ebay im paying around $98 for innovate sensors (innovate lm1 and lc1)

even for the new MOtec setup on my dyno my sensors are $110

i was using INNOVATE but it is unreliable and slow, as most are well aware.

All Genuine Bosch in Bosch boxes.

When you say slow Trent, what do you mean?

I haven't had any issue with my LC1 mounted in the dump, perhaps its the lack of soot with the e85? You do give yours a hard time too. :banana:

I remember there was review in some magazine they tested a bunch of simple Wide band O2s and the Innovate had the fastest response time when against Techedge, AEM, and a few other brands.

not sure how that happens, the innovate has been pretty poor in other comparison's... especially in the trade. Warranty issues since they sold out to another company have been through the roof.

i had to get a new lc-1 under warranty and its died again now, they replaced it straight away the first time so there was no doubt it was a manafacturer fault.

anyway i purchased myne through this guy, was very helpful and returned it for me to get fixed under warranty.

as attached.. each to their own.. I just wend Innovate LC-1 because of it's dual output and because it is recommended on many forums

yeah its an 07 test, i used to swear by their gear used to use LC1's by the truck load in car installs (permanent). I even reckon if you search innovate it will come up with lots of praise from myself, but over the past 2 years it has become a joke.

DOA's and lc1's which wont connect etc.... even my dyno ran a few lc1's for v6 and v8 cars etc but the constant issues drove me nuts, i splashed on the MOTEC gear and it is chalk and cheese, never have i made a wiser choice the things it picks up over the LC1 is phenomenal.

I still have 2 LC1's which are backups and a Trust LM-1 (version one in black) the lm1 is 4-6 years old from memory and is a sweet unit just clunky and proof they used to make good gear as it never plays up.

BTW this guys is the shit for all tuner tools, great guy. Tell him we sent you.

Half the price of local gear.

i recently bought a innovate LC 1 and XD16 gauge.

had some trouble getting it to work, it was my battery causing this,

after a new battery it was much better,

ive had a few issues with it getting stuck on the heat up phase,

ive had to remove it and recalibrate it 3 times in 3 weeks,

the LOGWORKS program that comes with it wont load has a missing mts error, said to reinstall it so i did, still wont work still has mts error.

i have connected the anologue outputs into my datalogit for a wideband reading on my laptop while tuning. i have tried alot of different configurations to get it reading the same as the XD16 gauge(digital) i can get it even at idle but when under load the guage reads richer than the datalogit,

other than that the innovate is good :P

makes me worry that the readings im getting are actually correct,

i had similar problems, tried shitloads of different earths, read that you have to wire the ground to an2 and set it to delta an1-2. i tried this and the readings were different, in the end i found it closest to correct when i wired it up this way but switched off the delta an1-2. also had to use a seperate ground for a couple of wires i think, cant really remember. fkn weird shit

yeh i tried the delta an1 - an2, doesnt seem to work for me, so i just use an1 and have tried to calibrate it to read the same as the gauge, but under WOT it doesnt seem to be the same,

i have tried different earths but the instructions and their website say u must try to connect all earths to one lug, even the signal and heater grounds together.

i have it working now with the gauge but every now and then it freaks out and i have to jack the car up take the 02 sensor out and do a free air calibration then refit.

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
