Anyone used any of these ??

There this Aussie one - from Tech edge

http://wbo2.com/

AUS $490 in kit form

AUD $700 pre built

(included Bosche WB O2 sensor)

There's this one - LM-1 Air/Fuel Ratio Meter

http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/lm1.php

US$349

Then there's the TurboXS one

http://www.turboxs.com/Tuner/tunerfeat.shtml

$US549

OR has anyone else had experience with other brands ?? (inexpensive ones - not the $1500+++ Motec etc ones)

Cheers,

Would I be correct in saying that you would have to use these as a tuning tool only if you have a standard ecu?

What I mean by that is that you would have to have two o2 sensors? The standard one to do its thing with the ecu and the wideband one just to view your air/fuel ratio?

Because a wideband sensor will not work with a standard ecu. Well it dont work with mine anyway, I run without a o2 sensor fitted at all.

Ive got an older type bosch lambda metre that i use for circuit racing and find it a great source of information and a long with an oil pressure guage would be a must have in big doller skylines being used on the track . Definatly saved my EJ20 when the fuel pump was about to die as the mixtures started to lean quickly and i just took my foot out of it. Word of caution however only the big doller ( ie motec) sensors have heat correction as i found with mine after 3 laps it heats up and reads a leaner figure but as soon as you cruise it for half a lap and reapply the throttle mixtures are correct again .

Sadly Motec=pricey.

One thing which i wouldnt be too concerned about is if they have temperature compensation. Great if they have it but word of mouth has it isnt critical for accuracy.

This idea didnt go down too well, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...highlight=money

i have the lm1 type from the usa... have compared it to the dyno af metre and its pretty dam close.....i would have no worries about tuning a car with it .. safe as all the other more expensive ones... has datalogging and good software....

cheers...

at present just its own datalog ... i believe datalogit is hard to get all the settings right between the two units.. going on what people on the datalogit forum talk about...

but lm1 is pretty cool for the price...

my car runs 11.8 af on the dyno and the same on the road with lm1 in the tail pipe....

so i am happy..... and its fast acting about 10 or 20 times per sec i believe...

the only thing i dont like is the small lcd screen but if you have a laptop its no worries...

cheers....

hi there, I brought, built and use the techedge meter. Its very good, very accurate (compared to the high speed AFR on a dyno dynamics dyno (in fact it uses exactly the same bosch sensor)) and I run it into my PFC datalogit program. Its awesome and allows on road tuning and full datalogging of all your runs :P When used with the datalogit program of course.

I would highly recommend it

thats what i found on the website.

the older wbo2 wideband controlers had to be manualy callibrated from what i can gather off of the website but the new ones are spot on now with the big money ones.

ive got a friend who tuned his car with one and then dynoed it and afr's were spot on, ive one on the way here stateside for my car when i swap the rb20 in.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
