ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATE???
 

the price difference is only about 40 bux......without regards to the price, which one would you guys recommend and why. i searched around and well i cant make up my mind. HMT help me out nukkas!

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

INNOVATIVE - Customer service, the fact that there is a screen built in, 44 minutes of On-Board datalogging.

They also have a forum with a lot of users who help each other out...very handy.

If you search around you may find some group buys...I got mine for $309 shipped when I first got it over a year and half ago.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

im kinda with xeno on this. bottom line is zeitronix is the solution when it comes to cheap. no display for the $279 pricetag tho.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

PLX. :)

ECU Datalogging = Gangsta.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

dats how we roll :D

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

I bought the Zeitronix and it came in defective. I have another one now that I am putting in the car today. If I were to do it over again I would go Innovate or PLX. I got the Zeitronix because I have to use it on more than just my Honda and it datalogs multiple sensors without extra harnesses.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

Yeah, the LM-1 is def very portable too :)

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

Agreed. I'm very happy with my Innovative. ;)

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

i guess we should get the innovative one then huh Rener? i got 50 bux on it if you want and if any other socal nukkas want in then let us know..by that i mean MIke, Ablert, ME , Rene and MOe ;D

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

Incase you care. I put the Zeitronix in this morning and it works like a champ now.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

if you guys are sharing it, you will def want the LM-1...so easy to tote around.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

I like the Plx, comes out of my car in like 5 seconds. But I guess you could make any of them do that. I have a PLX and a zetronix WB, and I am using the zetronixs in cars that don't have datalogging, makes it nicer. Only problem with Innovative, is buying the pickup signal. The Zeitronix just has more options.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

Ya, if you carry it in a suitcase. :P

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

Lol :-X I use both the Innovate and PLX. I like them for their own charactoristics. The LM-1 is very versitile and can be used on many different vehichles/setups/whatever. The PLX is compact and does it's job.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

ok so the zeitronics is a bit smaller? and more portable?

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

Yeah its smaller but you need a laptop or the expensive display.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

I am very happy with my Zeitronix.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

I have the zeitronix...

I would rather datalog through the zeitronix software. It's nice that you can monitor RPMs, TPS, MAP voltage, and A/F all on one screen... plus the datalogging software is easy to use. :)

I don't want to leave it in the car all the time either, and I need my laptop anyways to burn new chips, so might as well just use my laptop for both and not pay for the display..

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

Which uses the Bosch LSU 4 wideband sensor?
Those are only about 30 bucks each. I think most of us pitching in would want to have our own or a few extra o2 sensors.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

The Zeitronix uses the Bosch LSU.

I'm computer retarded and I somehow managed to get the Zeitronix working(after a few minor problems). I was using it on a slow ass 166mhz laptop with XP and it worked pretty damn good. :)

i would rather data log through the ecu since what the ecu is seeing is what really matter, not what the zeitronix is reading. the only thing you really need a wideband controller for is for the 0-5v linear output to feed in to the ecu, that's it.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

well seing as how 3 out of 4 of us have lap tops ( rene, mike and me ) we should use the Zeitronics. I mean cmon, its like 279.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

My new ------- Zeitronix just ---- the bed! ---- this piece of ----.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

I hope you got my $35 from them suckaz for the R/T pot. So-Cal foe liiiiiiife, biznitchel

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

I like my Zeitronix, seems to be working fine. I hate the gay serial hookup tho, thats caused me a few headaches... Every laptop we tired to use took a dump on us cause all they had was USB. Tried a serial to USB connector and it didnt work eathier. Finally got a laptop that had a serial port on it and I was good to go.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

lm-1

its great

the datalogging is the best too

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

i didnt hear anything about the 35 dollas nukka. someone know who got it?????

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

---- that

Techedge > *

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

what is the price of the plx. i've seen they have several models.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

Cuz all your laptops are cheapo dells... serial is old school..

Serial to USB might work if you install a serial to USB software driver. It is also the same case for my E-Manage -> Serial -> USB connector, it'll work only after the software is installed.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

So whats the verdict?

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

even though im a noob here, i wish my car was up and running so i could chip in and get some datalogging...

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

which plx wideband do you use?

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

The new Innovate LC-1 is really nice and cheap too. They also have a new XD-1 programmable display gauge, that's the setup I'm going with.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

I think I am going to be getting the balla guage as well :)

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

why do some of you guys still call the innovate wideband the "innovative"? :P

Well I have the lm-1 myself and so far I am pretty pleased with it. Its great for tuning multiple cars. What sucks though is that I can't get the damn rpm pickup to work well at all on half of the cars I try tuning. So its sucked on the two obd0 cars i've tried tuning because i couldn't datalog through my obd1 ecu.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATIVE???
 

i just seen that in the classifieds. how does it work? i have uberdata and datalogging cable and laptop, is that all i would need for that?

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATE???
 

I like the Zeitronix so far, only thing I am still trying to figure out is a way to make it more portable in terms of tapping into rpm and map signal on various cars.

on my car i have tapped into the ECU wires and i have a plug i can quick disconnect.

but obviously i dont want to tap the wires on every car i ever tune...thoughts?

in the meantime i wanna get set up with ECU datalogging and an ostrich, and just use my ECU to tune and give these guys i tune for a final burn in their ECU.

Re: ZEITRONIX OR INNOVATE???
 

Make an OBD1 --- OBD1 harness (like a conversion harness) and tap into all the sensors from that harness. Then, no need to cut, solder or tap into any wires on the other car ;)

If you dont want to make one, let me know ;)
