Wideband AFR gauge and sensor? Options

[TRP]

Hello,

As I waiit for Ken to finish building my 2056 I want to keep moving on other projects. As I mentioned before, I am keeping the LJet, running 2.0 heads, 2.0 intake runners, the flexible couplers from 914Werke, and the larger bus throttle body. I have read a few threads on this conversion/ upgrade and understand it's straightforward, but I may need to verify the AFR.

Should I buy a wideband gauge and sensor? Or is this as easy as "adjusting some big wheel one click"?

If I should get a wideband setup, which one do you all recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Experts say.....Mount the CHT thermocouple under the #3 spark plug. NOT the stock location that is drilled/taped. Most heads will need a little relief about the spark plug hole for the sensor to sit flat and not turn and twist during install/removal..lots of pic on this in world search

A little off the subject,

But. Having the CHT thermocouple under the plug is a PITA . Mine is all twisted up from changing the plugs.

So contrary to what the "Experts" say, next time I am putting the thermocouple under the Djet CHT sensor.

No one will really convince me that there will be a large temp difference between the two locations, they are only inches apart.

It's not the temp difference so much as the time it takes for the temp at that gauge to read what's happening. For determining a mix that is good, for keeping track of dangerous conditions you want to be under the plug. I am just very careful with mine and rarely pull the 3 plug.
