Anyone used any of these ??

There this Aussie one - from Tech edge

http://wbo2.com/

AUS $490 in kit form

AUD $700 pre built

(included Bosche WB O2 sensor)

There's this one - LM-1 Air/Fuel Ratio Meter

http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/lm1.php

US$349

Then there's the TurboXS one

http://www.turboxs.com/Tuner/tunerfeat.shtml

$US549

OR has anyone else had experience with other brands ?? (inexpensive ones - not the $1500+++ Motec etc ones)

Cheers,

Would I be correct in saying that you would have to use these as a tuning tool only if you have a standard ecu?

What I mean by that is that you would have to have two o2 sensors? The standard one to do its thing with the ecu and the wideband one just to view your air/fuel ratio?

Because a wideband sensor will not work with a standard ecu. Well it dont work with mine anyway, I run without a o2 sensor fitted at all.

Ive got an older type bosch lambda metre that i use for circuit racing and find it a great source of information and a long with an oil pressure guage would be a must have in big doller skylines being used on the track . Definatly saved my EJ20 when the fuel pump was about to die as the mixtures started to lean quickly and i just took my foot out of it. Word of caution however only the big doller ( ie motec) sensors have heat correction as i found with mine after 3 laps it heats up and reads a leaner figure but as soon as you cruise it for half a lap and reapply the throttle mixtures are correct again .

Sadly Motec=pricey.

One thing which i wouldnt be too concerned about is if they have temperature compensation. Great if they have it but word of mouth has it isnt critical for accuracy.

This idea didnt go down too well, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...highlight=money

i have the lm1 type from the usa... have compared it to the dyno af metre and its pretty dam close.....i would have no worries about tuning a car with it .. safe as all the other more expensive ones... has datalogging and good software....

cheers...

at present just its own datalog ... i believe datalogit is hard to get all the settings right between the two units.. going on what people on the datalogit forum talk about...

but lm1 is pretty cool for the price...

my car runs 11.8 af on the dyno and the same on the road with lm1 in the tail pipe....

so i am happy..... and its fast acting about 10 or 20 times per sec i believe...

the only thing i dont like is the small lcd screen but if you have a laptop its no worries...

cheers....

hi there, I brought, built and use the techedge meter. Its very good, very accurate (compared to the high speed AFR on a dyno dynamics dyno (in fact it uses exactly the same bosch sensor)) and I run it into my PFC datalogit program. Its awesome and allows on road tuning and full datalogging of all your runs :P When used with the datalogit program of course.

I would highly recommend it

thats what i found on the website.

the older wbo2 wideband controlers had to be manualy callibrated from what i can gather off of the website but the new ones are spot on now with the big money ones.

ive got a friend who tuned his car with one and then dynoed it and afr's were spot on, ive one on the way here stateside for my car when i swap the rb20 in.

    • We're back on, gang - Our yearly pilgrimage south to our favourite cafe for an awesome brekkie! Yes, that's right... we're heading down to Austi Beach Cafe for a breakfast run through the Royal National Park! Before you drool over your phones/keyboards, here are the details: Date: Sunday 23rd February Meet Location: Loftus Oval Carpark, Royal National Park, Sutherland Meet Time: Meet at 7:00am for a 7:30am departure Destination: Austi Beach Cafe, 104 Lawrence Hargrave Drive, Austinmer Map: http://tinyurl.com/saunsw-austicruise  RSVP: If you are planning to sit and have breakfast with us, please let us know, either by posting in the event, or by messaging us direct so we can confirm numbers with the venue. Itinerary: We will meet at Loftus Oval Carpark which has plenty of room and is low car friendly. This is a quick turn into the Royal National Park and some nice roads and scenery. After Stanwell Tops we will turn off and head onto the awesome Sea Cliff Bridge. Following this it is a short trip to Austi Beach Cafe. There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • YO- have been searching and searching for an a31 chassis plug pinout, or someone who knows which wire is for tach.  ceffy was flooded past dash during a hurricane.  having an electrical gremlin appear. tach is wonky reading consistent with a short, and on occasion the right side of my speedo lighting will flicker just for a second then go back to normal.  if no pinout available does anyone know if the tach harness opens or branches anywhere behind the dash? im suspecting a possible root behind the radio as there are more shorts in that area on the accessory loop.
    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
