will the stock 5 wire o2 sensor that came with my 98 hx work the same as a wideband needed for a a/f guage?

 

i just got a turbo kit and wanna put it on but i dotn have anything to tune it with...

will it hurt to just bolt the turbo kit on and run it at low rpms for a week or so untill i can get it tunned?

it shouldint hurt as long as i keep it outa boost right?

 

The stock oxygen sensor is a narrowband.
I do not recommend building any kind of load on your motor without having it tuned.

Check out an article I wrote that describes everything phearable.net

 

so than how would i get out to you after i bolt on the turbo kit... thats on hell of a tow bill im in plant city

p.s. i was hoping you would be the one to answer this question you were actualy the one i was directing it to

also i have a set of dsm in injectors i will put in and wire up a resistor box before i come out to you but how do i know if i will need a larger volume fuel pump?

 

I would recommend a 255lph pump just to be safe. The last thing you want to do is max out your fuel pump.

Your options:
1. Install the turbo kit using stock injectors, retard your distributor a few deg (rotate it towards your headlight) and drive to your tuner without building positive manifold pressure. Once you get to your tuner you would then pay him to install your injectors/resistor box.

2. Get a basemap program for your ecu from your tuner. Install the turbo kit using your injectors/resistor box & drive to the tuner on the basemap without hitting major load.

3. Tow the car to your tuner.

4. Pay your tuner to come to your car.

 

ill give you a call and leave my info on your answering machine so you can call me back when you are free and we can get more into this because i dont know what i should do/not do bring or prices on anything

Actually the hx and vx's are wide band. Most wide band controller run bosch sensors so the NTK (I think that is the brand) won't work. If you had an NTK based controller the hx/vx sensor will work.

 

KJ,

I was not aware that the hx & vx vehicles came with an NTK sensor.
To my knowledge NTK sensors are not being sold at a reasonable price anymore.

They always were too pricey. We actually tried running one on Glenn's dyno but couldn't get it to work right (had it laying around). They cost over $200 at the dealer. I still think I may have one in my toolbox.
