I'm using an AEM UEGO as well. Thing is, I'm not totally confident it is 100% accurate. I have a feeling it might read a bit rich, otherwise my tune is extremely rich. Frequently seeing ~12.5 on cruis

if you're using the serial out on the wideband to the adaptronic then don't worry, the ecu will know the sensor is offline.. if you're using 0-5 to out.. and analogue in.. when the wideband fails ecu

I have been using the AEM wideband for 6 years now, couldn´t be happier with it. Works great, no calibration needed and all the electronics fit in the 2" gauge :)

I'm running the same unit in my car, and it follows exactly with the Dyno operators setup, gives the same readings, Not sure what he has though.

I personally run a NTK AFX which I bought on recommendation from reading through American forums with input from reputable big name workshops with tons of big hp cars. I was gonna buy something different for the other car but I think I'll just buy another NTK.

I'm going to get a 20L drum, cut the top off, and then collect all the f**ked innovate LM2 hand controllers I have encountered (Including 2 of mine) pour fuel in, BURN ALL OF THE dream boats, and then with the molten plastic and slag, get f**k YOU TO HELL INNOVATE engraved on it, and post it to them.

Innovate can eat the biggest, fattest and longest of dicks.

The units last about 1-2 years. Then they go to shit. They f**k up in a shit way - the AFR reading rubber bands between 10 and 40 AFR and is absolutely f**ked. Powersupply on the car a little shit? No problems, just be an asshole and don't work at all innovate.

The analogue outputs don't even f**king work properly. they have 2 analogue outputs - one works, 0-5v the other doesn't work at all even though they boast the unit has two. False advertising.

Their customer service is ZERO

Their response to emails - ZERO
The quality of their units - ZERO
The parts availability - ZERO

f**k them.

I'm going to buy a techedge unit and never trust innovate again.

For all my CAN BUS needs on the Link G4+, I have been using hte Ecotrons ALM-CAN and ALM-CAN II. I worked with link to get templates made up so you can just load the file and it connects. I have permanently mounted one in my car over a year ago and still going good. I have installed about 5 other units, and 2 dual units without an issue. CAN is just so f**king easy. They are all 4.9 LSU too, and now with the ADV sensor.

How much was it? Always looking for good prices. And link having support for it is a bonus.

I paid 345 euro 1 1/2 years ago from this outfit. http://www.akracing-shop.de/KMS-Einspritzanlagen/KMS-CAN-Breitbandlambda-Set.html If you hunt around you may find it cheaper.

I looked at the Chinese Ecotrons one first but have been burnt before buying from there so went with this one and no complaints.

Went CAN to avoid voltage signal offsets etc.

I've been having luck with Ecotrons.

I'm with you too - I like CAN because the voltage offsets, bad earths etc give me the shits when they don't work properly.

For sure! nice to know what you are seeing is correct.

can recommend the 14 point 7.com spartan controllers using the LSU4.9 sensor. they're 75 USD for the controller.

basic, but have a 0-5v output and are cheap with automotive grade gear. haven't had an issue with mine. haven't used the sigma 2.1 controller but has a display and multiple inputs if you're into that kinda thing.

DO NOT USE THE INNOVATE MTX-L.

They cook sensors, then after they cook sensors the gauge will cook itself LOL

Also there are two versions of the LM2, the older is a piece of shit because it uses the old LSU 4.2 sensor not the newer LSU 4.9 found in the latest version.

I have the old croc of shit version which somehow just shows W27 most days and some days work lol.

The main reason I use Innovate is because of their serial out, which directly integrates with Adaptronic also they're the only ones on the market with a handheld wideband which I use to tune other people's cars (not so much these days, as I just tell people to install widebands before seeing me).

However, I am game enough to try the new LM2 that uses the LSU4.9 sensor.. hopefully no more wacky readings and W27 errors (also wtf is W27? it's not even in the manual)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
