ok, this is probably too good to be true and will not work, but i have to ask since i couldnt find where its been previously asked. ok, i have a DIY-WB without the NTKL1H1 sensor. cant find one used at a good price and really cant fade 200$+ for a new one, so the controller has been sitting for a while. well i came across a post on the DIY-WB forum where a guy is claiming to have used the much cheaper Bosch LSU4 sensor with the DIY-WB controller. he says that he altered the heater circuit with a voltage regulator, to make the heater circuit 9 volts. now, i cant find a detailed data sheet for the NTKL1H1 to compare to the LSU4, so does this sound feasible? the LSU4 data sheet does list the heater supply at 9 volts...what do yall think? to good to be true? at around 50bux for a LSU4, its almost worth a shot.

 

probably could work. if done and set up rite. if its done wrong then i guess ur down 50, or watever u can get it for. or u can just buy mine at my current low price of $150 shipped
just an offer

 

i guess new users dont get PMs? or i just dont know where to retrieve them at. well is that 150$ shipped for the sensor + controller or just the sensor? i already have a controller. if i could get someone else to contribute to the cause for tuning purposes, i would like to have it, but no promises.

 

i'll buy your controller if you can find a sensor. cause i got sensor, yet no controller

 

if u didnt get pm back, yea, 150 for sensor only, i was gonna piece together a wb setup but didnt have the money for the controller. just lemme know if u need it

 

I have an extra DIY Wideband board with all components soldered on if anyone is interested. I bought 2 kits in case I messed sumthin up and they both went together smoothly.

 

lol @ burke. sorry dude, no i had too much fun building it. its the DIY-WB, really pretty easy to do and only cost like ooooo i dunno its been sitting for so long, maybe like 40$ parts and a 10$ radioshack case. wonder what forum i could ask about the LSU4 compatibility on? its prolly not gonna work, but would be a nice alternative if it did.

i may have to take some of these offers up for the NTK if i have no luck. im kinda hit tho, cuz i had to buy some replacement parts for my McIntosh Audio home amp, a bank of transistors went out and costed like 150$ for parts and me to replace em. ouch.

 

Are there online instructions for the DIY-WB? I would like to build one as well.

 

techedge.co.au

its a kit. and the new unit uses the new sensors.

 

there is the original also at http://www.diy-wb.com

but its downfall is the pricey sensor

 

there's a mailing list on diy-wb.com .. ask around on there.. they've been discussing using different sensors.. i haven't kept up on reading so try reading the archives.. good luck!

 

yeah thats where i seen the info about the lsu4 at. i think it was diywb...could have been diyefi, also. thanks for the reply

 

The new 2.0a DIY kit uses the Bosch LSU. Yes, the DIY kit is available now. Contact Sohfast because they might have a used L1H1 sensor in stock.
