Anyone have a wideband O2 meter/logger that they'd be willing to rent out for a week or two?

Default Why don't you just buy it...

I just bought that one. Cheap! $325 to my doorstep. No more worrying about having to bug other people to borrow it. =)

Default Temping, but I know I won't need it long-term. It's a lot to spend for a few days of tuning.

I take it you aren't interested in renting yours out?

Radio Shack sells a PC interfaced multi meter kit P/N 22-812 that works very well as a data logger.

I paid about 50 bucks.

I have one going right now recording the signal stability of a photomultiplier tube at various dynode voltages.

Works a treat, with real time analog, graphical and digital display.

Hooked to a lap top, It might work for your application. Tap into the signal wire from the O2 sensor.

Default Will that work with a wideband O2 sensor?

I think I've found a local wideband unit that I can use but your budget solution sounds interesting.

I think the calculation for O2 voltage to AFR is a bit more complicated though

Default Most dynos will let you use theirs.

If you're road tuning, you're screwed, though.

Default I would lend it to you...

But then again this last couple weeks we have been tuning. Still will be using it for the next 2 weeks. Where are you located?

Connecticut. I might have found one locally though. Should know sometime next week.

Yeah, I want to do some initial tuning on the road and then finetune on the dyno.

from what I can tell, all voltages seen from a working O2 sensor fall between 0 and 1 volts.

Not difficult for any multimeter.

Wide range A/F units output in amps, well milliamps. most modern multimeters will be fine with that as well.

Calibration may be questionable, but you could use performance as the last word!
