this wide band o2 unit is sema product of the year. innovate is about half the cost of fjo and you can data log the runs. i find this unit to be easier to use then fjo. you could own a wide band o2 system with data log for price of one or two visit to the dyno. i think it's great deal.

seems to me you are the one taking it personal. you are getting a little defensive with this last statement

Lambda meters are quite useful to be honest. I was pretty excited when I saw this digital hand held one. I'm glad to finally see a wide-band set up on the market. Sure the average guy could build one, but for the $350 it costs, it's hardly worth all the messing around and trips to the electronics store.

One question though, it this unit compatible with leaded fuel?

lol...

By saying "just a meter" I was illustrating the difference between your subject line "Tune your car!" and what it is. It's a passive readout, not a "tuner" - just thought I would point that out as it may have been misleading.

It is pretty cool...I was just fucking with ya cause you type engrish real good.

No harm no foul.

I'd say it's more along the lines of basic expectations.

"Hey, the inside of my fridge is cold! Good news!"

"Not one, but four -- yes ALL four -- of my tires are ROUND! Good news!"

v8huntr is always finding the good stuff!

I agree that the price seems reasonable. $350 definitely seems like the going rate for a wideband meter. You could probably build a unit for about $200-$250, which includes $180 just for the wideband 02 sensor--that is, if you are pretty good at analog design. I really don't believe the average guy could build one though--the heater circuit and the sensor interface circuits are not trivial.

AEM also has a wideband 02 unit that goes for about the same price. I assume it's very similar (I don't know if it has data logging capabilities or not).

Dyno tuning your car lets you see more than just A/F ratios over the RPM range, so I would never consider this a replacement for good old fashioned dyno tuning.

hello gary,

how are you?
i have ordered this unit with rpm pick up. i'll bring it by sometime and maybe we can try it on your 800++hp monster.

I've had a LM-1 for a couple of months and can say this is a great tool to own if you have a VEC2 or other means to adjust the AFR. It is more than just a gauge, you can log up to 44 min. of data from 5 imputs such as RPM, water temp, MAP, TPS, IAT etc. This info can be veiwed on a graph or on a spreadsheet. You should weld a bung on each side, pre-cat to get accurate measurements on both banks. Unless you want to use this only as a gauge, you need to order the RPM converter cable for $99
