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.

ignore their website in this case, i tried all of recommended setups i found on all sorts of sites and none worked. wired it up delta but without the option selected and used a seperate earth for atleast the heater ground and it worked perfectly. just keep trying different setups until it works

ok cheers, ill try this this morning, to me your way makes sense, surely the heater ground would put a lot of noise/ signal interference through the system ground which is extremely sensitive.

to keep on topic i got my standalone innovate from ebay, think it was $350ish

they arent hugely expensive, they are a local product and they work well.

I got mine from these guys - and the amount of information on their website, plus the speed of response for any issues is awesome. A++ would buy again

but the tech edge is super ugly LOL

im thinking of getting the LX1 display with 2J2 controller + bosch sensor = $394

anyone using this particular unit/combo, also thinking of outputing narrow band to ecu as my o2 sensors arent working

thats the setup i have except using the older 2J1 unit. With the R32 they use different o2 sensors and im not sure if the feed will work properly. (or was it only some of them that used the funky sensors?)

Just some more innovate info i came across which mirrors my experiences:

I was the original sole Australian distributor for Innovate and literally sold hundreds of LM-1's and LC-1's and can personally tell you they are garbage, I got sick of customer support and needing to work around their glitches.

Short story is if you use a proper AFR instrument (not a toy) then you will have NONE of the issues they crap on about! regardless of where you place the sensor and no magical "lean misfire spikes" LOL........ I find it funny now, but was not so amusing when I had to deal with that crap every day.

I use in my own car a Japanese NEKO Corporation AF700, it feeds into my G4 and also my BLitz boost control and all three give and log exactly the same figures, and my sensor is located right of the back of the turbo. The other instrument I use is an Autronic B model meter when doing back up checks or other cars, again never ever an issue. Both of these professional instruments use lab grade NTK sensors and not the hobby shack Bosch LSU.

Little tip for the day.

Not the most compact option Trent. lol. :rolleyes:

I still have had no problem with my Innovative, well over a year of everyday driving on ethanol. I installed an AEM the other day for one of the Stagea guys, not a bad unit for $200 delivered either...

Yikes! it would want to be better than the innovative at 5-6 times the price!

Question for guys running a wideband, do you use the aux output to replace the standard narrow band signal to the ECU?

Edited by battery

I didn't, I ran the narrowband in the stock dump location, the wideband a foot down and a temp probe right at the turbine outlet. The dump looked like a mess.

One output to the gauge and the other into the Emanage.

I have a bung welded on my front pipe after the merge and wondering how everyone is running the wiring into the cabin, I don't want to go through the firewall

I had look underneath passenger side but can't see anything I can work with.. Am a lil blind btw :)

Innovate released a new O2 gauge setup in November last year, It's called the MTX-L, unlike the LC-1 that has a control unit and then a gauge seperate, the MTX-L has everything contained within the gauge. This keeps the cost down as they were aiming to make it the cheapest Wideband in the market.

I run mine up through the gearshifter hole.

run myne through with the main engine loom into the passenger footwell

i like the idea of the controller integrated into the gauge. wonder if they're gonna be more reliable than the lc-1s tho. still use the same bosch sensor which is a little gay (killed 1 in only a few months of limited use).

Like I said, my Bosch sensor is still going strong after over a year on Ethanol and 100 dyno runs, mounted close to the turbo. I know moisture can ruin them if installed in the wrong orientation but I guess there are always bad batches. I know Trent had to change them regularly and I suggested to him it could be because the cars were being tuned and running rich as F*#K causing carbon to build up on the sensor. Only a theory though.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
