I don't have the spare money to just toss around, I'm not spending anything till next paycheck due to paying for rent, utils, welding class, oscilloscope, car insurance, etc... (lot of extra expenses this check that I don't normally have to pay)

The narrow band is useful for telling the computer when the engine is running at stoichiometric (14.7:1 for gasoline) Air fuel ratio, but at any other air fuel ratio, the the voltage coming from the narrowband sensor is a guess... you can only tell if you're running lean or rich, but not the exact AFR (Air Fuel Ratio). The voltage from one of these is usually between 0v and 1v, with .5v being stoichiometric (14.7:1).
A wideband O2 sensor (with a controller) can tell you the exact AFR between two certain values... By default, the controller that jason has can tell the megasquirt AFR's between 9:1 and 19:1 by signalling the megasquirt with a voltage between 0v and 5v. Better still, the signal is linear, so the correlation between voltage and AFR is just a straight line, where with some other wideband units, and with narrowband, the correlation is a curve.
The wideband O2 controller/sensor that I'm recommending to eage8 isn't necessarily better than what jason has... but unlike jason's, it's pre-built (we had to solder together everything in jason's) and costs the same amount as jason's (unbuilt) kit did.

Well I completed the o-ring block weld fix and my verdict for the moment is that it works but be prepared to replace the water pump. $70 from advance autoparts and should get there the next day.

NarrowBand gives you Stoich, Too rich, or Too lean... There is no more info. If the little A/F gauges that work with narrow bands have numbers on them, they are a joke.
WideBand, however costs more, requires a controller (Total cost is about $200), and sometimes requires calibration. (Send a known gas ratio to it, check reading, adjust values of resistors...)
NarrowBand needs no controller. You can pick one up from Advance Auto Parts or somewhere for less than $50... One wire to hook up, and you're set.

yup

And x0ny: if the hachi is ready, I'll drive it... It depends on how fast Julian and I work, and whether we can find someplace around CP that does good alignments.
