No problem.
Yes, you can use any wideband that has a configurable 0-5v analog output. Wire the signal to O2#1 on the AEM, setup the voltage table and you're good to go. The AEM EMS is not setup for any stock o2 sensor anyway.

PM me with the details on your setup and your e-mail address and I'll see what I can do.

[QUOTE=Scorpion,Oct 18 2006, 03:37 AM] Well I would never recomend anyone street tune a car.

Cant wait to take mine to get tuned, I would have tried to do somethings my self but I do not understand all the different parameters.
I just got a cal file from a guy with the UR kit, Im hoping it works well with my aem ems

I was told by my tuner that the stock Knock sensor on the F20c is a very good sensor and you should always use it. If you know how to set up a timing map and it's parameters and know how to read actual knock and what is real and isn't, the sensor is a great tool to utilize in your tuning and I would never go without it.
I had a guy with a comptech SC running 9psi on an EMS come to me for tuning. I had him set help me set the inital timing on the car, and when I went out to start tuning the car was knocking bad at 5000 rpm. According to the knock readings, we where getting no knock (less that 2 volts) but trust me the car was pinging and making no power what so ever. So after backing the timing way down I decided to recheck the timing. Apparently he didn't know how to read the timing light when we where doing the inital setup, because at idle the car was at 17 degrees Stock is around 5-6. So the car was off by 12 degrees, which mean that at 5000 rmp the map said 30, but it was actually 42!!!! After I set the timing to where it was supposed to be, we went back on the road and the car pulled great and didn't ping at all. The knock voltage at that point was the same as when the car was pining like mad.
One more thing, I don't want you to think I don't use the knock control. I turn it on when I'm done tuning, but as a safety feature for me, in case the owner of the car changes something without consulting me or another tuner. I would expect every tuner to do this. The point I was trying to make before was that TUNING a car using the knock sensor is bad.
