I still use the zeitronix /kavilco boost sensor to log boost works fairly well. Still does not beat a closed loop boost control system.

I'm still debating if to hook up the kavilco to the Xede or getting the LMA-3 'auxbox" and XD-1 to replace my zeitronix since I now only use boost and rpm. The LMA-3 has a built in map/boost sensor, rpm, EGT, accelerometer,dwell meter and various programable input channels plus Logworks2 is a kick *** program needing no manipulation of csv files formulas and spreadsheets to get meaninful data.

 

I've looked into that auxbox, but you need an LM-1 also, which makes it a $600 kit. thats a bit damn pricy just to have good datalogging, when you should be able to do it all inside your tuning solution anyway.

 

Turns out its not THAT big of a deal. The xede works in a numerical fashion, meaning that when it is asked to read a calculated load which doesn't make sense, it simply skips the problem number, so that it does.

So what does that mean? It means that the 32 is skipped, and that row never comes into play. Never the less, we will still get that fixed.

 

Actually with the V2 of Logworks and updated firmware (just released) you don't need the LM-1, only the serial connection between the devices.

While this could be a nice solution, the best option as you cited would be to hook up a map sensor to the Xede and do all the logging via the Xede with proper software (e.g. doesn't require computing AFR, etc).

I should have cited in stop-and-go city driving is where I'm finding the smart timing advance to help a great deal. Also notable with the low RPM torque improvement one doesn't need as much throttle to launch the car, thus one would expect that clutch life will improve.

In my case I'm running a '03. Zero issues to date. Knock on wood (sic).

 

I have strongly considered the LMA-3 / LC-1 combination as an addition to my current in car setup. If the LMA-3 could generate an output as well to feed the Xede for closed loop boost control then I would be sold. Perhaps I could open the box and fish out the signal that has to be present...

 

I found this on the LogWorks2 manual. I guess it's worth a try to build one and use it to power the Kavilco sensor hooked up to AN2in.

I still think that LC1>LMA3>XD-1>PC for datalogging and monitoring is a kick *** setup.

 

Ok, so this is a new thing then. I had emailed Innovate about this just two months ago, and got the response that 'no, it wont work without an LM-1'

 

The firmware is posted on their forum.

 

I noticed it a long time ago, just did not pay any attention to it...
