Which Wideband to go with ?

[turbogate]

innovative can plug into a laptop, partly the reason im leaning towards it.

So does the UEGO, its just that the LC1 has two of those analog outputs compared to one on the UEGO. So the LC1 can be connected to a laptop and a ECU like the maftpro or AEM. However, if one is using the AEM EMS anyways, that single signal that goes to the AEM is then routed back to any laptop you may be using for dataloging anyways, so for me one analog output is all I need. Either ways, they all work fine.

i went with the Innovate LC-1 with the xd-16 gauge.

i bought it from dr. jonez. super fast/well packed shipping.

Just got my ZT-2 installed today. Love it!

 

[drjonez]

a few things to look for- can you free air calibrate it? can you program the output curves?

My boy here in town has one in his supe. I'm gonna check it out and see whats up with it. His car is NICE! I'm leaning towards the innovative kit.

Thanks dr jonez

What do you mean with this?

I have the LM1/XD16 in my MKIV, I've hooked up all the wires and power but I havent still installed the sensor in the downpipe.

What do I need so I can log the AFR's with my laptop and have an RPM scaling as well?

Are you going to tune the motor yourself or are you just using the A/F meter for a reference?

If it's the latter, i would use the a/f meter from 3 bar racing. http://www.3barracing.com/product_3.htm It's relatively cheap and let's you know when you're lean, rich, and on the money. Plus it can be run off of the stock o2 sensor. Not good for tuning, but if you're getting it dyno tuned the shop should have a wideband.

i mean just what it says. both those things are important and add functionality/flexibility.

some sort of device to take in the LM-1's analog output- eman, EMU, MAFT pro, standalone or any of innovate's datalogging options.

certainly not the best idea. you're attempting to use a NB signal to monitor AF....if you like blinky idiot lights, have @ it....if you want REAL data, get a WB.

 

[bentandbroken]

I understand it's just an idiot light, but it's better than nothing. That's why I said if you're not going to tune the motor yourself it's an option. I personally will go with a wideband, but this is a really cheap option for people that just want to know if they're in the "danger zone."

eh. from my exp. by the time a NB "AF" meter lets you know things are "lean" you're already screwed....

Question: Can you use an LC-1 with hooked up to the MAFT-Pro and XD-16? Reason being: once I have the MAFT-Pro tuned the way I want it, I will be hiding it behind the glove box so no one with mess with it. I want the A/F readout in front of me though...

sure can.

the MAFT pro gets one of the analog outputs, the XD-16 connects to the serial bus.

Sweet, You'll be getting some business from me once I'm ready to buy the whole set (not to mention the oil pan mod ).

Sorry to bring the thread back from death but which widebands have the many few have wired in and have working properly with the maft pro??
The PLX DM-100 caught my eye.
Just looking for something that plays well with the Maft-pro....

 

[bwest]

innovative lc-1 and lm-1 are a popular combo (I have lc-1). See what the Dr has to say on mkiii tech

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

i bought the lc1 today. i cant wait to get it here!

 

[drjonez]

shoulda just jumped the border and picked one up from me....

I have the LC1 and XD16. Plays VERY nicely with the maft pro.

i saw the prices for the gauge and lc1, and i got one for 300 Canadian shipped with the gauge. I should have contacted you 1st but i got excited too fast

 

[Mo87NA]

PLX 500 here...Haven't gotten a chance to install it yet, but I've heard good things about it...
