Re: i just got a innovate #3781 xd-16 standalone w/ gauge kit and lc1 for $200
$200 isn't bad, but I still think the lc-1 + o-meter combo from xenocron is better. For a bit more, I got that + 3 sst chips + ssi-4.
The 'manual' is comes with is good, but the pdf on the website/cd-rom is great. The program it comes with is **** too, especially with the SSi-4. I can datalog the afr's on virtually any car with the MAP & rpm inputs on the ssi-4.

I would say that the XD16 is a great wideband for PERMANENT install...but not for tuning multiple cars.
The LM-1 is a better unit for taking from car to car...

In reality you really shouldnt start charging for tuning until you have atleast 10+ cars under your belt. If its your run of the mill set up you will be fine but the big power/injector set ups I would turn down until you have spent time on a dyno. Then inturn go to the track to see how the cars perform. In reality your proably better off parting out cars sadly.
The honda market is very small and poor. I would focus on welding more than ecu's.

Re: Turbo Vic's failed attempt at becoming a tuner research thread SFW
I use a m-300, its real easy to move, I got a cirarette adapter that I plug in the car i'm in and power it with that, just crack the window for the sensor wire, splice into the ecu signal wire and ur ready to rock. Maybe there are easier units out there, I've never really heard any good feedback on good units for going car-car with.
