O2 wideband on a Go Kart

[Flyinhillbilly]

It kind of makes it look like a unicorn, but it's on there.

Like any other proper redneck project, a few zip ties, and viola!

I'll try it out tomorrow and let you guys know how it went.

I think the question on everyone's lips is why? Simply looking at the spark plug will give you similar yet, not so accurate, information...

Correct me if I'm wrong but, wouldn't that have cost more than the engine?

 

[chancer]

Because he can. So why not.

My kit was less than 40.00 for everything. I'm not finished with it yet but plan is to try on the trike as it has a different carb then factory. Nice job.

This kit was $180, but this is a genuine Honda, so no

I did it because I wanted to.

Have two innovative motorsports lc1 wide bands. My go kart kit is a narrow band one wire setup. Sunpro gage and standard one wire O2 sensor and have a 9amp 12v battery for the gauge.

Well Heck, you are making all the cool stuff. I'd better hurry and try to get something together that functions as a flow bench. LOL Cool Stuff. Dyno, O2 Sensor, Sounds like you are getting ready something mean.

It's the same thing that usually happens with me. Barreling down that rabbit hole as fast as I can, lol.

Quick international comment on the topic:

O2 is a MSP in germany..
advertising their broadband data plans in the tv commercial that's currently running.
and I was really thinking "why would a kart need internet?" for a split second

now, back to our regular program

Thanks Sid for that side track. Now I want internet on my kart!
Maybe just add cell phone holder...

Well, I'm going to call it mixed results. It worked well with a lawnmower battery powering it, and I could see the numbers to have a visual reference for when it stumbled, but I couldn't get the stumble tuned out of it, so I just switched it back to methanol. That stuff is a breeze to tune. This go kart has an alcohol tillotson in it's future.

Jetting with the wideband was a cinch, took just a few minutes to get the main dialed in. Overall it worked well, but probably not worth the $$$ in my opinion.
