Wideband Kits

[No Crust Racing]

Sorry should have clarified, I want a gauge/display as well,

[PM-R33]

Ah ok, then yes that would bump the price up.

Do you really need a gauge though? I've never understood the purpose of one since you only use it while tuning - ie you have a laptop there showing you the readout.

Given that the innovate kit is 199 with our without an mtx gauge or 209 with a fancier DB one and the AEM kits i can find has 195 for the sensor plus P&H or 192 for the sensor and a gauge delivered, might as well just get one and have data logging and real time output anytime I need it, easier to detect issues with tune quicker if you always have it on hand.

Personal preference I guess, I'd prefer a gauge if one is available for a small fee or the same money.

yeah it's funny the innovate stuff looks great, very nicely designed and rates very highly in reviews I've seen done. real world feedback though is less than glowing on their reliability. which is a shame as they are so cheap now. considering you can buy a kit for $200 I'd practically have one in every car. wasn't long ago a basic 4wire sensor, controller and display of some kind was $600-$1000 5 wire of course even more. now you can have one for $200 it makes sense to do some basic monitoring from time to time.

I dont know about that. If you have it you can tell if your o2 sensor(s) has died, or if your fuel pump is dying etc - all good to know. I really should get the lc-1 that's been sitting in its box for two years installed...

Also, i like the look of this; wifi connection to iphone for a nice looking readout http://www.ot-2.com/.

I believe that would not work with Skylines. It's an OBDII scanner; Skylines use Nissan CONSULT.

Waste of money in any case, they are useless at half the things they say they can do.

OBD-II is only one of its functions, it also takes a wideband input, and has gtech like timing functions (but you can get that with simple phone software, eg dynolicious etc).

But yeah, if its crap, its crap.

another +1 for Techedge gear. mine works a treat

Hi guys,

This is something I've been thinking about for putting in my car for a while now, does anyone have any experience with the AEM wifi based wideband and egt sensor?

X-WiFi Wideband UEGO and EGT Wireless Gauge Controller

Apparently this works with all wifi enabled devices.

I have an Innovate LC1 in my R33 too. The 1st one died.. but they replaced the unit within 24hours and now its brilliant.

I also read a few diff forums of people having the same problem with new LC1's. Just dying randomly or not working at all. I wonder if they had a dodgy batch of units at some stage? It must hurt there reputation alot. Most of the guys i know use the Innovate LM2's with no issues.

dont quote me on this but i think they changed production location/method to something cheaper a few years ago and thats when they started having problems. all the reviews on the net were done a long time ago when innovate probably were the best.

Thats my understanding too, a few dyno manufacturers even supplied them as part of the dyno, but i now know of two who have dropped them and reverted back to the motec getup.

I've bought 3 LC1's... 2 have died (not the sensor), I havn't been game to wire up the 3rd.

Techedge..

(same people)

mines the old model 2J1 (replaced by the 2J2) appart from the wideband sensor plug getting a little hot and melting (track abuse + too close to exhaust not the units fault) i havent had a single issue with it.

[PM-R33]

Exactly. The techedge ones are worth the money as they are that little bit better quality in every way. The 2J9 is the replecement of the 2J2 now.

Thanks for the help guys, ended up going the AEM.

Did you get the one off eBay? Let us know how you go, I'm thinking about getting the same kit...

[No Crust Racing]

Yep, the one I posted earlier, the price has just jumped a few bucks too due to exchange.

I also messaged him and tried to get it for cheaper, no dice.

Yeh, I imagine it will be going up and down a bit over the next few weeks. I'll keep my eye on it.

[No Crust Racing]

As for posting up how it goes, no problem.

I want everything for free or next to nothing and then I want it to be awesome, suffice to say I'm a bit of a whinger. If it has a problem, you'll hear about it

Excellent

Will you be installing yourself or getting it installed? I'm most likely going to install it myself, so wouldn't mind some feedback from that point of view either
