Need suggestions on a AFR gauge
 
I would like to add an AFR gauge to my car. I already have a LC-1 wide band installed. I am leaning towards the Innovate motor sport XD16, but feel I could invest that $230.00 in something more productive e.g., larger injectors. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'd lean towards the cheapest 20 LED 2" gauge you could find. or $9 LCD panel voltmeter display.

I think WOT can get you the Innovative DB wideband gauge for less than $100.

I was also looking at the DB gauge; I would prefer it over the cheap LED gauges.

here's the same thing for less than half the cost

DB gauge is nice.

I used Harbor Freight $2.99 voltmeter.
Configured LC-1 to output 0.7 volts at afr 7 and 2.2 volts at 22. Works like a charm.
Have to remember to turn it off after running the car.

my AF guage is of the ebay variety the voltage offsets make it prettymuch suck but at least i can use it to see if there is a WB issue.

Thanks for the suggestions. Today I ordered a DB gauge from DIY

I happen to like innovate's G2 and G3 gauges, I figure I am never going to use the gauge on the dash for precise tuning anyway, you need to datalog for that, its just something to let you know that all is good with the fuel system as you are driving.

A DIY 10 led bar is good to, you can set it up so it has one or two unique color leds in the sweet spot.

I am sure to DB gauge will be great, I didn't think the LC-1 could output enough voltage to work with a regular automotive voltmeter.

That wouldnt work (I know from experience dude). You need 0.01 resolution to show A/F correctly. On that gauge, 12.5:1 would be 1.25 volts but it would only show up on that gauge as 01.3

This is just what you're looking for: http://www.vgauges.com/catalog/produ...products_id=45

This one showed up at my door in a couple days for $18 shipped or something
