I wanting to install a wideband with a gauge so I can monitor it all the time. What do you recommend that will be accurate and have a quick response time? Really looking for something that can go in a gauge pod. Thanks guys.

If you've got true duals I'd recommend the Innovate Motorsports DLG-1. It monitors both banks simultaneous, is programmable, and has data outs for logging with their software or with others like EFI Live. If you are running a single exhaust then take a look at their LC-2.

Has anyone read about the new AEM 30-0300 X-Series Digital? Looks pretty promising. They claim it's the fastest on the market. You also have the option of doing a free air calibration.

Nope but Innovate does free air calibration as well.

I knew they did. That was the main complaint I've seen about AEM, was you couldn't. I had a innovate in the past, and had a lot of problems with it.

Well if you've got a sour feeling towards them that's understandable. I've had very good results with my setup. Maybe someone will have some other options for you.

Whatever you use, remember to keep the wideband away from any turbine and high EGT. The instructions should say something like that, but sometimes we see OEM location threads and think "why not take out the narrowband and install the wideband here, right behind the turbine?".

I've been doing re-flashes on the new AEM 30-0300 gauges to work directly through OBDII. So far, it has been working great for people with HPTuners and DashDAQ devices. Looking to test with other devices.

PM me if you have one that you would like to have re-flashed to try the OBDII interface.

I have EFI Live. I'm guessing that it will work since it has 0-5 volt output. Will just need to figure out to to setup EFI Live to work with it. I'm really thinking about trying out the 30-0300.

I had the Innovate LM-1 years ago, eventually had problems with the solder connections coming loose on the board. I was not impressed with their customer service.

So I switched to a NGK AFX which I still use today. Although that model was replaced by NGK with a lower quality unit, Ballenger Motorsports offers a upgraded version of the original AFX, named AFR500, which is what I would buy if I was starting from scratch.

Don't forget the Flashscan V2 accepts digital inputs as well. I use those for faster and more accurate data transfer.

Can it accept the raw CAN data from the 30-0300? Or, will it take the emulated OBDII lambda data from the modified gauges ( PID.24 etc. )?

Swimming pool is getting deep for me but I know who can answer that. Hit up joecar here. He is an EFI Live guru.

I have the V1, so I will need to use the 0-5 volt output.

From AEM :



The results from the "independent testing lab" for response times.

Can you post the user manual pdf for this particular AEM wideband controller/gauge combination...

EFILive V2 can read the AEM controller's serial comms output as long as long as the gauge does not use it (i.e. if the gauge uses analog signal);

if the gauge uses serial comms from the controller, does it repeat it as an output...?

I need to see the manual.
