has anyone put in a wideband? or and afc or both? suggestions

^ I've installed an Innovate LM-2 wideband on my X. Its a wideband, scan tool, and data logger all in one. You're not installing an AFC on your car are you?

im am using the aem uego with guage.a/f at wot are 10.0

are all the aem 6 in 1 widebans or do i need that one?

i used to run the safc in my gsx and i loved it, should i not run one in the X

has anyone put in a wideband? or and afc or both? suggestions

Yes. Anyone SERIOUS about modifying their evo needs a wideband.

Yes, they're all 6 in 1.

can anyone explain to me the diff between the wideban over the safc? also dino, did you ever look into Zeitronix

A SAFC is a piggyback fuel controller, a wideband measures your A/F ratio. Two totally different parts. Hopefully this helps.

SAFC MODIFIES your air:fuel ratios in some cars, and a wideband monitors them.

also dino, did you ever look into Zeitronix

Yes, it's a good product.

Anyone have a how to on installing a wideband? I'm picking up the AEM one this Friday...

still havent decided on one yet either

I hear great things about AEM's....so I went with them. Method is installing it for me when ever it comes in...

Do you have an extra o2 bung on your down pipe? If not, then thats your first step.:thumbup:

Hahaha, not unless it comes stock? LOL! But yes I got a shop who ordered it and installing it all for $250. So I'm set I think. :rock:

I've heard good thing of the Innovate LC-1 so hopefully I'll be picking one up from BVP within the next 2 weeks.

I'm getting my UEGO hopefully installed next Thursday....

still havent decided on one yet,lol this a toughy

I chose the Innovate LM-2, its a code scanner, wideband, and logger all in one.

Does it log knock....if not....useless. Hahaha. :jk:

^Nope, lol. But it'll do for now.

AEM all the way....

I am still waiting for a G** D*** a pillar with two gauge to mounth AFR and boost. :wallbash:

Same. Having to open up my glove box to read gauges is fucking annoying.

what abouit the perin pods? on the colum i think they look kinda good and it doesnt block much of your tac or speedo.

i was wondering that myself.... ima ask adam at perrin for a shot of the pod on thier x

Nah, a pillar or go home. I will wait. I know one company is working on it already.

who? and whats the time look like?

http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/index.aspxwho? and whats the time look like?

Those guys. I think i remember a couple of months that was like a few weeks or a month ago. You can ask them under contact us, and it might help speed up the process when they see alot of people asking for it.

And auto meter says they will make one, but in a letter told me it wont be a pillar design because of the airbags. :mad:

if the factory can make the apillar work with airbags why cant aftermarket???

i dont know why the companies are stressing because cars like bmw and porche and mercedes all have pillar air bags, but i have seen cars built up with a-pillar gauge pods. I think its just getting a product for a new vehicle made up.

*cough cough* I will need one soon:D

Why do some folks go with a Zt-2 vs say an AEM?

I'm looking to pick up a wideband, the tactrix cable and PCMScan (initially, moving to something that can log knock later on).

Would both the Zt-2 and the AEM be compatible with pushing data out to the PC? Looks like maybe the ZT-2 controller allows for the addition of an EGT and that might be a big plus for it?

+1^

IIRC, the AEM can log, but I've personally never done it.

Got mine installed. If not for anything else it looks really pretty when it turns on. My girls thought I put christmas lights in my car.

Yes it does data log if you go to radio shack and build a serial out put and tap into the wires of the AEM UEGO. Super simple, thought it would be hard but it wasn't. Not I just have to actually install the serial output....then again I need an actual pod for the gauge instead of temporary double sided tape, haha.

I might have to do this till someone gets off their @$$ and makes a gauge pod for the a pillar.

amen,lol

Does anyone know if there are any widebands that output to the PC via straight USB as opposed to serial?

I know there are serial to usb port converters and I've used them a bunch at work to connect to solaris ILOM ports and what not, but they are a pain in the ASS to get working right. I've also heard some folks say that they get dropped connections with these converters.

So, any of these output to usb? I haven't had a laptop with a serial port in like a decade lol.
