Wideband Lambda Sensor
Am looking at getting a wideband lambda sensor.
I want to use it to check ignition and fuelling so I dont melt my piston crowns on the way to the SVA centre!
Post xmas im not exactly feeling flush but have seen the link below.

Anyone any experience? Im guessing you'd have to drive with mixed throttle openings and loads / speeds whilst looking at the gauge and/or log
the data somehow - anyone any advice or experience of using one of these?

I have the innovate LM1 and it is a superb bit of kit.
Highly recommend the innovate wideband products.
How is the turbo kit for the CBR engine coming on?

My interpretation of the LC1 is that it is a contoller with loop back to your 3rd party ecu to control fuelling.
What I think you are looking for is a meter to tell you your fuelling ratio. The offerings on the link to LM-1 units look fairly good albeit without
a dash mounted meter.
The unit I may purchase is here and slightly cheaper too.

Geoff,
I have an LC1 hooked up to a megasquirt.
I use the megasquirt data logging facility but I think that you get an application with the system, never used it though.
See http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=27908
I don't think that you should be worrying about AFR on your way to SVA though
Cheers,
Colin

You should always be worrying about your AFR with a turbo charged bike engine!

Give Bill Shurvinton a shout - he can supply a suitable unit for very reasonable cost....

By the look of it, that just uses a Narrowband sensor...so only really useful for telling you "rich / ok / lean" not "lamba is
19.8"

Jim,
If you're interested in taking a look, I've still got one of Bill's LM-1s here

Hi,
Wow, thanks for the replies - good to know its a goodun.
Who's Bill Shurvington steve?!
If anyone's got any tips about setting up carbs for boost using one of these sensors your pearls of wisdom are very much welcome - otherwise a
long process of trial and error will no doubt reveal the way to do it!
Cheers
Geoff
