Re: Installed a Wideband

Hey Sin and anyone who owns the Innovate piece,
How much of a hassle would it be to swap to another vehicle?
Thanks, huero.

I don't know everything but, what little I know is that a carb can not be tuned without an O2 sensor. You can take the bog out of a carb or tune for power but, you need the O2 to tell you how it is burning fuel.
Glad to hear it is working out for you Sinister.

Thanks, huero.
When I hooked it up in my corvette, I used a square wiring connector, so to remove it all I had to do was unplug the connector, remove the sensor, and install a plug in place of the sensor.

Re: Installed a Wideband

Huero, I don't remember the part number, but it's an Innovate LC-1 with the DB Gauge. List is $229, I got it for about $185 shipped off Fleabay. The DB gauge can come with red or blue LED's. I put the gauge in an Autometer mount, that was about $15 IIRC.
Get one with the gauge or you'll have to hookup a laptop to see your AFR.

Re: Installed a Wideband

Thanks Sin.
Any chance you can put up a video of that gauge with the engine running to see it reading?

Re: Installed a Wideband

One at night. The LC-1 is pretty cool cause you can expand it with other Innovate boxes to log RPM, TPS, MAP, Boost, exhaust temp etc. You'll need a USB to serial adapter to program the refresh rate on the LC-1 and to log AFR.
Either get the one Innovate sells or here's one I got that works:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812107108
It's picky about serial adapters.
