Ordered a dual wideband set up with control box. Where is best place to run cables through firewall? Where do most install box? Thanks for any help.

Nevermind wrong question

There's a grommet in the passenger footwell when you remove the foam and rest plate. To the left, above the 1/0 gauge coming from the battery in the trunk

MindBend

right under the cabin air filter (in right rear engine compartment) there's large grommet passing through to above passenger food area...above TCU, etc.

Im in the process of installing mine. Its needs a 12v power source to power the unit, which wires can i splice into? Any ideas? It doesnt draw many amps

rockthemullet

I used the power and ground off of the back of the cigarette lighter. This is a convenience item, the wideband won't power on if your battery is too low.

You can get switched power in fuse panel, tap into Cigarette lighter, or use cigarette lighter to trigger relay (which is what I did)

But I am running a lot of junk off of direct feeds from the battery, so the switched power to relay works well. Used this for Intercooler pump too

here is where you get power in fuse block: (Disregard second part of picture, that's just for sensor taps)

So how do you get to the wiring for the lighter without taking the dash apart?

Remove the shifter surround, and then the ashtray. You will then be able to access the wiring.

kponti

Thank you, will try that out today

Put the shifter in drive, then pop up the shifter plate, then you can access the ashtray easier iirc

I read those wideband kits can emulate a narrowband signal via their control boxes, right?
Anyone uses this? Does this work with the 55's ? Where to connect what?
Anything else recommend than Zeitronix?

Hulk

Zeitronix with dashdaq or Ndash is the best

Or you can try the aem with failsafe but that logs only boost and afr

My OT-2 seems to have taken a crap (ughh)....Hopefully Innovate will replace it, otherwise I will be looking at the ZT-2 (which I have loved for turbo'd cars).

Hulk

If it's within a year they will repair or replace

My OT2 just needed to select 1 channel to connect to the ECU....reconnected fine...and then I selected 3 channels to log...everything is working again (weird...)

Hulk

Electronic brain fart, lol

I just picked up the PLX kit, DM-6 SM-AFR Gen 4 Combo along with the Kiwi BT and IMFD cable. Very easy to hook up and I will give more info as I use it in the next few weeks

cij911

Do the two work together ? What software or app will you use to datalog ?

kponti

From what I've been told by the tech support, yes.

I have it setup as such....Kiwi2 BT hooked up to the SM-AFR to the sensor. The idea was to get the signal from the AFR to the Kiwi so I can read all that info via bluetooth. Also live AFR readings from the DM gauge and log with either ScanXL or DashCommand
