Wideband Recommendations
 
I'm needing a new wideband. I haven't bought one for 3+ years. Looks like PLX makes some decent ones at a reasonable price. What are you all using? Thx

+1 doesn't get any simpler than innovate products.

I know the PLX has a liner output. What about the Innovate? What makes the tuner edition a "tuner edition"? Doesn't say much on either of the two websites...

as far as the m300 Tuner edition, basicly the switch on it is for 8 different lambda settings, Gas, Ethanol, Diesel, Methanol, CNG, LPG. etc etc

Cool, ya I gathered that. I'm only using gasoline so I won't be able to make use of that option. Does anyone know if the innovate has a linear output? I use Freelog when datalogging 02 and its much easier to calibrate with a slope and base. Thx

Innovate has TWO programmable linear outputs.

Re: Wideband Recommendations
 
The JAW also has two programmable outputs and allows you to create linear or non-linear outputs, giving it more flexibility in that respect than anything else on the market.

I really need to hook it up in tandem with my PLX and LC-1 on the same car, log via my USB-6009.

LC-1 was too picky and i constantly had issues with it. Running the PLX now and never had a problem. Works like a charm.

Explain to me how a wideband can be picky?

Installer error

I run the exact same LC-1 setup that Chris posted up the link for, and they work fantastic in both my WRX and Evo 8. It also has one of the faster sampling rates out there that is able to keep up with the obd2 MUTIII protocol sampling rate on my Evo, and the replacement sensors are dirt cheap from the local autoparts store (look for the front o2 for a 2002 VW turbo beetle ;) ). As long as it's installed and calibrated properly you really can't beat it.

Re: Wideband Recommendations
 
Which has nothing to do with the finicky nature of the Innovate line, and their constantly requiring recalibration once they are removed from an ideal laboratory environment.

I like them and can work around them, for the most part, but it is the truth.
