Wideband 02 Controllers
-
I was going to see who in the area has a wideband oxygen sensor controller. What kind do you have? What was the determining factor that led you to purchase it? What would you change about it if you could? Where did you buy it? How much did you pay? etc.
I have looked at many different units:
www.plxdevices.com
www.fjoracing.com
www.innovatemotorsports.comEach has their advantages and disadvantages. I've been looking at the PLX M-300 (~$300-330) non-datalogging model because I'm cheap. If it could be upgraded to the datalogging version I would buy it in a heartbeat (when I am able to scrape together the cash).
I have also considered the Innovative Motorsports LM-1 ($350) as well, but I would need to buy $120+ worth of accessories in order to datalog. This puts it right inline with the PLX datalogging M-500. The FJO Racing is out of my league, unless I win the lottery. If that's the case, you better watch out for me.
I have heard nothing but good things about Mr. Lingenfelter.I'll accept opinions and facts, but please back up any claims.

Don't forget about the Tech Edge wideband units. I have one in my car and it works great. I haven't got a chance to compare it to a wideband on a dyno yet, but from what I hear it's extremely close. I have an older unit, it's their version 1.1, which uses the old NTK L1H1 sensor which is extremely hard to get and they're around $200 just for the sensor now days. Their new kits use the cheaper lambda sensors which work just as good. Check out the Tech Edge website http://wbo2.com/

Dont have a WBO2 yet, been wanting one, been looking at TurboXS's unit, I think its out now but the only reason why I'd like that is cuz it integrates with my UTEC and can log it accurately. Plus with features like seeking to tune for perfect air to fuel ratio, you just cant go wrong. I've heard about the techedge, do you just use a standard honda o2 sensor and adapt one of these kits to make it work? Someone wanna "edumacate" me?

LM-1... I love mine. Like Dave said; the console is unsightly. Other than that...
It logs the wbO2 signal along with 6 other analog inputs (0-5V).
Has two analog outputs that you can configure to work with your ECU and/or narrowband gauge (makes it read and sweep like a wideband gauge).
It works nicely with the cheap Bosch O2's... you can use the spendy ones if you really wanted to though.
Comes with software to hook up to a computer... from there you can view/save recorded sessions, configure analog outputs and set other parameters as you see fit.
It's relatively cheap at 370 shipped with sensor included.
Am I biased? Yup.

Oh well. It's worth more than what I paid IMO.

Just FYI, I know a salesman at Innovate... so if anyone wants to buy one of these, let me know and I'll get you his direct line and he'll get you a better price.
Give me a call at work (701)298-8865 xt 2272, I would like to buy one this week. Thank you.

Yes, 370 is still a great price for what you get.What would $370 get you? Full datalogging capabilities? :crosses fingers: (please say yes)
P.S. I need summer to get here, so I can get another job.

here's a log from one of the runs on Friday. I have no other signals hooked up to it at the moment. So it's just the a/f... pretty obvious what was going on though
Yeah, it's running a TAD on the rich side. :roll: I hope to get it tuned after the correct FMU disk arrives. Can't do much while the SAFC2 is correcting sooo much. Makes the ECU run crazy timing advances. Literally making a ticking time bomb. But I digress...
Anyway, this is it man. A rolling labratory. Between this and my ODBII scanner I'm beside myself with information. :? :lol:
