I am looking for a wideband sensor and 52mm gauge for my soon to be turbo '01 5.3L. What should I look for in terms of the ability to data log, accuracy, latency, etc? I've heard of serial vs. analog logging, what's the difference and what should I get? My tuner uses HPTuners but I would like to purchase EFI Live for myself. Other than looks and price, I have no idea how to choose a proper wideband gauge.

A few I am considering are Innovate, Autometer, and Prosport. Prices all seem to about around $200 for these.

Innovate MTX-L

Prosport

Autometer

 

Ive used the LC1 and a PLX.. i like the LC1 better and i run it analog.

 

I am running the AEM one and using Analog to data log from it. Very happy with AEM

 

Can I hook any wideband to EFI Live or HPTuners for logging? If not what so I look for?

 

I don't know about EFI Live but with HP Tuners you will need one that offers a 0-5v analog output.

Here is the one I picked up.
AEM Electronics 30-4100 - AEM Electronics Digital Wideband Air/Fuel UEGO Gauge Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com



Mounted.

 

Im using the LC-1 and can log with EFI Live

 

Most gauges seem to do 0-5V, the Autometer says 0-4V.

The Prosport says "Utilizing the latest Bosch wideband O2 sensor -5 wire heated LSU 4.9 (Prosport Inc. is the only one in the USA to use them) our gauge now has the widest range 10.0:1 to 20.0:1 AFR readings on the planet."

Innovate and Autometer say they use LSU4.2. Is the LSU4.9 from Prosport something that is desirable? Benefits?

 

Hmm I know the AEM reads down to 10.0. As far as going up to 20.0 AFR I don't see much pros to that, not sure how often or if ever you will be seeing it that lean.

 

I picked up the Autometer Cobalt digital wideband, part number 6171. Not hooked up yet unfortunately.

ak2007r6 - What did you use to color match the pillar? I believe I have the same color on mine, is it kind of beige/tan? How well does it match?

 

It's not 100% but it's pretty damn close. Don't remember the exact color but I think I mentioned it in my build thread. If not I still have the can at home and can have the wife check for ya
