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.

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 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.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
