Hi!

I'm shopping for a wideband 02 now. I was looking at getting an http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lm1.php, its USD349. Has some simple dataloging functions. And I can also buy a http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lma3.php later, if I will really need it though, for extra USD2XX.

What I've found is that they have a cheaper solution, just a wideband sensor - http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lc1.php. Which is USD200 sharp.

Have any of you used LM1 or other Innovative products ? I want to get some feedback from you guys.

I want to be able to do some road tunning on my car, we got no dynos here :)

Is LM1 really a better value package than LC1 ?

Looking forward to replies!

:(

i haven't had any experience with the innovative units, but i can tell you that if its got some datalogging ability it make its so much easier to use. especially an afr to rpm graph. i personally would go for just a wideband sensor and gauge, why not make the whole process easier and get the one with the datalogging. you'll thank yourself when it comes time to tuning. :)

I have the LC-1 connected to emanage ultimate for data logging. Works very well and easy to use. I did have the narrow band output running into the standard ecu but I think the updating of it was too fast for the ecu to run closed loop properly. Although, I think theres an option in it to slow the response time down. Cheap option for monitoring A/F ratio. Havent had it on dyno yet so I havent verified the accuracy of it against another A/F meter.

If I did it again I'd go for the innovative unit - my dad and I built the 2e0 kit from tech edge and what a mission - my soldering skills were a lot better by the time we finished.

Cheers

A friend just installed this unit, about $380 ready to go.

It's not really suitable to move from car to car for tuning, like the 2AO, 2EO or LM1, more of a permanent installation.

But once it's connected to the laptop you're away. Add datalogit as per usual.

i built one of the kits from techedge www.wb02.com and its great! it may have been the older 2a0 kit but i've not really had a problem with it at all.

also havnt used it a great deal either but they are great! i need to plug it into my fcon and attatch the sensor still

I like Tech Edge. The guy is there to support you whever you need support and he is really friendly and knows his stuff about his products.

I am using the 2mb USB version of the tech edge and have found it great. I love the green display and can also use it on laptop if i like.

I would send anyone to buy the tech edge models because of the support you get in return is jut great. Where other products you are buying from a US company who dont give two shits about your issues.

Go the Tech Edge, support local company's.

+1 on this also! one of the reasons why i bought techedge

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
