Has anyone monitored their Air Fuel ratio driving ?
I took a wide band AF and hooked it up to the secondary O2 sensors.. I dont have any cats..
Cruising AF was around 14 - 14.5 and WOT was 12.5 - 13..
Pretty happy with these results...

I just used a 300$ monitor my dad uses to tune his muscle cars..
It plugged into the bung and worked great.. I dont have the model or anything, but Im sure you could find something have decent at the local performance shop.
Good to know where you're at in regards to AF for peace of mind. IMO

Cruise jumps around a bit more, but WOT was solid at 12.5-13 range.
Id like to find something that could tell me if the ECU is pulling timing... Anyone know of anything that could do that?

I have a wideband gauge in my car that I added, very useful especially back when I was running nitrous and swapping back and forth between a couple different ECUs.

I use this. You can log quite a few things. 52 different fields to be exact. Also clears faults.

Ive used the Dash Dyno, hooks up to your OBDII port and could monitor your AFR's while driving. Don't know how accurate it is but its a cool little gadget.
On the dyno my AFR's were between 12.5-13 at WOT, don't remember exactly.

For decent wideband logging, install Zietronics & wideband O2s for logging with a DashDaq. 55K guys have been doing this for sometime.....
LM2 from Innovative is what I use on the street.
DAS and Xentry can do this too.

Is there anything that can monitor the ignition timing, knock senors and tell me if the car is pulling timing?

DashDaq does monitor timing. Also fuel trim. For the knock sensor, you can use Phormula ks-3 or ks-4 or tap into the existing knock signal and have DasDaq monitor it too.

I have found that the bung in exhaust and Dash Daq display identical lambda values (Bear in mond that I am catless).
Ever since I have the Dash Daq I hardly dyno my car. I measure airflow, check timing figures, lambda.
It helps you understand waht your car does in different conditions like hot vs cold, pump fuel vs race fuel, low altitude vs high altitiude, etc
If you want you can add Zeitronix AFR bung to Dash Daq and EGT sensors, etc.
Brilliant device.

Lambda is a measurement of mixture. Lambda 1 = 14.7 AFR

Here is a sample screen print of info you can get with Zeitronix and DashDaq combo. You can also record all of this through the DashDaq to an SD card and send it to a tuner of your choice from the track. And if you spend a few more $$ on a special cable, you tuner can send you updates to your file while you are still at the track.

I recognize this is an old thread however I am in market for a data logger for AFR and was looking that Dashdaq. Do I really need to get the Zt-2 also or just Dashdaq is enough? Car in question is 13 e63 amg biturbo

Read post #18 above. Yes you need both for accurate results. There are also several other wideband sensors that are supported.

With LM-2 we can add extra sensors like in the ZT-2?
For what I read LM-2 can log OBD2 data and O2 only or I'm wrong?
With zeitronix ZT-2 without dashdaq we cannot read from OBD2 or there is another way?
I checked PCMSCAN software and they support ZT-2 as an aux input but don't know if it will read also from extra sensors plugged in to zt-2!
