New Wideband...
 
Maybe better than AEM UEGO?
http://www.widebandcommander.com/productinfo.htm


As a world leader in motorsports chassis dynamometers and diagnostic equipment, Dynojet Research Inc. is pleased to announce the Wide Band Commander.

The Wide Band Commander is a tuner’s best friend. It provides a complete picture for proper air-to-fuel ratio analysis. Unlike many “Air/Fuel Systems” on the market that use inferior narrow band technology, this unit has the capability to read from 10.1:1 to 18.1:1 using a Bosch 5 wire LSU4 wideband sensor. This is by far the most complete kit available on the market today.

Once installed, the Wide Band Commander provides an “in-vehicle” dash mount AFR display gauge with a built in warning light, as well as data recording which can be retrieved and analyzed using the supplied software package.

I would have thought this would generate more interest than it has... Oh well...

Guess you weren't around when FJO was selling their wideband systems for around $900. Nice turning tool....so if if saves your engine then I guess it's worth a lot more then you pay for it, wouldn't you say?

if this thing has a warning light, how does it work...If it triggers at a certain AFR then the warning light would be on all the time except when you go WOT :scratch: unless it somehow ties into your RPM since your AFR will be higher at idle.

Looks nice. I'll probably be looking into a wideband soon...

It would need to know your boost too, cause at 5000 rpms you could be at any number of afrs depending on your boost.

I think tuning with a analog display would be difficult, IMO

i want one i just cant afford one

Herblenny 02-17-05 10:13 AM

LM-1 and get the gauge.
I got mine from Jason and also it goes down to 8.. not just 10.1

Also, LM-1 seems to have very good support and documentation.

DaleClark 02-17-05 10:20 AM

I'm not keen on the cheesy looking gauge, and I don't think you get a lot for the money. Although, street price could be better.

For a similar price -

That sucker is BAD - has tons of other logging features, too. Way more bang for the buck if you're in that price point.

I absolutely agree with you on that one, but for a guy like me it is to much money b/c I don't do my own ECU tunning.

Neither do I, but it's really easy for any dummy to look at a gauge and tell when they are running too rich or too lean...Good way to pinpoint when you have a problem....I will get one after water injection.

I'm realy impressed with the R-500 from plxdevices that DaleClark posted the link, I would definitely rather spend my money on that one.

Narfle 02-17-05 03:38 PM

thats way too much gadgetry and coolness to be costing 579 id put money on it being a piece of junk. does anyone use it or have reviews of it? and not the web reviews posted by complete fools.

The R-500 is not yet available, so there's no review on it.

Rayman93RX7 02-17-05 11:10 PM

PLX / FJO are both good proven widebands I'd recomend one of them. i personaly have used the FJO with the new guage and it's a great unit.
