ECUflash Wideband Friendly with Evoscan/ Ecuflash

[my dreamt dsm]

Finally looking into getting a wideband. I was wondering which works better with evoscan/ ecuflash... aem or innovate? Or it doesn't matter?

Post #4 last paragraph got me confused.

I'm just looking for plug and play, ready to go set up.

I have an AEM and it plays fine with evoscan, I plan on switching to Innovate this summer though, they look better and claim to be more accurate. Both are solid choices.

Yeah, I know you're one of the guys that know how to touch evoscan/ ecuflash. I was hoping you chime in. So aem is fine then. I'm saving $$$ where I can.

Yep, just solder the wires into a comm port and then plug it into your laptop, my laptop doesnt have a comm port so i need to use a comm to usb adapter. Then simply go into evoscan in the top menu bar where it says wideband select your comm port and then it logs fine under "External Wideband A/F Ratio"

I went with the Innovate MTX instead. Did a search on here and many vouch for it. Aem was problematic somewhat of a bad pick out of the litter type deal.

I have an innovate that works just fine in the evo with evoscan/flash

Good choice, Like i said i am switching and i cant wait, just need the funds.

Just to add for those who find this thread later on with the same question. I have an AEM UEGO that I log with Evoscan; I'm looking to upgrade to the Innovate MTX-L. I like my AEM and all, but I only got it instead of the LC1 because I didn't want to deal with the controller. Plus, the MTX-L wasn't available at the time.

If you're looking to log it through the ECU, AEM is a PITA. Every revision uses a different formula, and none of the formulas are straight-forward. Why they make them such a PITA for 5v logging is beyond my understanding. In my case, no formula I found worked to get mine to read/log properly, so I've settled with tweaking a formula to make it "close-enough" to what the gauge actually reads.

Meanwhile, if you're planning to log it via a serial port or USB adapter, I hear they work just fine. Since you're running the H8 ECU, you wouldn't really have a problem there. In my case I want to use it for the safety features of Tephramods on the Evo 8 ECU, so I need to log it through the ECU. Now that I know that the ECU is setup in particular for the nice and stable LC1/MTX-L and not for the AEM (too many revisions to code) I'm opting to move to Innovate.

The Innovate gauges offer a faster refresh rate, stable/standard formulas for your ECU or Evoscan, a wider range of readable AFR values, two user definable 5v outputs, and the MTX-L doesn't require a controller. Short of having to calibrate the sensor once in a while, it's a much better option in my opinion.

I'm glad to see you chose the MTX-L in the end, I'd say you've made the right choice.

Using the AEM UEGO here and it works fine for me in EVOSCAN. I did have to use a Belkin serial adapter though, I bought a cheap one on ebay and couldn't get it to work.

 

[my dreamt dsm]

Yep so far since the purchase I've been happy with the wideband. I highly recommend it.

I also run the AEM wideband and have had zero issues running it with ECUFlash/Evoscan.

My vote clean for the mtx-l no matter what ecu you have. Its the most versatile and programmable
