Is there a way to map or log a/f with Livewire?

I have a friend with an older cobra who does this. You have to use a wideband 02 sensor though. He said something about using an 02 sensor from a volkswagon beetle or something which costs 40 bucks and is a wideband. Then you have to have a signal conditioner to convert it from the output voltage of the 02 sensor to an actual A/F ratio. You would have to mount this in your exhaust before your cats or else it will not get accurate readings. Sorry its broken information, but if you do a google search for using volkswagon wideband 02 sensors, you can probably find out what year and model that was and also a cheap signal conditioner. Hope that helps some. Oh yeah, he uses an X-Cal II.

Yes, you will need a wideband O2 sensor as mentioned above. You will also need a firewire cable; you'll be cutting it in half and wiring it up to the output cables of the wideband.

Attached is the wiring diagram; if you end up connecting a wideband you will need it.
