I emailed to ask how fast they update. Would be a great wideband gauge for those of us with programmable outputs, which is most widebands nowadays. I'll let you know the speed once I find out.

I lol'd at the title

It's just a panel voltmeter. I've recommended shit like this from digikey before.

oooo That would look good here on my blue Miata.

Biggest problem is it's almost 3 inches long so it wouldn't fit in a gauge pod with a fabbed up panel. I have a Motec WB and mounted it in holes 2-3 of the 3 gauge radio pod. I used a PVC cap to space it over the 2 holes. I'd rather have one that could fit within a gauge pod.

you sound just like my wife.

I dont mind a ghetto look if it saves me some $. Guy said it updates 3x a second. Do you guys think thats a good enough refresh rate, or should I just go with something purpose built, or something else entirely?

There's nothing really worng with it. I doubt even a cheap one off ebay can really be all that bad...


but here's a source for others: http://www.mpja.com/products.asp?dept=52

good link. thanks :cool:

Well after rummaging through a box of crap, I found a 5v DC powered panel meter.

I hacked apart an unused cigarette lighter cell phone charger to power it and ran some wires through my dash to later rendezvous with the LM-1 output (1v-10:1, 2v-20:1).

I took a propane heater to my pillar pod and got it all melty to make room for the big ass panel meter. The JBWeld should be cured tonite so I'll post some pics then.

The refresh rate might be a bit slow to tune by but will be fine and dandy for casual monitoring.

how difficult is it to hook a narrowband (liek autometer) a/f gauge to an lc-1? my lc-1 is in the mail so i can't really look at it. it's planned for my MS install but that a fw months out so id like to get the wideband in a working now.

I've never done it but it's probably pretty easy assuming the LC-1 has programmable output(s) (i've never used an LC-1 personally).

The problem would be remembering which LED represents which A/F ratio

You can hook up a narrowband gauge to the LC1 and set the LC1's narrowband emulation to be linear so the reading would be extremely accurate.

Gutted a cigarette lighter cell phone charger for the 12v to 5v bits

Tapped into some wiring for 12v during IG key position

JBWeld to the rescue
