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.

I don't think that you should be worrying about AFR on your way to SVA though
Cheers,
Colin

don't know if thats of any help though I'm afraid!
Ned.
you can buy just the gauge to show the afrs or the whole thing - ive got the whole thing , and nifty bit of kit it is too
Give Bill Shurvinton a shout - he can supply a suitable unit for very reasonable cost....

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

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

Very interested indeed I'll give you a bell later (you still on the same mob number from LM 2004?)
