A single sensor is fine. I'm running the innovative motorsports wideband in my car and it only has 1 sensor.

yup

If you want the a/f read out you need to get the HKS AFK amp(One of the best investments in my book). You can connect the Camp2 to this to get A/F data from. Not cheap but you know the name of the game at this point.

The AFK also display knock on the Camp 2

What is your exhaust setup?

Are you running cats?
Do you have a y-pipe?
Where do you plan on putting the sensor or sensors?
Which widebands are you considering?


Widebands need to be placed before the cats. It's not unusual to see someone running with one sensor with a bung on each bank. This allows you to switch the sensor to the other side if you need to. Best setup is a sensor on each side but you have to have a system that can read both. Widebands are not cheap sensors though so that is a factor. And a lot of the times it is difficult to get a sensor (bung) where you need it. Also, the bung should be placed so that it is not on the bottom of the exhaust pipe (in case of water or condensation).

Testing each bank. Trying to pinpoint a problem. Checking for differences.


I've seen some guys (companies) run a sensor on each primary while they were developing new parts for the engine. This tells you what each cylinder is doing.

i was dead set on the AEM UEGO wideband but after reading stuff over at my350z i get mixed answers. some people say it's okay for 1 sensor and some say we need a dual channel. i think the only way for our CAMP2 to work A/F is if we get the FCON.

i've been looking back and fourth on that unit. i hate to go cheap right now after what i've just done lol. HKS products ain't cheap. i think i'll hold off on the A/F for now and save a bit for the HKS AFK. i'm a big fan of HKS but damn, it's so pricey! i don't think the AFK is compatible with the CAMP2.

i have the HKS exhaust only, i wanna get the HFC just so it'll accept the the extra sensors but i live in Cali and i wanna play nice. i talked to my guy who runs a muffler shop and he can weld in a bung. he knows what he's doing when it comes to FI stuff but he's just not familiar with our cars on which bank to mount the sensor at. he's gonna weld it before the cat's just gotta find out which bank.

first i was dead set on the AEM but now i think i just changed my mind on saving up a bit for the AFK just cuz i'm such a HKS *****.
