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?

 

Save money
You can check vs. a dyno before tuning

 

Ah, you assume that the WB on the dyno is accurate too. One of our local dynos here I wouldn't trust any number coming off of it.

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.

 

yeah, there was an article in GRM about this this month. i would rather be certain of my AFR, and not have a nagging suspicion that 12:1 is 11 or 13. It's only 50 or 60 bucks more.

 

I use the Gibson just in case.

 

Most of us are having fits trying to get a LC1 to work much less a home made WB02 comeon guys we aren't all solder junky's here give us a breack wiring the stuff in was bad enough.

 

Yeah takes me weeks to hook up 12v and gnd.
How's the car doing Richy? You get those sweet mounts yet?
