I was all set to purchase and build a TechEdge unit, but decided against it.

Innovative are very popular and must sell 10's of 1000's of units. I have mates that use em with only others that cost $1000+ being faster and more solid (read: output stability with altitude change)

Reading the output from something I made myself and then making ignition / fuel changes seemed a little risky to me :P

WB Shootout Test

Paid for by Innovative maybe, but Bosch's spec sheet shows the LSU to move around with age... so having a unit that you can free air calibrate seems to make sense to me (unlike the PLX)

Although some people have had issues with the LC1 (RF noise, heat sensitive etc) they still seem like best option to me. Ordering mine next week to push into Datalogit. XD16 and AuxBox should come in handy too.

My thinking is, many of the units out there are good, and are a god send when they work... not so when they dont - so support was a big + for me.

okay I think they gave replaced it or are sending me back the broken one so I can bury it in my garden somewhere

I like the first option better

So when it gets here Ill reinstall and let you guys know

From what ive been reading on the Innovate sites forum a few ppl have had theres just die on them

Maybe a bad batch

But for the price of the unit $220 landed in oz I think these would be the best buy

I'm using the xd-16 kit with no complaints, logging to the laptop in logworks as well as watching live on the guage, only complaint is I dont think you are able to log ecu parameters (tps, rpm, temps etc) in the logworks program or vice versa- Logging in two seperate programs is a bit of a pain in the arse. Innovative do have modules to take rpm etc but it just gets very messy with three seperate innovative boxes under the dash (plus a fourth for rpm etc) as well as an ecu and cdi unit (Note two of these are tc-4 for egt).

A mate has road tuned using the lm-1 with good results also.

Repost bruv, 8 posts up :wub:

The loggin issue through separate apps is stressing me out too. Using some of Innovative's gear you can log so much stuff... but its still separate from Datalogit

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
