I believe the LM-01 has the ability to simulate narrow band outputs. You could do that. However, Most wide band do not like excessive heat, unlike their narrow band brothers, and can foul up easily. I would suggest that you weld in a second O2 bung midway between the turbo and the cat. This way you will not get incorrect readings from the sensor getting too hot, and falling out of calibration, nor will you get a delayed readout from having a sniffer tube up the exhaust pipe.

Recalibration of the wideband sensors can be done by yourself, but it is time consuming. They are something that you use for tuning, etc and remove as the sensors can be damaged if they are used continually like the narrowbands.

Hope that helps.

evo DIY tuning FTW :D i have an innovate LC-1 no

put the sensor about 1 meter from the turbo but before the cat (as the cat will change the reading slightly).

a bung will need to be welded to put the sensor, and it has to be between 10 and 2 O clock position.

recalibration takes about 1-2 mins... but best to pull the sensor out of the exhaust so that it calibrates from clean air, taking the sensor out will take longer as you may need to jack the car up. recalibration only needs to be done approx 2 times a year at the max, for a turbo daily driven car.

keep the sensor powered all the times the car is running.

on a cold/humid morning do not keep the ign (sensor powered) while the car is not running.

once installed and as long as you obey the above instructions the sensor can last for a couple of years without problem in a daily driven car.

buy one from the states, due to aussie dollar it should cost about $250-300 to get one delivered.... depending on dyno prices it might just be cheaper to get proper dyno time than an LC1. unless you are inclined to fiddle a lot. plus the sensors are a little fragile and can die.

EDIT: just found that the LM1 will be supersceeded by LM2 so currently you can pickup a new LM1 for $280USD plus postage.

      That could very well be the thermistor, but the ECU only sees Volts. VDO don't seem to provide a 0-5 volt curve, only the resistance curve.... (or line).

      Yes. Probably, given that there is only access from the bottom end of it, go with a drill bit. Don't start too small. 7 or 8mm is probably the right size. You want something that can make a big enough hole to do some damage, but not so bit that it clashes with the steel or binds up and breaks your wrist. A slow speed is probably a good idea too. Once the rubber is destroyed, you then have to get the crush tube off the stud, which will be the whole heat/oil/cutting exercise all over again, but this time with the need to strictly avoid damaging the stud (any further than the corrosion might already have done.

      We replaced the connector just because we could and it was still there, once we swapped the injectors around it stopped. The injectors were something I had thoughts of replacing even before I first started the engine and in hindsight I should have

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
