Jim,

Steve wants the WB so he can tune more accurately.  The WB allows him to
have an accurate AFR anywhere between AFR=10 and AFR=20.  The narrow band
are optimized for the AFR=14.7 ratio that is ideal for emissions compliance,
any extrapolation of their response curve beyond that narrow range is
inaccurate.  The narrow band 02 is only used by the factory ECU during
closed loop - low power use.  During WOT the WB rules because you can adjust
your fuel tables to achieve whatever AFR the engine combo likes.

He's trying to incorporate the NB operation also to let the factory ECU work
normally during low power.  Some of the store-bought units do that NB
operation also.

Steve,

Some of the store bought units have really come down in price, I think $350
is the low end.

Another thought, for $6 and some welding you can add a third bung and run
the factory NB in their stock location, put any WB in the third bung and
tune away.  That's what I do.  I have a DIY-WB permanently installed and let
the factory NB stay in their usual location.

  Pardon me for just jumping in here... whats the problem with NB O2 sensors
and why would you want WB O2's????

    with some additions for another 0-1V out for PCM to control from, it

the

above
    mentioned control circuit won't work. i can find no sources for specs on
    LSU4. anybody have any info that might help? that would be really
fantastic.
    i have my eye on a sanner/tuner for my car that has 3 additional A/I's(2
for
    WB and 1 for whatever i want)so i can do some tuning. thanks for any and
all
    help. steve
