For those searching for a wideband meter
Well, that depends on what you need ... I got my LC-1 for $180. It doesn't have any type of display, but I only needed it for logging, so the display didn't interest me. you cannot get a Zeitronics for that price.
Don't you need something else to log rpm & TPS or does the lc-1 also log that? Oh, I guess you could also use evoscan / mitsulogger to log that too.
I find it hilarious that innovate bought a 1/3 column ad payable to fordmuscle along this page here:

They also have google ads below that.
Biased marketing at it's best! Everyone is for sale...

If you go to this page on the predator gas/diesel tuning product you will see the google ads change to diesel related ads:

It also has a mustang in that article and a 175x385 ad comes up about a mustang which leads me to believe those ads are also being served up via keywords.
Welcome to the internet.

At least I feel it's better
Who cares?? I use a ZT2 and used to argue bout this ****. But to tell you the truth, It does not mater. I almost bought a LC1 because I was gonna put the zt2 in another car. The LC1 does stuff better then the ZT2 but the ZT2 can do thing the innovative products cant. Blah, blah They each have their high and low points. UCB, on norcalevo.net also brought up a bunch of good points about this newer test.
regardless, a test in a lab doesnt matter to me. What really matter is a results and there is a ton of fast cars and great tuners using both widebands, therefore I think either wideband is great.

First, Your accuracy test dates back to July 2004. This one just appeared. Your article tested the LM1. This article tests the LC1. Your article is so old, there was no LC1 back then.
Second, You modified the actual magazine and added the words "Horiba" to it. JJF caught you in the act changing the magazine.
Third, This test that you post about does NOT use a gas of known lambda/AFR to gauge accuracy of the widebands. Who set the NTK (which you claim is a Horriba) as thge standard for accuracy? Is it because it is expensive? Is that the measure of accuracy?
Fourth, The same article that you posted also states that the LM-1 is the best AFR meter for track use. You do not mention that. You simply skip over it. . .

location on a pipe filled with a gas should not matter. If it weren't for the possibility of condensation hitting the sensor there would not be a "bad" location on the pipe to mount it. So even if the test were done on a car, with real exhaust gas, location on the pipe would have no effect on the sensors readings. (During a test in which condensation could be controlled.) In fact since they mounted all the sensors close together there is less reason to complain about the outcome.
BUT the important thing is not which one is most accurate, the important thing is the tuner acknowledging that what the numbers are is secondary to what the motor is telling him. The numbers mean little until they are matched to the motor's wishes.
To that end the only important issue with a wideband is consistency.
