sourcing wideband o2 sensor
ok, i tried the local automotive shops, and they just looked at me like i was crazy. i have also tried doing searches on the board, and couldnt come up with any good advice as to where and what exactly to buy.
so where do i order a wideband o2 sensor? i am leaning towards an autometer sensor because that is the a/f gague that i have. any advice/ideas?
thanks,

Vividracing.com has one under Suby>04WRX>Electronics>Tuning Tools. It is fairly expensive but I don't think you will find a cheap one unless it is used. But if you are going to be modding your car a lot and at different intervals it wouldn't be too horrible to spend 750 for the amount of times you will use it. Plus it is a lot nicer to be able to tune yourself everytime you add something rather than bring it to a shop. Good luck with whatever you choose, if you have more questions feel free to pm me.

budget
i am afraid that is waaay over what i can afford. i currently have an autometer a/f gague, but it is useless with the factory o2 sensor, cant i just get a wideband sensor for use with this gague? i even talked myself into buying the greddy gague for 320, but i thought it came with the sensor also.
i realize you can buy a kit or build a gague yourself, but where else can you get a wideband o2 sensor? thanks,

hmm, I am not sure whether or not you would be able to just put a wideband sensor in and have it read wideband on the gauge. That is a good idea and I don't think I have heard anything about it. I don't know how you wwould go about building one, it seems like you would have to have some pretty sophisticated equip. I am not ever sure how an A/F gauge works in terms of creating a voltage from a specific mixture. Sorry about not helping, but I do commend you on your ideas.

ok
so i got a good deal on the autometer used anyhow, and i am not really worried about ditching it for a different gauge.
so where do i get a wideband gauge for the greddy a/f gauge? the greddy is a wideband gauge, right?
or is my best bet buying a gauge that includes the sensor?
btw: i was looking at this thread:
https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...5&pagenumber=1
and it seemed to indicate that a wideband sensor could be used with the autometer gauge... now that im reminded of the voltage ranges, i realize this doesnt make sense
thanks for the help

good discussion on wbo2 sensors.
some have outboard boxes which will output a variable sweep analog voltage that is proportional to the wbo2 sensor output. in other words, you would be able to use a traditional 0-1v gauge, and it would indicate a true wideband AFR.

If you want to go cheap and building your own, I came across this site during my Honda days.

No not wideband, it's a proprietary sensor that is more responsive/accurate then a normal run of the mill 1V sensor. However, greddy's is still 1V
