View Full Version : Wideband o2 - fixed install

Been searching around for information, but haven't found anything conclusive yet.

Essentially, looking to hear from all who run wide band o2 setups in their car(s) all the time. From my side of the table, once the tune is right (WOT, part throttles, decel etc), the narrowband is usually alright for keeping things like idle under control or anything else that needs to be 14.7 or close.

How fast will most wideband sensors likely burn out? Do the Bosch ones have better longevity? Is it worth having in a fixed setup just to keep an eye on things, or is it just going to burn up too fast?

Thanks,
Ben

My wide band uses the same 02 as used by VW/Audi in production cars. I'd surmise the
longevity isn't an issue.
