plx is nice, but for the price, zietronix gets my vote. its even a good price with the readout.

The Group Buy prices on the Z cant be beat, although I do love my LM-1 and definitely highly recommend it.

you mean this?

Is it as accurate as the plx? Cause I was going to order the M-300 but the price of the Z is a little better. Is there anything about the plx that makes it worth the extra?

yep. The display isn't even worth it if you're not going to keep it in your car all the time, and it's been said that doing that will decrease the accuracy of the sensor over time...

Says who?

I mean, yeah, the more you use something...the quicker it will be worn out. But if your AFRs are in check, the Bosch LSU4 sensors are rated to last 100k miles in the turbo beetles they come in stock.

I have been running mine for nearly a year now permanently installed. A beautiful feature of the LM-1 is that you can easily free-air recalibrate the sensor to account for sensor life...

I've got an apexi turbo timer that also reads and displays O2 voltage and AFR readings. Would this work as a display?

Re:which wideband to buy
 
im leaning towards plx has anyone used this one

Sikocivic 10-02-2004 08:51 AM

Re:which wideband to buy
 
I would like to know what one is the simplest one to use. I plan on use it to tune a couple of cars so it would not be a permanent mount.

Re:which wideband to buy
 
I've got the PLX M300 and am happy with it for now but have been debating on weather or not to switch to the Innovative unit. I'm liking the dataloging features and versatility on many other vehichles. The PLX is small, looks good even if it is a permanent install, and only requires about a three wire hookup to use.
I was checking out the Zeitronix you guy's posted and that doesn't seem too bad either but it's datalogging graphing seems to be a little tricky to follow. I personally am leaning toward the innovative and will probably have my PLX up for sale soon.

lol, I wouldn't think so since the unit reads narrowband voltage.

Actually it will work as a display, since the Zeitronix unit has a narrowband output that puts out 0-1v.

Re:which wideband to buy
 
So will it work and will it be accurate? I think it might read for widebands cause it is universal and some cars do come stock with widebands.

Dr.Boost 10-03-2004 08:10 PM

Re:which wideband to buy
 
Well yeah, you can use it from the narrowband output, but what would be the point of that? It's still going to be a narrowband reading. :-\

I've got the LM-1. I like it. Only downside is the big box. I also believe it is very accurate. A friend of mine said it was exactly the same as the wideband when he dyno'd on a dynojet if anybody cares.
