I just bought a wideband and wanted to know if its any good wit n/a or can I tune wit it
Are you sure its a real wideband and not a narrowband gauge that are more commonly out there. A wideband is needed for tuning, however without a dyno and ecuflash, then the wideband would be useless for the car
^^ without the stuff to tune it. All it will do is tell you how pig rich these cars run from the factory, and maybe blink a few lights
well its a aem wideband with o2 sensor and my buddy tunes and he has the tantrixs setup.i will be installing headers 3" full exhaust 3" intake. my intake manifold has been ported and polished(and let me tell u do it!!) and i was thinkin of advancin the timing.so wit those mods do u think i can gain some good hp?
are you v6??
In you are i4 i would be careful as the intake manfolds are flimsy and porting it will accelerated it to crack.
Do you plan on advanceing the timing through cam gears or ECU??
to a extent you will pick up some stuff maybe 20-30(and that is being genrous)
na im a v6 and i have already ported and polished the manifold!and yes i do plan on advancing the timing but i need to do more researching first and im not sure if it will be ecu or cam gears.what do u think would be the best option?im sure most of u will say just do a swap but that will be next year i just want to get the most from my 6 for the time being
is there a definition for your v6 rom? I wasnt aware if they had defined the most popular ones
i have a guy who is maken one as we speak.hes been on it for awhile he said he should be done soon.
soon meaning week or so
If you want nothing but power numbers, then yes a dyno is needed...though tuning on the road still proves more efficient to some. If you want peak power tuned, use a dyno, if you want drivability tuned, tune on the road.Quote:

The stock manifold FYI sucks, and you wasted your time porting/polishing that item.Quote:

All of your timing adjustment should be done via the ECU ignition timing for a stock engine. Cam gears adjustment on stock cams won't do much with the OEM 3.0L cams installed, and this is primarily used for aftermarket cams.Quote:

well i guess its best to pu the 2.5 on!!!
shoot i got the AEM wideband and the MAF GENII, still havent went turbo yet and now thinking about parting with it all.
