Take your pick...

M18x1.5

It is wideband, and it's a standard Lambda sensor thread (whatever that is!). You do know a wideband has to be used with a suitable controller such as the LC-1? You can't just plug it into your ECU.

Edit: There may be some ECUs with built-in controllers but if so they're not the norm.

I agree - but for info Vems has the conroller on board - ( including the settings to calibrate !!! )

Complete shamless plug I know but hey its friday

Thought it might have been VEMS

thanks for all that,
i,m using a 1.8 raceline zetec with jenveys
and im thinking of using megasquirt.the sensor has a 6 pin plug on it with a little blackbox plugged into that,is this the lc-1 or will megasquirt sort that?


matt_claydon - 3/8/07 at 04:25 PM

That probably is the lc1. Should look like this:

M18 x 1.5 x 17mm long.


It's a left over from when I made my wish bones

i don't have the wiring as shown in photo
after it plugs together i.e the long black bit.
is that the lc1
thanks

Yes, the long black case is the LC-1 controller. That then gives a (programmable) variable voltage output (usually 0v = 10:1 AFR, 5v = 20:1 AFR) to your ECU.

I bought mine from diyautotune.com and had it shipped over from the states. Even with import tax it was the cheapest option at the time with the current exchange rate.
