Limitations Of Wide-Band Sensors
WEGO™ units manufactured before 2012 shut down if the battery voltage exceeded 16.5 volts. All new WEGO™ units operate up to 19.0 volts. If you have an older WEGO™ unit and your race vehicle has a 16 volt system with an alternator or any 18 volt system, the voltage will exceed the 16.5 volt maximum allowed by the WEGO™.
Wide-Band Vs. Standard O2 Sensor
The Twin Scan II™ software analyzes logged data and displays AFR and the required volumetric efficiency (VE) correction (in percent) with the same RPM rows and throttle position sensor (TPS) columns used in SERT and PowerCommander® tables. Please visit our sister company's website at: www.daytona-twintec.com.
The Bosch® LSU 4.2 wide-band sensor integrates a conventional (narrow-band) heated oxygen sensing Nernst cell with an oxygen pump cell. With an appropriate electronic interface such as the WEGO™, this integrated sensor element is capable of measuring the air/fuel ratio (AFR) of hydrocarbon fuels over a very wide range. For more detailed information, you can click to read here the Bosch® LSU 4.2 Oxygen Sensor Specifications.

TECH NOTE: 2010 and later H-D® touring models are equipped with miniature 12mm oxygen sensors.
The Bosch® LSU 4.2 wide-band oxygen sensors used with the WEGO series are 18mm and will not fit. Smaller wide-band sensors are not available.
However, there is a solution. Bay Area Performance Cycles™ sells an oxygen sensor manifold kit that allows easy installation of Bosch® LSU 4.2 wide-band sensors on any exhaust system for testing purposes.
The process involves drilling small holes and using a special tool to install threaded fittings for the sensor manifolds.
After testing, button head stainless steel screws are installed in place of the sensor manifolds and the heat shields are reinstalled.

EXCESSIVE EXHAUST BACK PRESSURE - Wide-band sensors are affected by back pressure. Excessive back pressure causes exaggerated AFR indications under rich and lean conditions, but has little effect at 14.7 AFR (stoichiometric). The WEGO™ is intended to be used with a free flowing performance exhaust. Overly restrictive stock mufflers may cause excessive back pressure under wide open throttle. When used with a turbo system, the sensor must be mounted downstream of the turbo. Motorcycle exhaust systems are relatively free flowing and problems with exhaust back pressure are not likely.
EXHAUST REVERSION - Reversion is the term for a negative pressure wave that can suck ambient air back into the exhaust and cause an erroneous lean AFR indication. Exhausts without mufflers, such as open headers or "drag pipes" on motorcycles, usually suffer from reversion effects and may not be suitable for use with the WEGO™. Reversion effects will also occur with certain exhausts used on "bagger" style motorcycles, where two pipes split off near the rear cylinder. At part throttle, air is actually sucked into the left tailpipe. Reversion effects will be most noticeable at idle, part throttle low RPM cruise, and deceleration.

WEGO™ AFR Wide-Band Systems - General Tech Notes & Tips
Most original equipment data sheets and service manuals now use kPa as the unit of measurement. A standard atmosphere (atm) is the mean sea level pressure at 60° F. The unit bar (1 bar = 100 kpa) is also encountered in descriptions of manifold absolute pressure sensors and is just under one atmosphere.
If the vehicle you are working on does not have a factory ECM that provides +5 volt power for a standard automotive type MAP sensor, you can use an industrial sensor, such as the SSI Technologies® P51 series. These can be powered directly from +12 volt and provide a 1-5 volt output. Model #P51-15-A-UB-I36-5V-000-000has a 0-15 PSI a range and is suitable for normally aspirated engines. Other versions with higher pressure ratings are available for boosted applications. These sensors are available from Digi-Key® (www.digikey.com).
The comprehensive test that we perform in our lab requires reference gases and a small test chamber for the Bosch® sensor. The test is performed at three points: free air, stoichiometric, and 0.80 lambda (11.75 AFR for gasoline). Ambient air is used to test the free air point. Lab grade nitrogen gas is used for the stoichiometric point (no oxygen or hydrocarbons remaining after a theoretically complete combustion). For details on the Bosch® recommended reference gas used for the 0.80 lambda point, you can refer to page 9 of the Bosch® LSU 4.2 Specifications Factory Document. The Bosch® recommended reference gas is available from Scott Specialty Gases (www.scottgas.com), but is very expensive at about $1,000 for a C size cylinder.

Bosch® LSU 4.2 sensors come with several styles of proprietary connectors. A common style is shown at the right. The Bosch® connector includes a calibration resistor that establishes the nominal free-air calibration. This approach is required for original equipment applications. Obviously it would not be feasible to manually adjust the free-air calibration for each sensor installed on a vehicle assembly line.
Since all WEGO™ units have a free-air calibration adjustment and the Bosch® connector with its built-in calibration resistor is not required. There several reasons why we use a Deutsch® DT series connector in place of the Bosch connector:

It is important to understand that the wide-band sensor is measuring the apparent AFR based on the composition of the exhaust gas. The actual AFR is the mass of air divided by the mass of fuel inducted into the engine.
They are intended to be used with 3-way catalytic converters that require operation near the stoichiometric point (14.7 air/fuel ratio).
The range of narrow-band sensors is inadequate for performance tuning. While originally developed for lab and specialized automotive, wide-band sensors are ideal for tuning. The 5-wire Bosch® LSU 4.2 sensor used with the WEGO™ operates over a range of 10.3 to infinite air/fuel ratio.

WEGO™ Systems Accuracy - Factory Quality Control & Unit Testing
Use washers with an OD that is 2/3 to 3/4 the ID of the pipe (for example, 1-1/2” OD washers are suitable for pipes with an ID of 2” to 2.25”). Weld ¼-20 socket head cap screws to the washers as shown on the right. Drill holes at the bottom of the pipes about 2” from the end and use decorative acorn nuts to secure the washer assemblies. We highly suggest that you use stainless steel hardware.
The washers will reflect positive pressure waves that will cancel out the negative pressure waves reflecting from the end of the pipes. You can turn the washers just like throttle blades to provide more or less restriction. Dyno tests will show a significant increase in midrange torque and a small drop in top end horsepower as the restriction is increased.
Higher AFR values correspond to a leaner (less fuel) condition. The practical operating range for most engines using gasoline fuel is from approximately 11.5 to 14.7 AFR. Combustion of a stoichiometric mixture (exactly enough air to burn all the fuel) results in 14.7 AFR indication.
Automotive engines with catalytic converters operate near 14.7 AFR during cruise and idle.
Race engines require a richer mixture to limit cylinder head temperature and prevent detonation. The table below lists recommended AFR values for race engines without emission controls.
All WEGO™ systems provide quick and easy at-a-glance verification and adjustment of the sensor free-air calibration. This allows the WEGO™ to maintain accuracy as the sensor ages and maximizes sensor life in racing applications where the sensor may be exposed to leaded fuels.
For applications using unleaded fuels, free-air calibration should be performed on initial installation and whenever a sensor is replaced. Periodic free-air calibration is generally not required. When used with leaded racing fuels, free-air calibration should be performed at the beginning of each race event or dyno tuning session. When free-air calibration is no longer possible, the sensor has reached end-of-life and must be replaced.
Overview - Wide-Band Sensor Operation
For any given AFR, the concentrations of the various exhaust gas constituents can be measured under experimental conditions or calculated using computer programs based on chemical kinetics.

NOTES: EXCESSIVE SCAVENGING - Turbo systems or tuned exhausts in combination with a high overlap camshaft profile can force unburned air and fuel mixture through the cylinder into the exhaust and cause an erroneous rich AFR indication. For motorcycles, some aftermarket 2-into-1 systems such as the Thunderheader® appear to suffer from this problem, whereas others such as the Vance & Hines Pro Pipe® and White Brothers® E-Series seem less affected.
MISFIRING - If the AFR is so rich that the engine misfires, high levels of oxygen will remain in the exhaust gas and result in an erroneous lean indication.
WEGO™ units can be used with exhaust sniffers that allow temporary installation on most automobiles and motorcycles for tuning and diagnostic purposes.
However, regardless of what some people may claim, it is impossible to properly tune a fuel injection system or carburetor on a modified engine without some means of exhaust gas analysis. WEGO™ units can be used with exhaust sniffers that allow temporary installation on most automobiles and motorcycles for tuning and diagnostic purposes.
Shops can use the WEGO™ as a low cost alternative to expensive systems such as those sold by Dynojet®. They can easily fabricate your own exhaust sniffer to use with the WEGO™, eliminating the need to install weld nuts in the exhaust. Please refer to our Automotive Exhaust Sniffer Tech Bulletin and Motorcycle Exhaust Sniffer Tech Bulletin shown in the sections below for full details.
WEGO™ Systems - Displaying Program Data Using LASCAR®/PanelPilot® Products
The first generation WEGO™ (originally sold by our sister company Daytona Twin Tec™) used a Honda®/NTK® L2H2 wide-band sensor and did not have any built-in data logging capability.
The WEGO™ II series was a Second Generation product. The WEGO™ II used the new Bosch® LSU 4.2 wide-band sensor and included built-in data logging. The Bosch® LSU 4.2 wide-band sensor was available at a much lower cost than the earlier Honda®/NTK® part. The result was that we were able to offer the WEGO™ II for substantially less than the price of the original unit.
The Third Generation WEGO™ III series is packaged in an improved low profile housing. WEGO™ III units with display and data logging use an ultra-bright daylight readable blue LED display that is water-proof and include a built-in USB interface. The older WEGO™ II units had a red LCD display that was prone to moisture intrusion and used an RS-232 serial data interface.
The Fourth Generation WEGO™ IV series is packaged in an aluminum housing intended for under dash or dyno lab environments. WEGO™ IV units are not sealed and susceptible to the elements
The Fifth and Latest Generation is the WEGO™ 5 - A dual channel unit with internal data logging. It features both CAN data bus and analog air/fuel ratio outputs. It does not have a built-in display. From an operational standpoint, all of our WEGO™ II, WEGO™ III, WEGO™ IV and WEGO™ 5 units are similar.
SSI Technologies® P51 Series Pressure Sensor
The solution is to install some rectifier diodes in-line with the red WEGO™ power wire to reduce the supply voltage as shown in the figure below. Suitable 6 amp 400-1000 volt rated diodes are available from Mouser Electronics®. Here are links to recommended Micro Commercial Components® (MCC) Part Numbers 833-6A4-TP,833-6A6-TP, and 833-6A6-TP. If you are using multiple WEGO™ systems, each unit will require a separate diode string. When soldering the diodes together in series, leave about 1 inch lead length between diodes for best heat dissipation.
The sensor will be quickly degraded if leaded racing gasoline is used. Under these conditions, expected sensor life will be less than 10 hours. As the sensor degrades, free air calibration will become impossible.
Oil or other hydrocarbon residues in the exhaust will affect the sensor readings. Likewise, gasoline containing ethanol will result is slight air/fuel reading errors.
The sensor responds to the partial pressure of oxygen. Excessive exhaust back pressure will affect sensor readings. This should not be a problem with any performance exhaust system. When used with a turbo, make sure the sensor is located downstream of the turbo.
Make sure that power is on to the WEGO™ whenever the engine is run. Without power to the internal heating element, the sensor will clog with hydrocarbon residues and may be permanently degraded. If you want to remove the sensor, we sell an 18 x 1.5mm hex plug.

WARNING!!!
- The mating Bosch® connector that would be required on the WEGO™ wire harness is bulky and expensive.
- The Bosch® connector requires a special crimping tool whereas the Deutsch® DT series are widely used in automotive racing and most professional mechanics already have the proper crimping tool. Race car and dyno room installations that require routing custom length cables through small firewall openings and then installing the connector are considerably easier with the Deutsch® connectors.
- Using the Deutsch® connectors facilitates installation of our prefabricated extension harnesses. Simply plug the extension harness between the WEGO™ and the sensor. This would not be possible with the Bosch® connector.
- The customer can easily replace a failed sensor with any available Bosch® LSU 4.2 series part. The Deutsch® connector housings can be reused many times, only new terminals are required as explained in the next section below.

1. One or two (for dual channel systems) sensors are mounted on a test manifold. The sensors are allowed to reach normal operating temperature and a free air calibration is performed at the WEGO™ to establish the free air operating point. Sensors with gross defects will fail during this test step.
2. Lab grade nitrogen gas is used to simulate the stoichiometric operating point (zero oxygen and zero hydrocarbon level corresponding to 1.00 Lambda).
3. A Bosch® specified reference gas (3.15% hydrogen, 3.15% carbon dioxide, and 4.05% carbon monoxide with balance nitrogen) is used to simulate the 0.8 Lambda (11.74 gasoline AFR) operating point. This reference gas is supplied by AirGas® Air Liquide® Specialty Gases Division. Outside of the major automotive companies and institutions such as Southwest Research Institute, Daytona Sensors™ is the only company in North America currently purchasing this reference gas.

For a basic quick test, you will require a 12 volt power source, digital voltmeter (DVM), and a small disposable butane cigarette lighter. If the WEGO™ has been removed from the vehicle, you can use a 12V battery as a power source. Do NOT use a battery charger as a power source.
Connect the black WEGO™ signal and power ground wires to the battery minus terminal. Connect the red WEGO™ power wire to the battery positive terminal (for WEGO™ IV series, make connections to the terminal block). Connect the black DVM lead to the WEGO™ signal ground and the red DVM lead to the WEGO™ AFR output (white wire on single channel units, white and blue wires on dual channel units, or appropriate terminal on WEGO™ IV series). Test each channel separately on dual channel units.
With the Bosch® sensor in free air, let the WEGO™ warm up and then perform the free air calibration procedure (refer to instructions). The status LED should be blinking rapidly (WEGO™ IIID) or the display should indicate FA (WEGO™ III and IV series units with display) and the DVM should read +4.95 to +5.05 volts. Use a butane lighter as a hydrocarbon vapor source. Torch type cigar lighters may not work properly, use the cheap disposable variety. Do not light the flame. Just hold the lighter at the tip of the Bosch sensor and spray butane at the sensor. The voltage should drop below 0.3 volts for WEGO™ IIID units and 0.25 volts for WEGO™ III and IV series with display. If your system passes this test, you can be 90% confident that it is functioning correctly.
DIY 'Homemade' WEGO™ Auto Exhaust 'Sniffer'
New WEGO™ units use a Bosch® LSU 4.2 sensor that is readily available from your local VW® dealer or Bosch® parts distributor.
To use one of these VW® dealer or Bosch® sensors, you must replace the Bosch® connector with a six terminal Deutsch® connector. You can reuse the connector housing. You can order terminals and extra connector housings from Ladd Distribution®(www.laddinc.com).
You can also make your own extension harness. Click on the links on the top right for the appropriate drawings. You should use a proper Deutsch® crimping tool. NOTE: If you do use a generic "Open Barrel" crimping tool, you must also solder all the terminals.
WEGO™ systems will work with most hydrocarbon fuels including Ethanol, E85, and Methanol. Newer WEGO™ units with display and data logging allow uploading a fuel type selection with the WEGO™ Log software including user defined fuels. WEGO™ III and IV units operate over the 0.70-1.33 Lambda range. WEGO™ 5 units operate over the 0.50-1.33 Lambda range. Corresponding Air/Fuel Ratio (AFR) values are:
