Shoping For A Wideband 02. Need Suggestions!innovative ?

[robots]

Hi!

I'm shopping for a wideband 02 now. I was looking at getting an http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lm1.php, its USD349. Has some simple dataloging functions. And I can also buy a http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lma3.php later, if I will really need it though, for extra USD2XX.

What I've found is that they have a cheaper solution, just a wideband sensor - http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lc1.php. Which is USD200 sharp.

Have any of you used LM1 or other Innovative products ? I want to get some feedback from you guys.

I want to be able to do some road tunning on my car, we got no dynos here

Is LM1 really a better value package than LC1 ?

Looking forward to replies!

What about Innovative ? Its easier for me to get them

[QWK32]

i haven't had any experience with the innovative units, but i can tell you that if its got some datalogging ability it make its so much easier to use. especially an afr to rpm graph. i personally would go for just a wideband sensor and gauge, why not make the whole process easier and get the one with the datalogging. you'll thank yourself when it comes time to tuning.

Hehe. You got the point there, mate

I have the LC-1 connected to emanage ultimate for data logging. Works very well and easy to use. I did have the narrow band output running into the standard ecu but I think the updating of it was too fast for the ecu to run closed loop properly. Although, I think theres an option in it to slow the response time down. Cheap option for monitoring A/F ratio. Havent had it on dyno yet so I havent verified the accuracy of it against another A/F meter.

I have an Innovative unit, works brilliant. I haven't used anything else but the response time on it seems very quick. Can't fault it at all

[gtst25]

If I did it again I'd go for the innovative unit - my dad and I built the 2e0 kit from tech edge and what a mission - my soldering skills were a lot better by the time we finished.

Cheers

Same here

Also user of LM 1 with dataloging, we dont have a dyno in my country, so i have to road tune my car, and the innovative is a very good model, updates nearly real time.

U mean u got http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lma3.php LMA3 for dataloging with LM1 ? Or LM1 itself has sufficient dataloging capabilities ?

[grigor]

A friend just installed this unit, about $380 ready to go.

It's not really suitable to move from car to car for tuning, like the 2AO, 2EO or LM1, more of a permanent installation.

But once it's connected to the laptop you're away. Add datalogit as per usual.

i built one of the kits from techedge www.wb02.com and its great! it may have been the older 2a0 kit but i've not really had a problem with it at all.

also havnt used it a great deal either but they are great! i need to plug it into my fcon and attatch the sensor still

I use the lm1 works good, as far as logging goes I only use the fc datalogit

I like Tech Edge. The guy is there to support you whever you need support and he is really friendly and knows his stuff about his products.

I am using the 2mb USB version of the tech edge and have found it great. I love the green display and can also use it on laptop if i like.

I would send anyone to buy the tech edge models because of the support you get in return is jut great. Where other products you are buying from a US company who dont give two shits about your issues.

Go the Tech Edge, support local company's.

i got the lc-1 kit with the db-1 gauge, i should of got the lm-1 so it was portable/removable, but other than that it works well
