new here thanks for responding. i assume by your title you have a s/c or turbo on your jeep and by reading old posts you seem very knowlegable. if you could help me feel a little more comfortable with this system. do i need a wide band 02 or can i map out fuel and timing with the oem o2? and do the split second modules work well. i have read so much about people spending many many hours and never getting it right. again thank you for any info you can share. you were recomended to me as someone who is really well informed on supercharging.
you would need at least a wideband, however it is hard and next to impossible to drive and figure out (and remember) what MAP reading (vacuum/boost) and RPM you need to compensate at and by how much - you need a way to log AFR at rpm and map reading, then analyze the log and make adjustments - there are a few companies out there that make AFR loggers, you would want a solution that can log all 3 parameters (AFR, MAP and rpm) as that's how the Split Second works (cells are based on MAP reading at a specific rpm and the cell value is by how much you want to compensate the MAP reading, over or under the actual reading).
you'd also need to get proper injectors based on how much boost (max) you put out
it is also preferred to get an enricher to compenate the stock o2 sensor reading when your PCM operates in closed loop and you have boost (i can't remember if the unit you bought has the enricher built in or not).
there's a good tuning paper on SSecond website, give that a read - it is explained in more detail than what i just posted.
the split second unit is a realtime microcontroller, it reads analog inputs and a frequency (rpm) in realtime, does some calculations and outputs an adjusted voltage that replaces the stock MAP sensor reading - it is reliable based on it's basic design and operation if nothing else.
EDIT: if you have the FTC unit that one does ignition timing retard as well, same idea with the MAP sensor but in this case it inserts a delay on the crank signal based on rpm and map, so if you experience pinging (knock) you can retart timing based on boost and rpm to avoid it.
