Ford Lightning Wideband and Datalogging Setup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- This video shows how to install a wideband O2 sensor and how to set up a firewire with an SCT X4 programmer. This will allow you to be able to send datalogs of the AFR to a tuner or to log AFR for your own review. This was done on a Ford Lightning but the process is similar for almost any car using an SCT device with Firewire.

Excellent walk through. You answered the few remaining questions I had left before I start data logging this afternoon.
Nice!! I tried to cover what I could but a person could spend hours documenting these setups. Good luck!
Yea same here, thanks!
@@umakemerandy3669good deal!
Thank god. No one has been able to explain how to set this up.
Appreciate you saying that. If you have any
questions let me know and I will do my best.
Really useful just got my wideband. And need to get it hooked up. Thanks
Thanks buddy. Hope it works for you. It has been working for me for quite a while. If you have any questions don't hesitate to hit me up. 👍👍
Well detailed video will help me do mine
🙏 hope it helps you out! Thanks for the comment.
Great video man it helped me alot thanxs for taking your time to show others 👍🏻
Hey man, I appreciate you saying that. Means a lot to me. Hope to make more videos like this in the future!
Where did you get that gauge with the set logo?
Speedhut.com 👍 You can upload any image you want if I remember correctly.
Thanks for the video there's not to much tutorials on doing this helps me out a lot
I'm almost done with my datalogs with my new motor on my lightning and I've been having a hard time figuring out dataloging the AFR so I can finish my email tune..
Idk what I did wrong and maybe you might know but I'm using a zeitronix wideband, which was working before. When I tried to hookup my firewire it would only read on my sct device. On the zeitronix box it says the white is wideband output and brown is sensor ground. So orange from firewire goes to white on zeitronix and brown to black? Any help is appreciated thanks
Dang. I have no experience with that brand of wideband. If it's reading right on the sct that's all you really need. But that's kind of crazy because basically the sct is an output from the wideband. Sorry I wasn't more help.
@@605BOLT All good man I appreciate the reply anyway. This video still helped me figure out some stuff 👍
@@lasersgopewpew77 good deal. Have a great weekend. 🇺🇲🍻
@@605BOLT likewise! 🤙🏽
hey boss diggin the vids, thanks for posting them up. Do you mind me asking how much it cost you to have the hole drilled and bung welded in for the O2 sensor on the wideband? thanks in advance!
Thank you for saying that!! I took the pipe off and just marked where I wanted it installed and took the bung and pipe into the muffler shop. They got it all drilled and welded for 20 bucks. Can't beat that I don't think. 👍
I could have done it myself but I wanted it to be not some boogery bullshit. Lol
@@605BOLT hey thank you again for the reply. did you have to buy the firewire separately? I just realized the X4 I ordered doesn't have it in the box. thanks for your time.
@@bspep3 yes I bought the FireWire separately. I bought it through Summit at about ten dollars I think. Lots of places sell them but summit always seems to have fast and reliable shipping to where I am. 👍
Also, if you're in a hurry, you can always just bum one off a buddy. Someone with a ford from 96ish to 2007ish that is tuned will almost guaranteed have one. Could bum it off them if you just need it for a week or so.
Any links to the stuff to do the added fuse mod? Thanks!

I used a guy that looks like this. I imagine they are all about the same. Most parts stores have them. 👍
I could use some help with the data log when I put in the equation on live links I start the data log it Reads zeros on the wideband u have any Suggestions I would appreciate it
You have to choose which wire you are logging (red or orange usually). This is done in Livelink. Also, if the equation is entered correctly, which I assume it is, then a next likely cause for me would be that there is some sort of connection issue in your Firewire. You can use a multimeter to test that the voltage signal is making it into to Firewire properly. At idle, you will be around 14.X so if you do a little algebra with the equation, you can guess what your voltage should be (give or take). Hope this helps!!!
Does the gauge read zeros? I may have misunderstood your question.
Sorry no when I start the data log it reads 0000s in live links
@@ethanott9385 I would maybe check your equation. For example, with this AEM X series wideband, the equation is AFR = 2.375(V) + 7.3125. if you look at the equation, if the system was disconnected, V=0. If that happens, then Livelink would read about 7.3125 for the AFR. If it's reading an AFR of zero though, that would mean V equals about -3.08V. Thats a really random number and doesn't sound likely. I'm betting something in the equation is screwed up or you're logging the wrong wire in the Firewire. See what you find.
Ok I will check it out. This has been a real pain I’ve about had it lol. I appreciate it
How true does the wideband read since it’s only in one side
Seems to be just fine. I have never had anything to compare against though. This is just what my tuner recommended to install so I just followed along. Its possible though you could have an injector fail on the opposite side and not pick it up with this setup.
So you only have to hook up the fire wire. Do you have to ground any of the fire wires. I have the SCT cable and they list an analog and an analog ground
Yes. The analog ground in my situation was pulled through the actual sct device. There is more than one way to do it but in this instance, that is how I did it. 👍
@@605BOLT I'm wiring in an innovate lc2, can't get a straight answer from anybody how to connect it.iran the red sct wire to the 2nd analog output on the lc2 and grounded the green sct wire
I've never done an innovate but my understanding is you need two wires to log the voltage in the sct. That said, in my instance, I am logging the red wire I believe (would need to check the video) and getting the ground through the sct (using the same ground as the ground that allows the x4 to operate).
@@605BOLT the sct fire wire says green analog 2 ground and red analog 2 wire. Wondering if I have to ground the black wire on the fire wire as well. I call sct and they were no help
I would say a redundant ground would be no harm. Sounds like you are on the right track.
Where did you get those gauges if you dont mind me asking.
Speedhut.com. I did my best to make them look like legit SVT gauges.
@@605BOLT Tried finding some like yours on the website. I'm guessing you did a custom order? If so, willing to share your image file? :)
I did a custom order yes. I didn't send an image in. Basically I emailed asking if the lightning logo was too detailed or if svt would be better and they said svt would probably look better so I just said I would take that. I don't remember ever sending an image file. I think they probably have one on file. Maybe just send them an email and ask.
@Wardo, I bet this will work.

Where about from sd are you from? Were moving back to sioux falls area soon
I live in Yankton SD.
@@605BOLT ah okay, cool. We currently live in norfolk so only about an hour south. Don't see too many lighting around anymore
Right on. Ya not very many at all. I try and get to the car meets and shows around my area, SF and Norfolk so we might run into each other. I assume you have a Lightning. What year and color? Modded?
@@605BOLT I'll get one eventually lol. I was actually watching the video bc I need to wire in my firewire for my aem on my kenne bell 2v tomorrow lol
Ha. Right on. I know a guy that has a white lightning and cobra and Mach 1 in Norfolk. Super good guy and into 2V cars too. JR is his name. I bet you will run into him sometime. Hope the video helped you out on your car!!!
What fuse did you pull from
I don't recall. I would have to look back but that add a fuse can be used on just about any circuit.
I went and looked just now. Fuse location five in the interior fuse panel. Left hand column, fifth fuse down. It's a 15 amp fuse. Then the gauges run off of a 5 amp fuse in the add a fuse. Hope this helps.
That fuse spot is for "speed control module, reverse lamp, climate mode switch, daytime running lamp relay, digital transmission range (DTR) sensor"
@@605BOLT it does I paused your video and went to my book and found it was #5 and they power up on ignition and the go off when ignition is shut off correct?
@@stephendwinells8260 nice. That's how mine work yes.
Who is your tuner? Is it JJ?
