wide band o2 sensor

i am looking into getting the PLX M-200 Plug N Play Wide Band O2 at teamfc3s.com and was wondering if this is a good one it cost $339.00 and the optional ngk wideband oxygen sensor cost $180.00 or if someone could point me in a better direction i would appericate it very much.

Something is not right about that. The M-200 uses the NTK sensor, not the NGK. I would recommend the Innovate Motorsports unit. It can use either the NTK or Bosch sensor. NTK sensors are extremely expensive (~$180) while the Bosch sensor can be had for around $50. Looks like the Innovate Motorsports LM-1 wideband is only $10 more on www.RX7Store.net (they incorrectly call it the Innovative Wideband). The LM-1 will do datalogging on it's own and has a PC interface, where as the M-200 has neither of these. Check out www.PLXDevices.com to get more info on the M-200 and the other wideband controllers they sell, and www.InnovateMotorsports.com for info on the LM-1.

Also, the NTK sensor is hard to find last I was hearing.

I am running an old Techedge unit V1.0 that uses the NTK sensor.

TECHEDGE works plenty good fine. Buy one. The newer display shows afr below 10.5, something the other units mentioned do not do....from what I have read on this forum.

I just purchased the Innovate Motorsports LM-1 and LM-3 auxbox. I have heard nothing but good things about them. They'll be in by the next 2 weeks. I'll post a review.

i have this one:

http://www.bmotorsports.com/index.ph...o-monitor-kit/

really good price, and o2 sensors are only like 100 bucks from them. i run my wideband 100% of the time. i like it the only thing i wish it had was data logging.. but for the price you cant beat it. if you watch this website i got it on sale for 239 i belive it was. and it reads down to 9.0 and up to 16.0.

BTW i do like it nice a compact i velcrod it to the left side of the dash under the guage surround, fit perfect.

You should look into Zeitronix. I like mine. I need to get a boost sensor and EGT thermocouple.

I have the LM-1 from innovate.

It lets you expand and add various options
they have a great forum with reallty good support too and feed back.

I log things with my AUX box. graph it see how things run.

If you just want basic AFR you can go with the others. and AFR gauge hook up.
