If you're planning to use an aftermarket wideband, I would HIGHLY recommend using the PLX.

Is there a reason why you recommend them?

Also, what about the factory o2 not reading below 11.5? I have never been able to datalog below 11.4 @ WOT, but a few other people have posted that they can read to 10.8.

We recommend them because we have seen the fewest issues with them and they are very simple to use and connect. We have seen countless problems with the AEM widebands.

The OEM wideband seems to be very accurate and in my opinion is the best wideband to use since it will allow you to run in closed loop, and a aftermarket one will not.

Hummm.....I've installed six AEM UEGO's and never had a single problem with a single one. I guess I've been lucky.

You still didn't answer my question about the stock wideband and how low it can read. I understand you say it's the most reliable, but if it only reads to 11.5, it makes it difficult to tune nitrous.

For tuning at AF ratios under 11.5 you should use an aftermarket wideband as the stock AF sensor was designed for the sort of AF ratios seen in a NA car. I wouldn't trust the stock SF sensor readings for tuning my nitrous.

ive never had a problem with the 4 UEGO's ive dealt with either. i have an aftermarket A/F ratio gauge and sensor as well as stock rsx-s , and they both read the same down to the point the stock one wont go any lower. ill trust that.
