Did any car come with a wideband o2 stock? I figured if so, my bud at az said he'd slip me one and then I'd fab or buy the rest.

 

1993 Civic VX, a bunch of newer Hondas (V6 accord) sorry I'm not a honda guy.

VW Golf R32
1.8T

lots of new VWs.

BUT, you can't just use the sensor, it takes some circuitry to run it and figure it all out, you have to buy a kit from someplace like AEM, Zeitronix, or Innovate. If he gets you one from a VW 1.8t, then the rest of the stuff from Innovate Motorsports will be about 150 bucks. The Honda ones are different and I am pretty sure MOST of the aftermarket kits use the Bosch sensor that VW uses.

 

vx's dont come with wideband, they come with a regular o2 sensor with a little bit larger range than standard rich/lean. Most VW's past 03 carry wideband o2's.

 

All RSX's come with a WB sensor. Civic HX's, porche's, and some others also.

 

It's a 5 wire 0-5 volt sensor that was used in the DIY-WB O2 project which needs a driver to run the sensor, it's a wideband. I can't link you to the site because it's gone, I think due to the low prices of the new WB setups. A Bosch wideband is essentially a standard O2 with a pump cell in it to operate also. The NTK L1H1 is a wideband sensor....

 

What is the model # of those bosch ones then that come in the Zeitronix and Innovate kits? Or what dubs came with that model?

 

No, it's a closed loop current device, not a voltage device. That's where the controller comes in.
