    Default Which wideband O2?

    I've been searching the forums but can't find anything specific.
    I need to buy a wideband O2 sensor/setup but am unsure of which brand/type to get.
    Can anyone recommend one?
    Thanks

    I bought the LM-1 as I wanted a unit to swap between different cars. If you are only doing the single vehicle you could go for the LC-1. Both are available from members on this forum.

    Default Thanks guys

    That's some of the info I was after.
    Which are applicable to be used on multiple vehicles.
    What are the pro's and con's of each type/brand?

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
    MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
    DUCT TAPE.
    IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

    The LM-1 is my choice for wideband to use when switching between vehicles. Pro's - Easy to move, Easy to setup (3 wires), Inexpensive sensors
    Con's - Display box is kind of large, if the vehicles cigarette lighters don't work your screwed. LOL

    Honestly, the only disadvantage I can see with a LM-1 is the display box. It isn't that large, but not easily hidden.

    I was thinking PLX but not sure.
    I noticed it's supported by EFILive as is the Innovative.
    I know nothing about wideband O2 sensors except that I NEED one.
    Thanks for the help guys.

    I have a PLX-300 w/digital display that I have used in my truck almost every day for over a year with no problems and it always has worked with no calibration hassles. It still has the orginal O2 sensor. It is a small unit and I plug it in to cig lighter outlet so I can also use it on other vehicles for VE tuning. I can recommend it based on my experience with it.

    Don't get slightly bit like I did. I jumped on a sensor a friend of mine showed me on eBay and it is one for a AEM controller (not cheap!). $65 to the door at least. But the connector is wrong for IM LC1/LM1.

    The AEM controller is pretty nice, but I haven't really compared it to the LM1 to see how they stack up.

    Anyone know?
