Wideband kit

[matt98eclipse]

Hey guys im lookin for a wideband kit for my 1g gsx and i found this

eBay Motors: Innovate Motorsports LC-1 Wideband o2 Lambda Cable UEGO (item 230228739073 end time Mar-13-08 11:41:18 PDT)

What are your opinions and what else would i need to do install this kit?? My mods are in profile.

Buy it from Extreme PSI...

Supporting Vendor + Cheaper Price = Much Better Deal

That wideband doesn't come with a gage at all but would work pretty well with something like DSMlink that would allow you to log the analog output of the sensor. I assume you can connect a laptop to it for tuning purposes and display the A/F value on the screen but I don't see that it has a way to display A/F with logged RPM values.

If you have somehting like megasquirt or DSMlink I think this will be a fine wideband as you can then log it with everything else for tuning.

If you don't have DSMlink then I think the base setup from Zeitronix would get you more bang for the buck as it will log A/F, TPS, and RPM, (also boost and EGT if you add those sensors) Zeitronix Order Page It's $79 dollers more but you get more out of it.

The LC1 is a programmable unit, you can set it to display for whatever voltage range you want through its software.
I just installed mine, alot of wiring but not difficult, just took awhile to figure out to put the grounds on the ECU bracket's screws (seperate screws for heater and system ground). I'd get the extremepsi kit with the gauge though

I belive you can get the upgraded LC-1 that includes a gauge for A/F. Go on Inovative's web site. FFTEC was selling it with the gauge. You may want to give them a holler.

After skimming the owners manual found here, LC-1 Manual I would say that yes you can. Plus from their site it looks like you can add several styles of gauges later if you want to.

The LC-1 is a very nice system, as well as the optional XD-16 gauge. The user manual is very detailed so wading through it to find exactly how to wire everything did take some time.

FYI: You can get the unit cheaper here:
Modern Automotive Performance :: DSM :: Electronics and Gauges :: Adapters/Wiring :: Innovate LC-1 Cable (Standalone Wideband Controller) with O2 Sensor

And here are some of the different gauges you can get for it if you want:
Modern Automotive Performance :: DSM :: Electronics and Gauges :: Gauges and Diagnostics :: Innovate :: Innovate XD-16 (16 in 1) 52mm Programmable Digital Gauge
Modern Automotive Performance :: DSM :: Electronics and Gauges :: Gauges and Diagnostics :: Innovate :: Innovate XD-1 Programmable Digital Gauge
Modern Automotive Performance :: DSM :: Electronics and Gauges :: Engine Management and Airflow Converters :: Innovate :: Innovate Motorsports DB Gauge

It took me awhile too, so I made a thread about wiring it here http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tuning-engine-management/286731-lc1-wideband-install-w-pics.html
