Hi, i need to know if you use your wideband all time or just for tune in the first week?
And the best brand for low budget?
Thanks

 

I use mine all the time (well in the summer at least).

I have a innovate LM-1 and coulden't be happier with it. Costs $350 if I remember right.

 

With your LM 1 you use cable for record RPM and more?
Is not big for all days?
What do you thing of this brand ( Plx devices )

Garfinkle has a PLX Devices installed with the gauge innterface .

 

I have the PLX unit also and it works fine. (used to have an old TechEdge unit but it was flakey.) I use the older PLX with the L1H1 sensor. It's got a small fan that's kind of annoying but is linear, fully digital and compact. Display is very crisp but you never really look at it anyway.

 

I have an LM-1. I put it in every couple months to make sure all is well. I datalog to my Haltech so I don't need any aux datalogging.

 

Who uses this?

Duh, that's the LM-1 you're talking about ...

 

Jscott, at your idea with this wideband i need cable for take rpm if my engine computer don't have datalog program?
This cable is about $100.00, is possible to make one or i need to buy?

 

What JScott is saying is his haltech logs the AFR from the LM-1. If you don't have a aftermarket EMS that has logging capabilities you need the RPM cable that innovate sells for the LM-1. With the RPM cable you can datalog into the LM-1.

 

Any one in near Clemson, SC that would let me use their wideband to tune with an S-AFC??

 

Yes, what Setzep said is correct. Yes, I'd buy the RPM convertor. It's not just a cable. It's turning the rpm's into a voltage reading for the LM-1 to log so $100 is a good deal.

 

WOW, that inovative unit is nice. I want one!

$350 sounds good for how easy it would be for tuning.

I imagine that logging with my haltech, I could just drive and then go through the maps and adjust fuel. Then fine tune for power on a dyno.

 

For more money AEM have also good kit with gauge 2 1/16.

Chimeron you may want to talk to Reese, NOTA944, he lives in Columbia and has a wideband. He may let you use it if you drive down, but talk to him first about it as he is a busy man and may not have the time in his schedule.

Sweet, I've got friends to visit there anyway. As soon as I get my S-AFC I'll contact him and see.

 

I have a LamdaBoy. Very accurate and simple to use. A bit more expensive but worth it. Excellent after sales service and advice.

 

I had 3 lm-1's and they didnt last longer than 15 min. I got a PLX and never had a problem again.

Im sold on the PLX

 

I just bought a LM-1 for $309 in a group buy on a Porsche forum. I also bought the RMP/Auxillary input cable for $111. I haven't tried the unit out yet but it does look and feel like a quality piece.

 

Im getting the LM-1 and 309 is a good price

 

Why nobody start group buy for wideband?
I am interested

 

What went wrong with the LM-1's?

 

I don't know about his, but the one I used from a buddy was pretty flakey. You look at it wrong and it goes into some fault mode that it doesn't shake easily. Sheesh I spent more time fiddling with the sensor than tuning the car...

 

I read about people getting all kinds of errors but haven't had one problem with mine. Am I that lucky?

 

Just bought a new one and installed it today. I got the PLX device one, i spent about 330.00 shipped. Its using the bosch 6 wire sensor, it has a VW part # one it. If anyone needs this type of sensor let me know, i used to work for VW and i can get these all day long.
