LC-1 Wiring
How're you guys wiring up your LC-1s in car? I'm looking to have this setup be fairly mobile as it'll be used on a far number of cars, just looking for some setups to get ideas from. Thanks.

Re: LC-1 Wiring
Well you could probably combine a few ideas.

Re: LC-1 Wiring
I have my power and green and white grounds on a cig lighter plug and then I add a piece of wire for the blue ground and it can ground anywhere in the car. SO you only have to ground 1 wire and plug in the cig part and you are rolling.

Re: LC-1 Wiring
Yeah, not a bad idea. I've read that it's better to go straight off the battery , so current draw throughout the car doesn't throw off your readings.Have either of you tested this out at all? If it's not worth it, the cig lighter is a much easier method of doing things.
I was also thinking of using a long set of alligator clips with the appropriate wires, then the one extra for the blue ground that I could bolt anywhere in the car. |
Re: LC-1 Wiring
i made a harness out of pc power plugs that tap into a23 and a26 for the grounds and d1 and d14 for the power and analog 1. Easy to do, just splice a power plug into each of the cars your gonna tune and leave it in there. When i need to hook it up, all i do is plug it in! couldnt be happier with the LC-1

Re: LC-1 Wiring
hmmm, Its not perminant in any of our cars. But i have put the wideband in, and started my car before it was warmed up. You dont recommend this? Which pin should i tap into instead?

Re: LC-1 Wiring
According to the LC-1 manual, the LC-1 shouldn't be powered up very long b4 the car is started. When the car is first started it can have some moisture and cool air inside that when hits the hot O2 sensor, can really screw it up. Same reason you don't pour a bucket of cold water onto a 200 degree engine block...
better yet, here's a quote: It is NOT a good idea to connect the LC-1 permanently to 12V and switch it on with a separate switch before the vehicle is started. Depending on the climate and the sensor position in the exhaust, condensation water can form in the - 8 - exhaust pipes. This condensation water could then be blown by the exhaust stream against the hot sensor when the car is started. The resulting heat shock can permanently damage the sensor. WHEN INSTALLED IN THE EXHAUST, THE OXYGEN SENSOR MUST BE CONNECTED AND OPERATING WITH THE LC-1 WHENEVER THE CAR IS RUNNING. AN UN-POWERED OXYGEN SENSOR WILL BE DAMAGED WHEN EXPOSED TO EXHAUST GAS. |
Re: LC-1 Wiring
yea i saw that you shouldnt start the car with the sensor not hooked up to the controller, but i guess i skipped over the part about perminant 12V. What do they want you to do then? Tap into key on power instead of constant? I dont get how thats different than turning it on with a switch

Re: LC-1 Wiring
gotcha. Do you know what pin is key on power only?
|
Re: LC-1 Wiring
Nope, but you should be able to find pinouts pretty easy. If not, break out the multimeter.
I'm gonna go with CSaddicts idea on the ciggy + ground, I'll post up and let you guys know how it worked tomorrow night. |

btw, here's the ECU pinout: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread...69810#14369810 There's prolly one on HMT but i'm too lazy to find it. |
Re: LC-1 Wiring
I have had my LM-1 and 2 LC-1's through the Cig and they have all worked fine.
|
Re: LC-1 Wiring
Now Dave wouldn't know anything about this, but my LM-1 works through the cig lighter too.

Re: LC-1 Wiring
lol I had forgotten you bought that from me. Still working well?

Re: LC-1 Wiring
good

Re: LC-1 Wiring
Ciggy power works fine for me, tested it out tonight.
I'm apparently retarded though, and can't figure out how to wire the calibration button/LED. Any pics/drawings here, it was approaching 2am when I was wiring, if that's any excuse. |

There is a picture on the innovate website in the online manual. http://innovatemotorsports.com/suppo...C-1_Manual.pdf
