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?

The LC-1 doesn't have any internal logging functionality; you'll need a laptop for that.

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.

So with nothing but a lap top and a LC-1 (no ECU btween them) you can log? Does the LC-1 come with the same software as the LM-1?

Yup, to both questions. LC-1 provides two analog outputs so that you can output the WB ready to a digital display or tuning software on your laptop also.

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?

Im kinda wondering the same thing. I wouldnt tune on one bank though. Either both or attach the WB in the I. I want a Wideband that can read 2 banks. Im not sure if any can though that are a decent price.

...not sure how one would go about tuning individual cylinders, or even banks of cylinders.... Unless you are running on the razor's edge of destruction, tuning the engine as a unit should be acceptable.

I didnt mean tuning individual cylinders or banks but receiving the signal from both banks instead of just one side to tune.

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!!!

That FAST WB can be configured to read both banks. I have seen it for around $400.


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

Get the LM-1 with a gauge. That is PNP.

i thought and by the looks of it the lm1 is like a full out loging and tuneing system. i was thinking of some thing just to monitor it, some thing like the AEM wide band. is there some thign like that?

DynoTune - a sponsor, has the most straight forward, least expensive and simple unit. Look at this link and see if it fits the bill: http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...p?idproduct=67
