    Bosch have stopped making them. PLX and the likes have released their stuff with 4.9 sensor now...which is a far superior sensor.

    You want to keep using the 4.2? Buy all the spares you can find whilst they are available.

    The ECM AFM1500 supports serial comms...

    ( Howard Tanner @ Redline Motorsports figured out how to connect it, and Paul @ EFILive extended V2 firmware to talk to it )

    Wow, apparently I voted on this back in the day. I use a Techedge as a non-permanent install WB to switch between vehicles, mainly for troubleshooting. It's about to go full time in the Z06 now though. I also have a full time AEM in the truck. I wired both with TAQuickness cables, love them both. I bought the Techedge back in the day because my standalone (SDS) was primitive and lacked datalogging capabilities. A local guy ranted and raved about the Techedge so I gave it a shot. It's pretty badass, can take a lot of external inputs. Of course EFILive's capabilities blow it out of the water, which is why when I needed a full time gauge for the truck I got AEM because it was cheap and had a reputation for not sucking.

    Group buy on the 'ECM AFM1500'?

    I wish the NGK was serial...

    My LC-1 has been reliable, but am having a hard time getting repeatable results.

    So if it is not repeatable then how is it reliable? Just because it turns on does not mean anything. I went through 2 LC-1's and pretty much all their other WB's plus countless new sensors because I was told that was the issue. I have had my AFM1500 since 09, same sensor, still dead on and never so much as one issue.

    Good point. Reliable compared to a lot of people getting error codes. Mine at least fires up and reads data every time.

    Im not kidding about the group buy deal if anyone is interested..

    i tune day in day out moving widebands from car to car and then validating them against other widebands on the dyno and the good old PLX gets the job done. Some of my sensors are 7 years old and going strong.

    now they are using the 4.9 sensor, there will be no reliability issues with snotty noses.

    are you sure it is the LC-1 and not the calibration drifting?

    Also a valid point. Example of what Im sorting out:

    Start logging when driving steady state down a no traffic road when everything is up to operating temp and start hitting cells with a BEN of say .96 CONSISTENTLY in a certain cell. 10 minutes later with the same ECT and IAT in the SAME log and SAME driving conditions, I can hit that cell and it will show 1.03 BEN as the raw data and start averaging the cell up.

    Now, what would you guys think is happening?
