maft pro and wideband

[TomFraser]

When I go to install my maft pro system I want a wideband installed with it for obvious reasons

can I remove the stock o2 sensor and use the bung for a wideband that hooks into the maft pro or does the ECU still need the o2 signal even after going maft?

search turned nothing, but a look at the 7mgte section helped

Still needs stock O2 sensor... maft pro is only a piggyback, afterall

and widebands use different bungs.

Wideband sensors are also placed further away from the turbo than factory location.

Doesn't NEED it if the wideband like an LC1 can do it. (which it can)

I would run a stocker anyway, though.

+1 18-36 inches away from the turbo. too close you will burn up the sensor.

heres a good thread on placement

keep it for closed loop...unplug it for open loop but will have the o2 cel

 

[TomFraser]

installed maft pro and am beggining to understand the basics of tuning (learning as I go)

don't I want the o2 sensor removed so the ECU is not trying to mess with my tune in closed loop? If I understand correctly in open loop my tune will not be messed with, right?

What would be a good choice of wideband sensors? and also I would only need to buy the sensor as I'm just going to wire the two wires to my maft pro? thanks

i think most use LC1 with a bosch o2

what i use

 

[levi1717]

so if i get the lc-1 wideband kit with the o2 sensor from hpf then i should have everything i need to hook it to my maftpro, sorry complete noob to the maft pro.

no, the maftpro does not have a built in controller. so you cant buy just the sensor.

lc-1 works well. a few issues with their xd16 gauge.

I have my stock o2 unplugged, running the Lc-1 and Part throttle tracking. Also learning as I go. Getting better just takes a lot of tinkering for a good PTT tune.

People really shouldn't say you need the stock o2 sensor unless they have experience with the maft pro...:nono:
