Gday,

Did a quick search but turned up nothing. Im interested in buying a wide band air fuel ratio kit just so i can keep an eye on these important readings. The Innovative Motorsports LM-1 kit which retails for about $550 interests me mainly due to its cost (the autronic kit is about $1200 i think). Innovative Motorsports also bring out a stand alone wide band 52mm gauge kit for $599 (i think its called the XC-1?), which may suit me better because i just want to view the readings and not tune my car, which can be done with the LM-1.

My questions to those in the know are:

• Can the LM-1 (or XC-1) be used in conjunction with the Autronic SM4 so that closed loop stuff can be utilised?

• Has anyone out there had any experience with these wide band set ups, and what are your thoughts?

The Autronic will be running a single turboed RB26.

Thanks,

Shaun.

I dont know if this will suit you, and im not really answering any of your questions, but there was a thread a while ago about a company that sells wide band AFR meter kits that you build yourself.

They were pretty cheap from what i remember (<$300), maybe do a search? I cant remember what they were called.

I just found a post by SK; he said that the "LM-1 talks vey nicely to the Autronic's". Gary, if you have any more info on this subject it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Shaun

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
