JAW DIY wideband controller option?
http://www.14point7.com/JAW/JAW.htm
Check it out. $40 for a wideband controller. Add wire and a sensor and you have a wideband with the same functionality of an LC1. I don't have one nor do i know anyone that does. Not endorsing the product just thought it might be a new option for people to save the extra $75 that the LC1 would cost over the cost of a bosch sensor, this controller and some wire. That is assuming the bosch sensor is around $50 which i think it is from a few places. |
I might check into this. I have an LC-1 on my red Miata and would like to run WB on my blue Miata. Since I only use the WB now and then (once per year?) I was going to just pull my sensor and buy a partial kit from Innovate. This looks like a better (cheaper) solution.
|
Ohh I can build it myself. I am starting to like these DIY soldering projects. I might be down for it, but it depends on how much school work I can get done in the next few days.
|
wish it had a cover of some-sorts.
|
Judging by the size relative to the penny it is small enough to fit in a $2.50 project box from radioshack.
|
then as long as you can really program the outputs....looks like you'd save close to $80-100
basing that off the LC-1 at $180 shipped. |
My only issue with DIY wideband stuff is the fact that if its off... you won't really know. At least you can have some sort of faith in produced systems.
|
I'm very tempted about this. The guy is local to me here... from the info on the web site. It definately seemed like there was some CDN content. <G>
I'm going to shoot him an e-mail and see what's up with this..... Dave, |
www.wbo2.com hello!
great products and they sell you the enclosure and cable and sensor in some cases. |
So am I wrong or is everything on wbo2.com more expensive than just buying an LC1?
This DIY kit with sensor is less than $100, then you could to the $8 LCD display and have a sub $110 WB. |
This looks slick, if I didn't already own a LC1 I would definitely buy this.
|
wow. Looks interesting.
i really should learn how to solder and work on electronics boards. I was taking a class in HS but I never finished because I transfered to the "magnet" school in my district and they were pretty much just academic classes |
Why is it that no one else is worried about DIY units being accurate?

You can check vs. a dyno before tuning |

You can check vs. a dyno before tuning But yay for saving some bucks! |
You're serious.....it is only interpreting voltages. It doesn't take a cray super computer to do this.
