Goin Portable [QUOTE=stone4779] Stone,
How did you make the LC-1 portable? 12v battery? And what about the logging function of the LM-1? Is there memory built into the LC-1?

Stone,

As for portability, before I got my LM-1, I made a plug that allowed me to connect the LC-1 to the existing O2 sensor connection. This and quick disconnects for the analog output, made install/removal of the LC-1 a 5 minute job.

Would you guys all feel comfortable monitoring only one bank of cylinders? I'm considering running a single wb sensor on the passenger side, running the narrow band hook up to the ecu, and deleting all other O2 sensors. If I delete the cats would the x-pipe be too far away to locate the sensor?

love my innovative.. kinda want to go with lc-1 and sell my lm-1 as its easier for me now. but the thing is if anyone wants to get there car tuned by me...i can do it with a wideband on the street by simply taking it off of my car 
To my mind you don't need anything but a sensor, controller box and than a couple of PnP connectors.....one for EFILive and one for HPTuner. The EFILive/HPTuner software will do the rest.
You don't need to see AFR all the time but you do need to log it with the other important data.
I ordered the PLX on the GP today without Guage. It is probably the closest to a sensor and controller with Analog out at a reasonable cost ($185 shipped).
I did use my Tech Edge at a Dyno Session today and it was way cool to have the logged WB data on my EFILive scan.

I can't validate the added cost though.
In fact, just tuning for the leaner bank means you will never have any problems as both sides will be either = to or over 14.7 and costs less as there is only one sensor.
I really believe you aren't increasing engine performance much compared to the added cost. That is why I don't promote dual WB short of if you want to know if one bank has an issue. I completely see your point though!!!

I voted for LM1. I like the portability of it. With the window mount its very easy to use.
