Innovate LC-1 $199. There is also a company on ebay that will throw in a gauge for it and you pay the shipping. here is the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

How do you mean? Its a standard LC-1. The display is cheesy but its not an Innovate product. The LC-1 is meant to be a Laptop display unit.

You can also get an analog gauge for like $50 bux it reads from 8 afr to 18 afr.

Here's a link to their site: http://www.westach.com/products.htm#AUTOMOTIVE

The pic of the AFR gauge on their site shows it reading from 12 AFR's to 17 AFR's but the one that I have reads from 8 to 18 like I said above.

Spend the money and get the Innovate LM-1. You can't beat the data logging feature when tuning.

i bought the diy kit from wbo2.com with a really nice 4 number led display. you can make the kit for any sensor you want to use. i'm not sure ow much i paid all in all cuz the prices are in au dollars, but they're tech department is really nice and helpful and they talk like the crocodile hunter. only thing is you gotta call em at like 3 in the morning cause they're on the other side of the world. i hope i soldered mine together without burning anything up though or else i'll have problems. i should have it hooked up this weekend though, just gotta plug in the o2 sensor and drill a hole for the wires, then run power and ground wires.

That's the one I'm about to buy. ----, 150 bucks for a wideband and all I have to do is solder? Can't get any better than that.

Sure $199 for an Innovate LC-1 already put together with great software and great support. ;)

well if you like doin ---- yourself the wbo2.com kit is for you. just make sure you know how to read resistors or else you're fucked, if you need i can post it up. anyways, i went with it cause i really wanna be able to say that everything on my car has been done by my as far down as soldering together the wideband unit, that'll be pretty cool O0

True, but I like something I can read all the time in the car. I don't want to have to hook up my laptop all the time.

I've built about 8 megasquirt units, so I'm fairly confident that I can build a wideband o2

My buddy uses one in his eclipse. It's a decent wideband, but the price is a little steep.

You can get a nice display for the LC-1 for about $80 from www.Dynotunenitrous.com

I just ordered my LC-1 for 199.00 + 10.00 Shipping (not bad for USA to Canada). I fiqured I wouldn't need a gauge as I have the laptop anyways. If I do, I'll buy one, or I fiqured I learned enough in college to make one!

with the LC-1 dose it come with data logging software? On their web site it list a ---- load of programs that will datalog it but wasnt sure if it came with one?

bumblezc 03-11-2006 07:37 PM

Re: best wideband for the price???
 
Didn't look to that. I will be using it with Chrome/Uberdata/TE who all have support ofr it so I'm not worried

Re: best wideband for the price???
 
The zeitronix is a great deal. The datalogging software is ------- simple, has extra sensor inputs, and logs fast.
The PLX series is cheap for a small tidy package that includes display.
The tech-edge units are dirt cheap. This was the first major electronics compotent I ever put together. Slow at first, then pretty easy by the end. I accidentally hooked it up backwards when testing and fried it.
No exp. with the others.

If I was into ------- with other cars that didnt have their own integrated logging solution, Id rock a Zeitronix w/ display.

For Hondas, I like the PLX package.
Having a display all the time makes you notice things you would not normally see w/ limited laptop logging. How the car behaves during different (cold/hot/------- heat soaked) conditions, and you can start to notice trends or possible errors in your fuel tune.

The AEM wideband (besides costing about as much as an entire backyard HMT hackjob setup) has a cool looking display. Other than that, I think they are about as gay as boost gauges that read in bar.

Edit:
Just checked out the Innovative site. Hot dam, they have a ---- ton of products. If you can score a cheapy display for the LC-1, and find a cheap sensor from another source, youd have a very nice setup for less than the PLX.
Thier XD-16 digital gauge is pimp too. You can even put your own logo on it. A HMT A/F gauge would pull madd ho's, hahah.
