DIY Wideband o2??? Has any one built one of those do it your self wideband o2??? like from here http://www.diy-wb.com/
It doesn't look to hard and would be cheaper then buying a "real" one. After all, all its doing is taking a 0-5 volt signal from the sending unit and converting it in to a corresponding number on a lcd screen.
If you have, or know of some one who has, or know where I could find some more info in it let me know.
Thank, Kyle

I didn't buy the kit, mine was preassembled but so far has worked great.

The kits used to use the more expensive NTK sensor and
building it yourself on that basis would cost more than
buying.
Maybe newer kits using the Bosch VW sensor (like the
Innovate, Dynojet, PLX etc. do) are out there.
However the fancier products offer some niceties that
make them more friendly to the actual task. Especially
being able to map the output to a straight-line AFR-
as-voltage reading, is nice; and having some sort of
auto-recalibration, as the LM-1, is something I consider
essential if you're going to be owning this tool for a long
time and want to keep it reading right.
The simpler, analog loop kits are usable of course, but
if you can't get the parts inclusive of sensor for under
$150 I think you'd be misplacing your funds.
