Wideband AFR, which bank?

Not sure if I need 2 Widebands since I've got 2 headers or if not then which bank should I install it in?

Thanks.

You can use one WB for tuning. However, I think the consensus is that the right bank should be used. . .trying to find the post on my350z.com. . .

Also, do you have an ecu that accepts inputs from two widebands? Some of the newer ones do.

If by ECU you mean my car's ECU then I don't know.

If by ECU you mean my sensor then no, it does not accept two widebands so far as I know. It only accepts one if I'm not mistaken and my gauge only has one output.

It is this gauge and sensor setup:

Right on. I've been trying to find reviews of those sensors for ages, as opposed to this old one.

And I was wrong above. . .you should use your single tuning wideband on the driver's side. I shoulda also said engine management, instead of ECU, which I think usually implies the OEM module. I is tired!

Use the Driver side (I think that is Bank2). Bank2 run leaner at WOT so most shop use that for tuning. I have 2 wideband but I Tune on the Driver side and use the Passenger side for monitoring.

^^^^What he said.

BTW, there's a TON of more information for DIY purposes over in the FI section of my350z.com. And since FI kits are 98% the same four our cars and the Zs, you'll find a lot more answers there.

I didn't find the thread either.

How about running two Innovate LC-1 Wideband Controllers and monitor them with only 1 XD-16 Innovate gauge check out the Innovate forums they did it: http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/f...ead.php?t=9030

"You can select any of the channels for display, or you can choose to display the leanest, richest, or average of all the AFR channels" the only thing you will lose is the min/max value.

I didn't know you could do that with the innovate. I'm already in for $239 for the plx so no going back really.

oh and I've got an OBD-II USB scanner and software now that will help me analyze my stock AFRs from my stock wideband in case I have problems so really it's not for diagnosis but just trying to find a way to give myself a "warning" when something may be going incorrectly.
