HOD954 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I was wondering what you guys thought the best wideband is for the money.I want to get one to do some small tuning and to watch my truck while driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpspecial Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 The lc1 or LM1 are popular choices and not to expensive. Link I'm running the lc1 hooked up to EFI live. and an XD1 gauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.justin. Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I have the LC1 and the PLX M-300 and have used the PLX SM-AFR. For simplicities sake, I prefer the PLX M-300. Innovate products (LC1, LM1, etc) require free air calibration from time to time, as rich operation over time will cause the sensor calibration to drift. The PLX devices do not need to be free air calibrated, as they handle this on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 i'm running the lc1 with a xd16 as well. Was a pain to hook up but havn't any a issues once i got it working correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same setup, just need to have the shop open the o2 sensor hole more. The o2 is bigger than your normal o2 sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOD954 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Is the lc1 with the gauge worth the extra $$ over the lc1 without and is this easy to use? i'am new to this stuff and almost bought hp tuners to put on my laptop but wasnt sure how to use it so i just had zippy do my tune.will i be albe to figure this thing out and use it to fine tune alittle? Same setup, just need to have the shop open the o2 sensor hole more. The o2 is bigger than your normal o2 sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpspecial Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 If you don't have logging software, then you are going to need a gauge of some sort to monitor your readings. there are other alternatives to teh xd 16 gauge but you have to look around.

CoolBlueSS Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'm thinking of buying HP Tuners software, and I've read about the advantages of using a WB O2. My question is do you have to have two, or will just one be enough, and can you use one without having tuning/logging software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wait4me Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Another Plus 1 for lc1 with the xd16 gauge. It is very nice looking and very practical. As for free air calibration that is kinda annoying the first time but if you calibrate it in the morning after your vehicle has sat for 12+ hours, it should be free air enough. :> As for tuning software it hooks right up to my EFIlive software and fixes the fuel automatically as im driving. Pretty cool watching it change the airfuel right in front of me without touching it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestorm Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 i just use the lm-1 and hptuners, so i can log everything at same time. i dont have a guage for WB, but i have 2 vehicles that need it, so this was the cheap, but not cheap=out way.

SD619SS Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Summit brand wideband gauge & sensor , complete kit for $250 and it is a Inovate lc-1.My friend just got the Autometer one for $310 and it looks a little easier to hookup/install.
