Always run my PLX. Narrow band simulation on a 40 minute fully warm run: low is .105V, avg .645V and high .980V, the stock narrow band is .080V, .648V and .965V respectivly. Seems like a .003V difference on average.Originally Posted by 5.7ute

Another vote for PLX- not sure how they do it but it no cal, just right on.

It's hard to here sarcasm in text... But you're right - something is bad wrong in the WB calibrations. The only way to confirm your calibration is to test against a known mixture.Originally Posted by Redline Motorsports
If you carefully look at the connector of a 5 wire O2 sensor you'll commonly see 6 or more pins. the extra pin or pins contain a component that the manfacturer selected during test so that fixed calibration electronics have a chance of being close. Calibrating to 20.9 in free air should make for a more accurate system. It is possible to obtain known sample gas to test and calibrate measurement systems but it's neither inexpensive nor easily used. Measuring at the end of the exhaust system gives misleading results whenever the flow is low enough and the time between pulses is long enough that air is drawn back into the pipe.
I believe that a Hariba is a odd 4 wire narrow band sensor that is held to tight enough specifications that it can be used for wider band measurements. A modern 5 wire sensor system should be more accurate over a wider AFR range.

My car runs best when my Dynojet WB indicates around 11.8. Is that the true a/f ratio? Probably not. The truth to me is the time slip, so I guess I really view it as a tool to compare changes. A rough analogy would be flowing a head on my flow bench and then flowing on another bench. No two benches read the same, so which one gives you the real #?
11.8..............I hope its boosted! In my experience there is never really any "big" power in the AFR but its key to providing a mixture that gives the cleanest burn and allows for cylinder cooling.Originally Posted by VHR
I disagree about the varience. AFR is AFR. Its a ratio of something and shouldn't vary at specific ratios. Same thing with the flow bench. Dyno's are another story since they conditions are much harder to control.
Bottom line is it would be great to have some kind of test tube device that can produce an engineered AFR to calibrate these units!

I really dont know what to say, however you should find this discussion illuminating. http://www.tractorsport.com/cgi-bin/...ikonboard.cgi?
I just realized I messed up the link, go to flowbench general and rear the top thread about the plates.
i am curious to see the outcome of this. I know right now I have an LM-1 and it says my truck runs at idle at 14.63:1. I am going to try re-calibrating using the oxygen generator at work. I know that was tested to put out 96%pure oxygen and 4% mixed atmospheric gases. if i fill up a bag straight from the generator, i should have that known mixture. I am going to see if this changes what the sensor say's my truck runs at idle. hopefully i can get some understanding from this. I was always suspect of what was said above. Is my thinking right or way off??
