Wideband O2 sensor & readouts

[luvemfast]

Thinking of fitting an AFR in the Z for the new PMC race motor. Will be a great tool for tuning the Carbs

 

Was looking at these digital ones.

http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/MTXL.php there are 2 different types, both US$199

http://www.aemelectronics.com/wideband-o2-air-fuel-uego-gauge-kit-745 US$210.90

 

What have people used and recommend?

These seem reasonably priced, but is it what I'm after?

Any interest in a group buy for discount?

Take a look at the SLC from www.14point7.com.

 

The SLC_DIY and SLC_Pure Plus both have a built in display, extra inputs for logging just about anything, including manifold pressure, EGT, fluid and air temps, etc. The SLC_Pure Plus 2 adds in onboard datalogging memory.

 

I own both the SLC_DIY (version 1, NLA) and the Innovate LC-1, I prefer the SLC.

 

Currently I have the LC-1 installed in my 240, but plan to swap it out soon for a 14point7 offering, either another SLC_DIY (v2) or an SLC_OEM, since I really don't need the extra features of the SLC_DIY, since I log AFR through the onboard diagnostic datastream of the ECM I am using.

Looks like this one is the best value at AUD$193 delivered

Should be a great tool for tuning and changing jets in the carbs at the track to suit conditions 

 

Edit -

This one AUD $163.70 delivered, make an offer option if you want to try your luck to get it cheaper.

How about supporting our Australian businesses?

Yes, agreed.

I will also be contacting some local suppliers.

I'd prefer to support Aussies. But at the end of the day, its $100 cheaper than what you posted

Ive got a tech edge wideband, had it for a few years and never had a problem, ive got the sensor mounted in a piece of pipe so i can use it as a tuning tool in any vehicle.

It reads identical the $2000 autronic wideband we were using on the dyno.

A few years back when i bought it, i couldnt find a cheaper complete kit on the market, obviously things are a little different now.

I had some money in my Paypal account so ended up buying the AEM 30-4100 unit after reading some less than impressive reviews on the Innovative MTX-L.

 

$187 delivered, plus it looks better IMHO

Will also use it to tune dads Scuderia stroker if and when he ever gets back from holidaying

I must say the US ebay ones are actually really good prices, some even offer free shipping too!

I kinda thought to justify the extra $100 its almost like a 'warranty', if it craps itself or something breaks, you can call the aussie fella and tell him all about it and all that jazz.

If it was in the USA, it would be a pretty long drawn out process.

I don't know about the gauges but avoid i\Innovate LM2!  I can't for the life of me get it to log RPM so matter what conditioning I do to the ignition signal.  Having said that the O2 function on the LM2 is reasonably quick so I would imagine the gauge would be similar or better.  The wideband seems accurate too....it tells me that my off throttle cruising AFR is 17:1...thanks to the crappy location of the progression circuit holes on DCOE152's....

 

There is also Jaycar DIY options and using a commonly found 3 or 4 wire O2 sensor.
