Does anyone know if you can buy the wiring kit for the AEM wideband? I have installed one in my Patrol but wouldn't mind using it in the skyline at times and i don't want to have to keep passing it through the firewall!

For $185 delivered i think the AEM is great! Helped me sort out some issues already.

Does anyone know if you can buy the wiring kit for the AEM wideband? I have installed one in my Patrol but wouldn't mind using it in the skyline at times and i don't want to have to keep passing it through the firewall!

For $185 delivered i think the AEM is great! Helped me sort out some issues already.

Where did you get it for $185 delivered?

I'm either going to get the Innovate piece: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Innovate-Motorsports-3844-MTX-L-52mm-Wideband-Air-Fuel-Ratio-AFR-Gauge-/120776925486?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c1edda12e

Or the AEM piece: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AEM-DIGITAL-WIDEBAND-UEGO-CONTROLLER-FREE-SHIP-AUS-/290497232176?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43a2fbfd30

But if you can show me the AEM unit for $185(Digital with analog outputs etc) that would be great.

If you had to choose one of these units, which would you get?

There's a few sellers on eBay and with the changing exchange rate they can range from mid 180 to about 200ish. Mine was 192 for example.

As for which it depends on personal preference, both use the same sensor but the Innovate can be re-calibrated where as the AEM cannot. The Innovate has reportedly suffered from a few quality issues and issues with requiring re-calibration more regularly than might be considered normal, dunno if that's still the case though.

The Innovate is a touch more expensive but also appears to have better output options, the AEM is simpler but appears to have less issues.

I havent googled it , but my wiseband gauge is stuck on 14.8

once i start the car it goes thru the motions and the numbers change but once its going it just stays there (14.8)

dont tell me ive burnt the sensor out as some big mountain runs the turbo was glowing red , its about 12 inces before the cat

seems like my sensor is stuffed , great bit of gear as its only 3 weeks old......

i recieved my aem wide band yesterday , post was extremly fast looks like the real deal

going to throw it in over the weekend , dump pipe already has a second bung welded in although knowing my luck the thread will be wrong ..... hahaha

AEM by the looks of it

Ahh, I wonder if this is the same issue the Innovates have and the problem lies with the Bosch sensor itself and not the control units?

I'd imagine you'd have no issues with warranty.

It isnt the sensor that was the problem with the :LC1's it was the control unit.

I had my 1st one let go within a week. They replaced the unit straight away but didnt send a new sensor as it isnt an issue. Been great ever since.

Anyone running the new Innovate MTX-L widebands? http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/MTXL.php

According to Innovate these are a much better device than the LC-1, and everything is built into the gauge. Plus as far as I can tell 2 programmable outputs allows one to be set as narrowband into the stock ECU, and I can use the second as a wideband input to my Fcon (although if I have to calibrate it I might put a bung in somewhere easier to access :whistling: ). Also looks like you can change the scale, which will be handy because I'm looking at mapping for 98 and E85.

Cheap too, under $200 delivered on ebay.

PLX devices are selling their new DM6 mutli-guage and wide band AFR sensor for $199!

http://www.plxdevices.com/wideband.php

The DM6 can handle multiple inputs so you are not limited to a single funtion it can also manage oil, coolant, temps, pressures etc with the right modules i.e. very versatile!

P.S. It is accurate to <0.01AFR

This is the best bang-for-buck deal I have seen and I am eyeing one up for Xmas :cheers:

damn... that looks nice!!! And I was just about to buy one of the current ones!

Depends how much you buy into that comparison a couple of pages back.

PLX was one of the most inaccurate widebands in that comparison. Kit looks sexy though, I'll admit.

Still looking at the MTX-L. Haven't been able to find anything bad about the new range, seems all the negatives are written about the older Innovate gear.

Hi guys,

This is something I've been thinking about for putting in my car for a while now, does anyone have any experience with the AEM wifi based wideband and egt sensor?

X-WiFi Wideband UEGO and EGT Wireless Gauge Controller

Apparently this works with all wifi enabled devices.

http://www.aemelectronics.com/x-wifi-wideband-uego-and-egt-wireless-gauge-controller-1158

I'm quite interested in this particular one, can anyone comment on it, pros & cons?

Anyone using the 14point7 wideband?

I've been conyemplating one for ages but that plx one has a much nicer display and would be easier to mount

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
