Interesting results here http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...tout/index.php

Tordne will be pleased his PLX has the lowest accuracy rating. While us guys with cheap LC-1's can take heart on our nice readings.
Innovate also recently upgraded all their units to prevent voltage related failures.

The LC1 would be more accurate , they get returned to the factory for warranty repair every 4 weeks

I have a heap of PLX , a LC1 a motec and an autronic meter and I would say the PLX is the most consistant of the cheaper brands , at stoich all mine are out by 0.1 -0.2 AFR but everywhere else they are spot on to the autronic and motec meters.

When on the dyno I have a plx in the car 90% of the time and the autronic on the dyno and they always match.

So i guess people should do their own tests and references to make sure they know if the WB is out and by how much.

cheers

PLX = POS
regarding the lc1 :
i think most people ground out the analog outs and thats what kills them.
they`re instructions aren`t the best either.

Anyone else think the placement is foolish on this?

I think there would be alot of turbulence created, throwing some sensor off.

Maybe not tho...any ideas?

The thing to have done is to rotate the position of all sensors by 1, and repeat the test;
then repeat this rotation/test N times, where N is the number of sensors;
then compare the results for consistency.

In a "scientifically" conducted test, you're supposed to take a number of readings,
then swap positions and take more readings, and then plot the average with error bars... etc.

holy thread ressurection but now I am getting back into looking to custom tune the ls3 I'm not installing the 2 lc-1s I have. Both were so unreliable it was untrue. When they worked they were very very accurate. But after the recal issues, the fact it would error 8 randomly I eventually settled with my tune and left it (checked on dyno).

LC-1 was as said accurate but too unreliable to reuse! Now looking at AEM for the next round of tuning.
