Cool new wideband sensor setup, due out soon Options

Innovate Stuff

The Innovate Motorsports people are soon to release a new toy for wideband O2 sensing, the LC-1. I just looks like a fat plug you plug a stock Bosch sensor into, and will dump out a simple analog voltage (programmable, even), so you can use everything from a DMM to your Megasquirt to some other datalogging tool, and leave the thing hooked up all the time, rather than having the big and expensive LM-1 meter sliding around in the car.

Now I just have to finish assembling my MS...

Trying to respond to multiple comments in a single post...

1) Mike, my ECU does not have ANY input for an O2 sensor. I hold the laptop in one hand and the LM1 in the other. I am the only link between them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Having the data-logger on the LM1 has been a HUGE help.

2) lapuwali said "this is also exactly what the VE table does, too, so this is somewhat redundant". Well, sort of. It's only redundant if you have a good VE table. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) The VE table is only as good as the guy doing the tuning (or his available resources). I like the idea of using the wideband O2 hooked up to the ECU and using the software to BUILD a VE table for you (or at least get you close).

3) "Nice to hear the LSU can survive an aging Type IV, too. Happy to be wrong about that one." Well, I wouldn't draw that conclusion yet. Two of us have said we've been running one for a year. So we know they will last a year. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
