butdo the unit usethewidebandsensors to send the eec a singal in the narrow band mode?

vristang

Narrow Band simulators are used in order to utilize a wideband O2 sensor IN PLACE OF the stock narrowband O2's.

Using a NB simulator has no advantage in itself.

The advantage comes in being able to datalog (or simply dispay via a gauge), the true AFR.
A NB O2 cannot accurately display AFR.


If you are trying to tune your AFR using the fuel pressure gauge, then save your $$$.
If you have a way to make changes to the .bin, then the WB O2 is well worth the money.

the gauge and wideband unit is useless unless you have a tweecer,pms,etc to make changes...unless you like the cool factor of having some bright red numbers on your dash

or unless people are smarter than you and adjust their fuel pressure regulator to allow them to run ~13:1 afr at WOT... where as my car ran 15.5:1 at WOT before my AFPR

well is there a aftermarket computer that can take plug in wide band. because paying for a wideband and a controller is alot.

you have to pay to play

Can you provide a little more info on what you are trying to do, and what you are working on?
It may help us to give you some more specific responses, as everything so far has been pretty general.

Every wide band O2 kit I remember seeing had a narrow band simulator.
The LC-1 (from Innovate)is $200, and has a nb simulator.
