So i've really been on a hunt for a WB with datalogging options for a decent price.

I've come across Zietronix ZT-2 which is simply, pretty much plug and play with optional RPM, EGT and MAP sensor inputs for $279!

Other option is Innovate's WB, this is considerably more expensive going into the $400 mark but has better software and upgrade options. THis one is pretty much out of price range for myself


I've seen something called VEMS around but its an overseas product.


Any other ideas for a WB w/datalogging. cheaper the better :icon_bigg

I have the Zeitronix with boost and egt sensors. I have only used the logging software a few times, but everything was pretty simple and effective.

innovate motorsports products can't be beat. They hold a massive amount of patents, including the only one that allows for automatic calibration. other widebands cannot be calibrated, and will become inaccurate over time.

LC-1 is the only way to go, anything else is wasting money IMO.

it's reasonably priced, most accurate and fastest. with data logging capabilities. as you can see here, it beats out the competition, even though they all used the same Bosch sensor. it should be noted you can get the lambda cable for $200, it is NOT necessary to have a gauge, which in my opinion, isn't really helpful for actual tuning anyways, datalogging is a must.

Ditto, only I’ve used it a lot.
You can also log with a PDA instead of dragging out your notebook every time you want to log.

You can even wire a toggle switch, if you have the display unit, to change between vacuum and any of the other selectable logging parameters like VF :)

For you Zeitronix guys.

When datalogging, does it have the ability to convert it to Excel spreadsheet? Im trying to use the SAFCII auto-adjustment spreadsheet they have on the forum for easy tuning.

I am using the plx m-500 and this thing is AWESOME even though it is older. I have owned the ZT-2 and loved that as well as it is easier to use but the m-500 does more

Are you talking about the one I made? The one in my sig? The one I made using ZT-2 logs :D

Or some other spreadsheet?

Thanks. proof: recognize the password for hidden worksheets ;)

Let me know your experience with it; easy, hard, useful, not useful...
I haven't received much feedback but would like to hear some.

When i figure out which WB to get, and how to use everything properly, definately.

I've gone through it a few times, doesn't seem overly difficult.

youll be glad you did, it logs everything (tps, rpm, afr, boost with sensor, egt with sensor, and you can hook it up to the VF output on the user input so in addition to whats happening you can see what the TCCS is doing real time in relation to whats goin on) together and has selectable display features between line graph, text display and a gauge with a needle and text.. i have it and love it.

Wouldnt trade it for anything and they have offer the gauge now in addition to the display.
