Techgauges? Wideband suggestions?
Techgauges? Wideband suggestions?
Anybody ever used one of these for the Evo? I need a wide band of some sort, and I'm trying to stay away from something that has to be permanently installed somewhere. Not a fan of sticking little electronic boxes and stuff everywhere. Anyway, they have one for the SRT-4, just wondering if it'd work on the Evo, or if anybody had experience with them. If not, what would you all recommend for a wideband?

An interesting article testing several Wideband A/F meters, and Innovate was
the clear winner !

Especially this comment in the article is very interesting :
"We did try to emulate this idea using a variety of old and damaged sensors we had laying around. With one of these sensors, the Innovate XD-16 would show an error code indicating that the sensor was bad. However, when we connected the same damaged sensor to any of the analog gauges they read as much as 3 AFR off. Again, the obvious question is: If your gauge can't tell you when a sensor is bad, how could you ever trust it?"
It is obvious that the Innovate A/F Meters have an advantage over the others
when it comes to accuracy and response time, but the fact that the Innovate is the ONLY one of the tested units that actually detected a failed Lambda sensor is truly something.
The last thing you want to have is an inaccurate A/F reading when tuning your engine...And not knowing about it !
I have used the LM-1 and Auxbox in a variety of centrifugally supercharged quartermile dragracers, seriously turbocharged 4-cylinders and daily drivers without a flaw.
