Title: Tuning a Narrowband
Post by: dokalanyi on June 24, 2016, 05:06:41 AM
I have a narrow band Passat, and I've wanted to get a Wideband car for a while now, but they just aren't available -- both Passats and A4s. I've made logs with the passat, but they're different from the logs in the community thread -- there isn't AFR. Wiki also says not to skimp on the O2 sensor.

So question is, can I tune a narrow band ecu without additional hardware?

Not unless you like guessing.

While I'm not a fan of their tuning, Unitronic makes a nice harness to convert to wideband: https://www.getunitronic.com/news/unitronic-wideband-ecu-conversion-harness/

Buy a wideband O2 sensor and a wideband ECU as well and you are good to go. It is extra cost, but totally worth it. My buddy did the conversion on his A4 and it works beautifully...

i build and sell these as well.

My favorite part of the unitronic one is the resistor for the vvt.
If only there was a way to get rid of that, you would think a
big company like unitronic would have figured it out.

To the op, you said narrow band like aeb? Is it drive by wire and
narrow band? Cause if its aeb none of this works.

Turning off circuit diagnosis for vvt is fairly basic shit.

OP: buy Ian's or run 2 wires and repin the plug.

I dont understand this either, I run ME7.5 wideband on my AEB and I dont have one single resistor nor do I have fault codes. But hey I'm just an amateur ;D

Thanks guys! Will try to do the wide band conversion.

Its a plug and play hardware solution. I'm sure they know how to do simple deletes. Also, that came out before many people even knew about this forum.

Guys I was kidding, buy Ian's or even better yet build one its pretty simple.
I have a diagram as I have made them, I goo to the junk yard and get the connectors.

Message me I'll send you the diagram.

If I had know that I wouldn't have suggested the Uni one... Makes me feel dirty recommending anything they offer.  ;D
