Another very good one on the market is the AEM, im selling them around $100us cheaper than the innovate or PLX, sure there must be somone in Ausi selling them?

VEMS is also pretty good, not sure if you guys have VEMS agents there though, currently the AEM is slightly cheaper though.

yeah ive been using a aem gauge for nearly a year now, been perfect from day 1.

got it from quantum racing in qld

its got two..... and has full POWERFC support.

i use the LM1 for street tuning and in the race car and the LC1 for other things.

I use the LM1 connected directly to emanage or FC-datalogits for accurate wide band logging.

sorry must have been mistaken with another one.

whats the LC-1/LM-1 worth anyway?

Innovate LC1 is the best option if you want to leave the sensor hard wired into your dump pipe. If you are just using it here and there, the LM1 (or its successor, the LM2), is the better option. The LC1 can be had for $260 - http://www.ausperformance.com.au/store/ind...mp;productId=21

The LM2 is a fair bit more expensive, at $620. Whilst I recommend this unit for people who only want to tune their cars every now and then, it isn't worth the money unless you are tuning other people's car's as well.

This isnt an area id be taking chances on over a few hundred $, esp if your going to be tuning with it. The innovative gear is proven many times over.

for ACCURATE tuning i wouldnt go past the autronic. there is a reason why its 2k.

but i use the ngk one. good for cleaning up the map on the road. if you do get one, make sure it has a 9-20:1 resolution with a linear 0-1v and a 0-5v aux output. as most ecus require this for exact afr targeting.

the ngk one does 9-16:1 :s found that out after i got it lol. but does the job i need it to do :D big red digits and a simple air cal. has never dropped cal once. and is .1afr away from the autronic one. :down:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
