Default Air/fuel Ratio guage will it work on stock narrowband?

Hey, I just got a faze air/fuel ratio guage, Is it going to work at all on the stock o2 sensors? I know that I SHOULD get a wideband which I am soon enough im just wondering if it will work for now or are my readings going to be all over the place?

+1, wideband is the only trustworthy one.

But yes, it should be universal through most o2 sensors, just the color of the wire on the sensor might differ between brand of car/o2 sensor

it will definitely work on a narrowband setup, but the reading wont be accurate enough to tune with. Good enough for a rough idea and maybe look good but pointless IMO.

a long time ago i asked a question about getting a SAFC or Emanage and just using a narrowband to tune and was told the same thing. It's gonna hop around no matter, specially if it's an ebay one or something. None will really be trustworthy if they're narrowband, but if you're just running some bolt ons it's not really necesarry to have a wideband, so you would get a light show from A/F gauge instead lol (rice?)
