Air/Fuel meter advice
Paul (Notts) - 4/9/08 at 04:26 PM

Getting a little tired of trying to guess the correct mixture settings on my carb so thinking about getting an Air/Fuel ratio meter.

What I am after is a set up that displays the ratio when I am driving and can also data log the readings.

With it being a V8, I either need a meter with two channels or the ability to switch from one sensor to another as I would require a reading from both exhausts.
Alternately I could have a fitting in both exhausts and just switch the sensor over to the other side to check them both.

Anyone got any recommendations or advice on a good set up…

Looking to spend around £200-300 max

Ps – don’t tell the misses about the cost – when it arrives it was only £50…..

By specific ratio the adiabetic ratio should be 14.8:1. However if this is being read as a Llamda value then a perfect ratio is 1.

Does this make sense.

It can also display any of the sensors from my ecu,not fitted it yet just played about a bit

Have a look at the post by Martin (Piddy ) in the fuel injection section .
