Another vote for the innovate lm1 here. Does everything I need, haven't gotten another serial input so I can log the data with efilive yet though.

Very customizable and very easy to use. Some people get errors because the sensor overheats but you can put a copper heatsink on it to resolve that issue.

FJO is the way to go. I love mine it warms up faster than any other wideband, that I have seen.

i really like the fjo but it is expensive, for everything including the dataloging AND the dash mounted gauge it was over $900. http://www.fjoracing.com/

super easy to use, lots of cool graphing features and a nice dash mount gauge.

i would sure look at the cheaper one if i was to do it again, who knows it might be just as cool.

FJO system is 500 for the controller and the gauge plus the o2 sensor which they sell for another 187. That's pretty steep! That gauge however .. is nice.

What would an AutoMeter A/F gauge with a wideband o2 sensor do? Would that tell me what's going on?

Autometer uses the voltage of the stock 02 sensor 0-1volt. A wideband is 0-5 volts. So no, it wouldn't work.

Does anyone have any experience with the FJO / Nitrous Express Maximizer? http://www.fjoracing.com/ > go to Manuals menu

It looks like it supports monitoring and logging of the wideband O2 sensor you can use with it. I am planning on using it for N2O control anyway. It provided the O2 sensor support along with all the other critical N2O features (window switch, 6 gear aware, progressive control, TPS sensor...). ~$500 plus $150 for O2 sensor seems pretty good for the features you get. It appears they are actively updating the software as well. I have seen several version of the software (ex. they now support 6 gears instead of the original 5).

thanks,
Scott

Goto www.techedge.com.au to see the version 2 wideband unit from them. I have the version 1.5 which uses the exspensive sensors. The new version 2 uses the cheap sensors. The logging software may not be as nice as the FJO or Innovative but, the wideband is a very nice unit and can be bought with a realtime display also.

It also has a simulated narrowband output so you COULD put it in a front O2 sensor hole if you wanted as long as you verified that everything was good with the simulated output that you ran to the stock computer.

I see they have some new windows logging software that I'll have to try now. The DOS software sucks. The Palm logging software I hear is nice but, I don't have a Palm PC.

Check it out.
