[Diy_efi] Wide Band Sensor - recent experiences ?

[Mike]

Hi Chaps,

Exploring upgrading the EFI in my vehicle to handle other liquid
fuels and one of the issues is a wide band oxygen sensor, so I'm
asking the following questions from anyone on this group in
respect of your recent experiences with any aftermarket commercial
products etc

1.      Overall cost of a sensor and driver board to either use it
        as a tuning aid or for dash display ?

2.      Long term reliability of most recent type of sensors ?

3.      Resistance of contemporary sensors to handle combustion
        byproducts from fuels such as ethanol, isopropanol, methane,
        LPG, methanol etc in terms of reliability, calibration etc ?

4.      Feasability of using the wideband sensor in an EFI controller
        that functions close to wide open throttle or perhaps higher load
        than appears that the normal narrow band systems function ?
