Small issue here

when my car is on the dyno the dyno wideband read 12-12.5afrs

but on my LC1 gauge it goes down as low as 10s at the same point

I have read many threads on the Innovate forums and they say this is normal

as the dyno has the sniffer in the tailpipe and that can make it read leaner

(my wideband is about 12" from turbo in the dump pipe)

this has me worried that if I was to tune the car to the afrs on the LC1 that would make it way too lean on a chassis dyno

basically what is accurate and what isn't

yes be very worried.

my techedge wide band is within .1 of a AFR with Hunter All Wheel Dyno's meter when running it up.

Your unit may need to be calibrated. I am not sure how to do it but if you ask around a few people have those, i think The Mafia has one.

You should take it back and get the local product Techedge, if you have ANY issues he sorts it out for you and can talk to you because he is local in australia and his service is second to none!

make sure your wideband is working correctly before you tune it or you could damage your engine.

Sounds like you may not have it calibrated correctly in the unit using the PC software. I had the same issue as it was using a 2v spread instead of a 5v.

Also, I had issues with the gas flowing past the sensor too quickly and the readings would freeze. I bought the tailpipe adaptor and it works great now. The delay is split second and you're tuner should know what he is doing anyway so it won't matter.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
