Innovate DB wideband afr gauge
lotusmadandy - 4/11/11 at 06:45 PM

I need the advice of the masses again.

On impulse,i have just bought a brand new Innovate DB wieband gauge on the bay.
What i SHOULD have done FIRST,was look on the website and i would have realised
that that gauge comes in a kit with a controller.

The only manual i can find is telling me to wire it into the controller,that i dont have
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to use this gauge with a five wire labda,without the controller
To measure the AFR?

Or have i just wasted 50 quid

Thank's

Yes , I think you will need a controller.................



I really hope I am wrong on this one!

Oh bugger......

A waste of money then

Thats what i get for not doing my homework first.

You can either look at is as having wasted £50 or spent the first installment on £180....

If its any consolation, I bought an Innovate LC1 ages ago, thinking it came with a gauge ! Guess what it didnt.



I have the LC1 - You have the gauge....



Its on the long list of parts and bits I would like - just non essential



If you want shot - let me know...

Cheapest wideband kit you get is the aem uego one and it's all contained in the gauge so no separate controllers I bought one from America for 130 quid just waiting for it to be delivered

?? Last time I spoke to Bill Shurvinton, this was his price for the basic innovate one....but this was a few years ago...

When I was looking the innovate was about 20-30 quid more than the aem one
