playlist on Loop. 👍✅
Sweet. I should probably calibrate my aem, had it for 3 years now and never did it
Yes, I would recommend to do the calibration at least once a year. Personally I replace the sensor itself every year or 2 just for piece of mind.
That’s why the call you angry mechanic because of drill bits... lol
Very informative!
Very helpful, thank you
I was reading the manual and it indicates about installing the O2 sensor at no less than 10 degrees angle to allow condensation to evacuate the sensor. It seems as though you installed yours at around 0 degrees or completely sideways
they indicate this for BEST reading but aslong as its in the general area it can be sideways but you loose some accuracy
Very helpful. Thanks 😁
have been wanting to put these AEM gauges in my car for ever. Lately I have been worried about the many negative reviews I found about the afr gauge. People stating that AEM uses faulty Bosch sensors and that about half of the sold gauges and sensors don't work to begin with, or fail within weeks/months. Since you already fitted them 4 years ago, can you say something intelligent about the quality and life span?
In a nutshell, the harness connectors are of poor quality you have to be careful while installing. The Bosch sensor works fine for several years as long as it's installed in the pipe correctly, ideally in the 12 o clock position so water doesn't build up on it. The lsu 4.9 sensors are more delicate than the 4.2 I notice. If you are using alcohol fuels or just want something more reliable in general the ntk brand sensors are much more durable. I would recommend the haltech ntk controller if you're going that route.
@@angrymechanic5529 great and useful info, thank you so much for your time. 12 o'clock tip brilliant, never thought of that
Hahaha lmo is so funny to watch how you fight and your reaction 🤣
I just bought an oxygen sensor, im confused whether its Wideband or narrow, the part number is NTK 24665.
this was so funny to watch lol
Never drill that fast if you go slow but apply pressure it will go good
My car is running on an old school Microtech ECU. It only runs a closed (or open?) Loop.
So basically I can't input the o2 sensor to the ecu.
Can I just use the sensor to display my afrs on the gauge? Without connecting it to an ECU.
Cheers
Yes, just hook up power and ground. The way it was setup on my vehicle it wasn't hooked up to the ECU either until I went MS3.
@@angrymechanic5529 Thanks for the reply mate and awesome video! I actually noticed today that they have 'no weld' brackets for these... That's super handy, especially for me since where I have to mount it is in a super awkward spot to weld a bung in haha
So I Can plug power only (black and Red)? I have old, carburated car without all those fancy computers onboard :D
Yes that's right. The other outputs are used to tell a computer what the wideband is reading.
@@angrymechanic5529 much thanks! Its gonna Be my very first tuning using wideband O2 sensor. Wish me luck!
@@mr.sharik It will be a lot better to tune a carb based on actual data rater then going by just vacuum and smell :D The wideband is also an excellent tool to verify that the jetting of the carb is perfect for your setup.
Is there one that connects via bluetooth to a phone instead of using the gauge? I want one for an obd1 bmw
Obd just get a fixd obd sensor. It is like 20 bucks and it tells you everything
So all that is done on a Corolla?.. WOW ... ! I like the "complain" moments...! LOL
Caldina 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Any sensor would work or it must be aem sensor specific?
You can use Bosch 4.9 sensor as a replacement
Sonda AEM aliexpress??
My sensors are constantly going out aem just junk now days?
14:07 Do you know the part number or the name of this cable? Thank you
If its the cable that goes from the back of the gauge to the sensor itself part number is 35-3427
@@angrymechanic5529 I found. Its the power cable, 35-3430. Thank you.
Hi please send me a link of model number for this gauge
I'm looking at www.ebay.com/itm/AEM-30-0300-X-Series-Wideband-Gauge-AFR-O2-UEGO-Air-Fuel-Ratio-2-1-16-NEW-MODEL/361657509780?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D5861cb25c02b45498643a0d5ec1d91c9%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D163635825384%26itm%3D361657509780%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A8930a4e7-2ff9-11ea-801c-74dbd180f522%7Cparentrq%3A776272d516f0a9cb985cdd12ff8f5170%7Ciid%3A1 ... Geebus, what a link
How do you like the gauge so far?
Its been excellent! Good response time compared to it's predecessor. Using it for the past year with good results.
@@angrymechanic5529 Thanks, I've been looking to get a new one.
Its easier to crawl under a dash if you take the seat out. Fyi
Or pull it (push it) all the way back...!
who put a 3s in a corolla lol. Unless its a special edition I thought only celicas and mr2s got them.
14:40 is the only usefull part of the video
What engine is that dude?
3sgte
Well that was useless. Skipped over the wiring for logging purposes entirely, which is the only reason I came here. I've watched half a dozen videos the exact same now. If you werent doing the full install then you should have said so. Smh
thx for saving me wasted time i hate videos with no explanation
no wait I take that back, your video sucks becuase you ended so soon. THe sensor ground? is this strait to ground? 0-5v is the only datalogging wire correct?
