You guys talking bad about innovate widebands are nutz. My lm-1 has lasted me years Ive only went through about 4 sensors. And one of those was stolen from me at a dyno the shop tuner did the old switcharoo on me with one of his dead sensors mine was new from the box so he saw his chance and took it.
   Ive fried the outputs on my lm-1 twice both were my fault. Innovate fixed it for free the first time and I only had to pay $40 to get it fixed the last time. theyve got great support you can call Phillipe anytime and if you need advice on something.

  If your running a wideband on multiple cars I'd suggest making a heatsink for it out of a piece of sheet metal it helps keep them consistant if youve got an open dp car with the o2 bung close to the turbo.
       Ive you have voltage problems with an lm-1 then thats just letting you know the car has some shoddy wiring problem dirty battery terminal a weak alternator or bad grounds and all the above fix that stuff first then tune it.

I've had my AEM UEGO now for about 2 and 1/2 years. Same sensor, no problems. Only issue I started having was when I installed a resonator. That slowed the response on the gauge a bit.

Aside from the fact it's never been accurate in the first place, that does sound like a good experience.

Hurr durr durr durr.

I have a JAW in a box that I never got around to using.  I think it's time I got off of my ass.

I thought that my wideband was dead since megatune or tunerstudio wasn't receiving a signal therefore not displaying any AFRs on the dashboard.

So i checked my WB:

its has power, element is heating
checked to make sure there was continuity from the WB 5v out to the MS, it was fine
Checked to make sure there was continuity from the pins on the db connector, was fine
checked the actual voltage, always fell between 0-5v, although it did show over 5v which was odd but maybe i wasn't paying attention.

So i checked MT, exhaust settings were set to WB, the TEchedge linear WB was configured.

Fucking fuck. i want a corvette.

Well update:

I hooked up my techedge software and it worked fine go figure, so then i hook up Megatune and athe fucker works.  I guess it was a MS thing, eitherway it fixed itself.

BUT, there is a slight variation in readings.

the megatune software reads slightly leaner than the actual logger software from the techedge.

for instance.

software 13.1 13.2 13.3
megatune: 13. 2 13.3 13.6

Both iirc are grounded at the block, or at least into my grounding kit i made. which goes block tranny body


How often do you guys recalibrate your widebands? What would lead be to want to do so?
