FYI: Great Wideband 0xygen o2 Sensor
www.tuneyourengine.com
I'm don't work for these guys or anything, but i just purchased one, and i thought it would be a good thing for a lot of rx7 owners here. I've seen this posted on numerous forums, not sure if it's been posted here. If it has, please ignore it.
but for $350 bucks you get everything you need to run a real deal wideband. I have it and it works great. Very easy to use, good software, and good product support. take care.

I just cut and pasted my last post regarding this product:
News Flash: The LM-1 w/ the Bosch O2 Sensor won't work with turbocharged Rotary engine. You have to use the NTK O2 Sensor. That is unless you have a 1" bypass tube welded in line for the sensor.
I have been struggling with my LM-1 unit for over a week now. Here's what I have found out:
The FD turbocharged exhaust gasses are much too hot for the Bosch 02 Sensor. I have been to the muffler shop three times now and have had three bungs holes(I need T.P. for my...) welded on my DP & HF Cat. I was trying to place the O2 sensor further downstream. I even spoke to Klaus of IMS and we have confirmed that I am having issues because of my excessive Exhaust gas and the sensitivity of the Bosch Sensor.
Patrick of IMS will be calling me tomorrow to see if he can get me an NTK 02 sensor to try out. The NTK sensor is less heat sensitive and should work since the FJO WB O@ uses it. I will have to make my own cord for the NTK, which is no big deal. It's just crimping 5 wires together.
BTW, the customer service that I have received from the folks at Innovate has been great! I will report back with the results after I get the new sensor. I just thought I'd mention this and save you guys some of the frustration that I've experienced.

i've been using the lm1 with the bosch for about 2 weeks now.at first i used the "stock" location and it would only work for about 5 minutes before it got too hot.i then welded a bung in the midpipe and haven't had any problems since.i have heard that you can put the bung anywhere in the exhaust and still get accurate readings.i would try moving it.
btw, i dont have a cat and am running a single 62-1.
