General Wideband recommendations

[FAQGSX222]

like to stay under $200 so that leaves a lot to choose from. I know a lot is just which a person prefers but I’m looking to see which one will give me the best bang for the buck. Any of them easier to install, which offers a little more control while tuning(Ecuflash for now). There’s so many out there I’m hoping to hear from people that might have used a different few and know somewhat about what I’m looking for.

The Innovative LC-1 wideband has been the go-to for a lot of DSMers. It has lots of support from the guys at ECMlink (which has been the go-to for DSM/Evo tuning for a long time), lots of issues already run into and solved, and a good product at a fair price.

I've been using the LC-1 for years without any issues.

Two of my non DSM friends use the AEM wideband for their cars. They swear by it and it has a lot of support from the community too. Never used it myself but seems like a quality, easy to use system.

I use the LC-2 and love it on both cars. Easy to install, easy to calibrate and talks/plays well with ECMLink. I am not sure how well it works with ECUFlash but I have had mine since I got into DSM's and liked it so well that I got a second for the auto car. But just my .02¢

Zeitronix ZT-2 has been great to me for over a decade.. it is fully supported by ecmlink.

I would steer clear of aem

Innovate without a doubt. Runs flawlessly with ecmlink and narrow band simulation on both of my cars. I use the Mtx-l models but the LCs I imagine would be just as good.

Innovate MTX-L with a LSU4.2 sensor myself for 4 or 5 years.. never an issue and given I also run a NB as a closed loop check, I'm pretty convinced the sensor is still accurate after all this time both left in the car during the winter and saved from the cold in the house.

However, I've been reading and hearing some awful stuff about the newer 4.9 sensors that come with the newer gauges.

Either mentioned is great

 

[FAQGSX222]

Looked into both and everything I’ve read has been positive so thanks gentlemen

I use the AEM analog style wideband gauge with ecuflash, works perfect.

 

[FAQGSX222]

I think I’m going to get the LC-2 from ExtremePSI. I’ve seen it cheaper on EBay but I’d rather pay the extra and deal with a reputable company. The LC-1 is a little cheaper but I figured the newer model must have some better updates to it. Any thoughts?

 

[FAQGSX222]

Scratch that LC-1 is more expensive. Digital LC-1 vs LC-2 analog?

 

[dsmspick]

I use the AEM analog gauge as well. Works very well and can simulate narrow band off it.

I had an LC-1 which I thought was wonderful.
If I were to buy a new unit today, I would probably get an LC-2.
I would get it with one of the longer sensor cables, the 8 foot one probably.
That would give more flexibility on where to mount the electronic module. You could probably even put it in the cabin if you wanted to.
I always felt I had accurate and fast responding analog output from the LC-1, which was easy to log on any logger with an available 0-5v input.
But you can also run the digital output to your laptop computer with their software on it to get an accurate digital log, which you could use to check your analog logs in whatever analog logging system you have.
The gauges are nice, and I look at mine sometimes during idle, warm up, cruise, light throttle (very light throttle). But am I going to look at the gauge when I'm doing a WOT pull? Heck No! My eyes are glued to the road watching for every little change in attitude of the car relative to earth.
So for me, an accurate and dependable log is the #1 thing. The gauge is secondary.
I don't have accurate or dependable logs from my AEM, which is the pre-2016 model. Maybe the newer ones are better, I don't know.

how did you manage to read on ecmlink I have same setup but i can not see values on the live datalog. I connected to pin of 15the on the ecu Am i right?
