anyone know the compenents ill need to make a wide band o2 sensor? and how to put it together?

 

Go here:

www.diy-wb.org

They sell bare PCBs along with parts kits. For the sensor there is another thread (active today) for purchase:

Is there anyone selling assembled boards? I have virtually no experience soldering, so if I could purchase an assembled board than I would definately be a buyer.

Anyone interested in making a couple of dollars to assemble it?

By the way I might be able to have a source for the NTK Sensors for under $150.00 USD...I'll know by Monday

 

The board is pretty easy, everything is layed out nicely and you can always practice on something else first so give it a shot and just take your time and i think you'll find you can do it.

 

so a novice should be able to build this? I have a soldering gun, and I am a very capable person, just don't want to build it and it doesn't work!!!

Also what interest would there be in a NTK sensors for $150.00 USD? I might have a small supply available to me(working on it as we speak). I would need to get solid confirmations, after I confirm the availability...but how many of you guys would be interested?

 

Yes I think so, like i said take your time. Solder the resistors on first, then the caps, then the transisters. Maybe even group all the parts and stick them in a styrofoam piece, you know all the 1k res. together, etc. Make sure you check the resistance on the resistors unless you like guess the color bands.

 

OK, I will check my source for the O2 Sensor...if that works out I'll order a parts kit and pcb and start assembling.

I read another post that it's possible to capture the WB readings via the ecm and display the readout in a ALDL software like Craig Moated ECM852!!!! That'll be real trick!!

I am currently looking to purchase a wideband o2 so i cna build the kit as well(or talk my electronic freak buddy into it).

If u can get them at 150 i would almost positively buy one
please let me know
greatly appreciated

It's really against the agreement to pay for having the board soldered up. However bartering is fair game.

I'm no EE, not even close, and my first board worked. Even bartered a few away.

It's meant to be educational. Soldering is a good skill to have uf you're going to be working on EFI stuff anyway.

BTW, read the site, and a soldering iron will work better then a gun. RS has soldering irons that will get you by.

 

alright cool. so they sell kits with all the parts and its up to whoever buys it to assemble? thats not bad at all, we did taht in electronics tech with kits we bought. i know i could assemble it. so what is the total cost for the WBO2 and the interface? also after i have it in could i just hook a volt meter up to it and have a friend hold it and see where my WOT A/F ratio is?
