You can also go withthe PLX, but it stays in the car and has to be hard wired.

Wouldn't it be less of a hassle to have the WB always hooked up? Keeps from having to constantly get under the car.

Back to the main thread, I'll be going with a PLX wideband, but its in upper of 350 big ones. A WB is worth every penny. I'm already sick of trying to tune on my narrowband

I am using the LC-1 and plan on leaving it in the car until I get this car running perfert- I guess that means for a long time...

The LC-1 cost $195 and seems to work fine.

One vote for the LC1 -- I just finished a couple quick tunes with my car using just the LC-1 Now that Logworks 2.0 is available (in beta at least), I don't think you can beat the price (under $200, and you can now log data ) No more need for HPtuners/EFIlive/ or a guage to be able to read it -- you can just look/log directly on your computer.

Hi

LogWorks 2.0 is now released. This allows you to datalog realtime from the LC-1.
New firmware for the LMA-3 is now in beta. This allows you to daisy-chain LC-1's and LMA-3's for up to 32 channels of realtime datalogging. This includes multi-channel AFR (1 LC-1 per channel), acceleration, speed, side-force, EGT, RPM, MAP, and anything else you can think of.

Regards

Quick question, how do you use Logworks to log RPM, IAT, MAP, ect. I guess what I'm asking is where does Logworks get those inputs from? OBD-II?

Thanks,
Kevin

There is an extra box into which you have to route the various inputs like RPM and MAP, etc...
