Title: Aem wideband
Post by: wotugonado on May 29, 2016, 15:27
Anyone have one of these fitted ? If so did you need to buy the longer wiring loom for the sensor to reach the gauge ?
Like to know if I need the longer wiring loom before I order.

I have AEM failsafe, didn't get anything in addition to what it came with, not sure which loom length it was though..

Where did you mount your gauge mate ? I'm looking at the dash cubbie or drivers pillar, do you think it will reach ?

I put it on the top / left of the speedo dial etc... reached there okay, can't remember how much cable was free.. sorry.. but it seemed pretty generous.

Great thanks, that's the general area I'm looking at putting mine.

My boost gauge is in my centre cubby and that is where my afr and oil gauges will go too.
I like a nice clean look.
I fancy the innovate gauges myself.

I've got my triple gauge pod in the centre cubby already   s8) 8) s8)  
 Yeah i like innovate they look nice but I'm going for aem wideband as you dont need to keep calibrating the sensor, so it's fit and forget type deal.

I thought innovate now used the up to date bosch sensor that didnt need calibrating.

From what I researched from other forums the aem was the only that genuinely didn't need regular resetting, and got far better feedback about longevity of sensor than the innovate.

Fwiw, I have a Prosport one that doesn't need calibrating. I bought it a couple of years ago and it's been reliable. I believe it's the use of the Bosch LSU 4.9 sensor that means you don't need to calibrate - so any kit using that should be fine.
