AEM Uego Wideband

[Scoobler]

I have recently bought a AEM Uego Wideband - it has got an analogue output for a standard ECU, the instructions tell you how to set the output up for an AEM ECU but nothing else. Does anyone happen to know what the setting needs to be for a Motronic ECU? I have read it will do "0-5v linear, 0-5v someothers, and the narrow band 0-1v linear". Are any of these any use? I did get an extra bung to weld in but seems odd to have an accurate sensor just to display on a gauge and till have the narrowband for the ecu?

bttt

as said in pm the ecu wont see the a wideband signal anyway. feel free to post my reply in here for other to view/repsond to

can you confirm why it would not work? im orderin an innovate wideband tonight and it states it has an narrowband output to simulate a std narrowband o2 sensor, why would the motronic not see this if it is a replica singal of what the std o2 would show??

[rodgerq]

yeah the ecu will see the narrowband output of the wideband sensor but it will be no more accurate than the standard bosch sensor as the ecu cant understand a wideband input, only narrowband. plus the wideband sensors dont like the heat so the standard placement isnt ideal - im talking from experince of a sensor lasting 6 months here

Its the 0-1V one you want.

Typically set at around 0.2V = 14AFR and 0.8V = 15AFR

The specifics values are far less important than you would think though providing 0.5V is coming in at around the 14.5 - 14.7 region

Ive killed sensors in less than 6 mionutes hard use on my cossie, let alone 6 months.

If you are using the standard location, I would recomend strongly you get an innovate heatsink bung extender!

Since using one of those, ive not killed another sensor AT ALL.

[rodgerq]

yeah i saw they heatsinks on ebay a while back, a good idea. actually forgot about them there

With something so important, I would avoid "cheap" ebay ones.

Id only buy from a seller I trust.

Why can't he just leave the standard one in and put the w/b somewhere safer?

Thats the best way of doing it, but some people seem to be terrified of welding a bung in on this site so ive given up trying to promote that over here and I only say that on www.vauxsport.com now lmao

[rodgerq]

its the way i suggested to the guy via PM last night

rodgerq, you could make your own, there's a guide in the XD16 information pack, that's what I've done:

Ah, I thought I was missing something lmao

That a good way of DIYing it.

Id still sooner have the bung though, it doesnt just diccipate heat, it also limits the gas flow through the sensor to limit damage even more.

Cheers to rodgerq for the pm, messaged him from a previous post of his. What it is with the AEM uego controller, it will either give out a 0-5v or a 0-1v output, each one has two modes, i.e. 0 = lean and 1or5 is rich, OR 0 = rich and 1or5 is lean.

So in actual fact chip's reply gave me what I needed to choose the right mode for the AEM/Motronic relationship, however seeings as both have said weld on and run both sensors I will do that.

Cheers guys
