I have been reading the archives for hours about the companies that make the Wideband O2's. I cannot make up my mind. It seems that the LM-1 is portable tuning tool that usually isn't mounted permanently that can datalog with the data being viewed on a laptop/PC whereas the PLX is a real time data logger, but how are you supposed to keep track of real time data logging whil eyou are driving? Does it record the info?

Also I have an unused bung on my manifold... its an FMAX kit for an accord.. there is a bung right below the WG flange that I have always been afraid to put a EGT probe for fear it might break off and crash into the turbo. Should I put the EGT probe there regardless or the wideband 02 or replace my narrow band O2 with the wideband??

Also I know the PLX wideband 02 can use my Autometer A/F gauge but can the LM-1 do the same? Thanks in advance.

Easy, if you plan on tuning other people car get the LM1, if you want something mountable for the car get the PLX.

PLX does have datalogging but only on the M-500 model. It uses a wireless connection to send data to a laptop.

Sorry I don't understand your question about your EGT. I know the PLX supports narrowband emulation. And you should mount your wideband sensor 12-14 inches away from mani.

can you datalog the plx 300 from hondata?

Yes

i've got the LM1 and the realtime datalogging is great...not to mention it stores up to 45 minutes of data in the controller for later review on a laptop.

hey guys can you hook the wideband up to a stock ecu WITHOUT the stock narrowband sensor like have the ecu read the wideband signal?

you left out a good wideband, zentronix

Er, I just re-read your question. many widebands have narrowband and wideband output. then you jsut wire the narrowband into the ecu. ecu will still see it as a narrowband signal tho

You hook up the laptop to the ECU with a serial cable or a hacked nokia usb cable. Use any of the free dataloggers that are available and you're set.

I have the LM1, everything seems great but strangely enough I had a few of its screws back out and the unit almost came apart, not a big deal, just strange.

we have a m-500 at the shop and it works great, although we dont use the wireless datalogging, we datalogg off of uberdata and directly from the ecu. the m-300 would be my choice for one mounted in my car all the time.

how does the AEM UEGO wideband compare to all these listed? i'm assuming that it just a gauge that has no datalogging capabilities. but it is a compentant piece for showing if you're running rich/lean right?? just wanna be sure

the AEM UEGO does not have datalogging capabilities. You can get either the gauge style or the single or dual channel that hooks up to you ems. I have the single channel hooked up to my AEM EMS and it great. when you hook of the UEGO to your ems you will had datalogging capabilities.

great wideband plus if comes opitional with an egt

I have the LM1, it works great, and is well priced.

Their 02 sensor cable is nicely packaged to prevent chaffing or other damage.

The ONE problem I did have has to do with the fact that they used surface mount connectors (DOH!) for their analog output cable. This is a bad idea if the cable is under a lot of stress, the connector broke clean off the board. With about 5 minutes and a little solder it was good as new.

Did I mention its huge? I know they could've made it smaller however i'm sure it was a cost thing.

the zeitronix is the BEST bang for the buck. the AEM is probably the worst according to this tihng

i am biased and basing my choices off of the signal from the motec

you sure this works with a plxm300?

the m300 should have a narrowband output like the m500 and if it does, you just hook that up to your O2 wire going into the ecu and solder in a 4pin connector to the ecu board and then use a nokia or serial cable to run to a laptop.
