Wideband Help

[Zeldoz]

So looking at purchasing my wideband before i get it mapped.

I would like to know if its essential or needed for when going EMB blue.

Also, I found one which appears to be what im after on ID-Workz but it's much cheaper than any other. I need one which will monitor on idle as well as when on WOT...

The main ones seem to be AEM & Inovative.

Ill be purchasing the aem one myself in the next few weeks alot of people use it from civics to skylines and seems to be a very accurate and reliable bit of kit

Perfect, So it's AEM or Innovative then!

[Chris Green]

Most people go for the AEM one. If you know what your target AFR's should be, then a simple innovate one will do.

That's a gauge only mate

[Chris Green]

It is yep, just showing the different options of wideband gauges. You don't need to have the 'sweeping bar'.

Yeah, it's a gauge ONLY. No sensor or wiring including bud

[Turk]

Y do people hate innovate. Its pretty much the same shit. They use the same bosch sensor so they are as accurate as each other. And people go and pay more money for aem.

[Stu]

I've used an Innovate LM1 for years - have also used LC1's and LM2's. All great units and I've had no noticeable variations when comparing against dyno room gear.

Dont over look the plx dm6 I personally couldn't monitor a live wideband while boosting and trying to keep eyes on road the plx will keep peak and minimum values for you stored map them out on a graph and show them on colourful lights like an aem.

Rob-h on here with the insane 4efte n/a said about them I took his advise and got one it can be linked with 6 other modules to show thinfs like boost egts inlet temps oil pressure and temps etc etc.

Doesnt need calibration and uses the bosch sensor same as most widebands

Youtube them

Also supports data logging

And can be linked to ecus

[TurboTobz]

The idworkz ones not what you want

[mikey4410]

Innovate are superb.very accurate.trouble free

found this seller to be fastest I got my plx from them came next day as its free next day dlivery worth noting they are also cheapest they sell a lot of different gauges

[triple j]

Depo ones are dodgy, my aem one is going strong well over a year now no problems.

[TurboTobz]

Think I sold my plx to monty-1991 name maybe slightly different maybe worth asking how he finds it

[Turk]

The plx dm6 gen3 looks the bomb!!!! I think ill get one when my student loan goes through
