52mm Digital Wideband Gauge:
The 52mm (2-1/16") gauge size is the industry standard for aftermarket gauges, making it compatible with most gauge pods and mounting solutions. The digital display provides high-resolution AFR readings that are easy to read at a glance. The AutoMeter ES series styling features a modern digital display with clean aesthetics that complements any interior.
Includes Bosch LSU 4.9 Wideband Sensor:
The kit includes a genuine Bosch LSU 4.9 wideband oxygen sensor, the industry standard for accurate AFR measurement. The LSU 4.9 is known for its reliability, accuracy, and fast response time. Unlike narrowband oxygen sensors that only read stoichiometric (14.7:1), wideband sensors accurately measure AFR across the entire range from rich to lean.
Accurate AFR Range 10:1 to 20:1:
The gauge accurately displays air/fuel ratios from 10:1 (very rich) to 20:1 (very lean), covering the entire range needed for tuning gasoline engines. This wide range allows you to monitor AFR during all driving conditions, from idle to wide-open throttle. Accurate AFR monitoring is essential for proper tuning and engine protection.
0-5V Analog Output for Data Logging:
The gauge includes a 0-5V analog output that can be connected to an ECU, data logger, or other device for recording AFR data. This output allows you to log AFR alongside other engine parameters for comprehensive tuning and analysis. The analog output is calibrated to the gauge's AFR range for accurate data logging.
Why Monitor Air/Fuel Ratio?
Monitoring air/fuel ratio is critical for:
- Proper Tuning: Ensure fuel delivery matches engine requirements across RPM range
- Engine Protection: Prevent lean conditions that cause detonation and engine damage
- Performance Optimization: Dial in optimal AFR for maximum power
- Fuel Economy: Monitor AFR during cruise for efficient fuel consumption
- Troubleshooting: Diagnose fuel system issues and verify proper operation
