    Default Looking to get Wideband

    What are most people's opinions of the WB solutions out there?

    Good?
    Bad?
    Ugly?
    What to look for?
    What to avoid?
    Cost?

    Thanks!

    I have heard recently about some accuracy issues with the LC1/LM1, but how does one really know how accurate one is?

    Everybody will probably give you an opinion that will mirrow their current choices.

    Innovate is popular. With EFILive's V2 I really like the serial connection. You can easily program in stoich.

    I went about 20k on my last O2 sensor. The new one reads the same as the old one..so it held up pretty good.

    So, instead of sounding too much like a commercial..with a serial connection it does not get any better..For $300-400 I am sure you are getting a pretty accurate reading. If I had a shop, I might put a whole lot more money into it.

    Bottom line..I can not imagine tuning without it..

    Good luck..

    I doubt there is much difference in accuracy between the toy WBO2's that use the Bosch LSU-4.2
    The people that claim brand x is better than brand y don't offer any proof.


    Ease of use, proprietary software, reliability, free air calibration, serial connection, Bosch or NGK sensors, price ect. these are things to consider.
