I'm looking at getting a PLX wideband kit. I'm looking at the M300 which comes with the Bosch sensor for $320....or the M200 which comes with the NTK sensor for $480. What i want to know is if there is a huge difference in performance in these sensors and if it is better to get the NTK one. Or if they both do the same thing and i'll never notice a difference between the two. Thanks for any help or replies.

Bosch LSU4/LSU4.2 Sensor Info:

This sensor is more commercially available than the NTK and is used in production cars such as, Porche, Audi, VW, Subaru, Cadillac, and Volvo. The Bosch LSU 4.2 sensor is marked with the numbers 0 258 007 057/058 (sold by PLX Devices Inc.).

NTK L1H1/L2H2:

The L1H1 sensor was originally used by Honda in their 92-95 Honda Civic 3 Door, 1.5 VTEC OEM Part# (36531-P07-003). The L2H2 sensor is NTK's new sensor revision, higher quality, more rugged design and is 100% compatible with the L1H1. These two sensors are fully compatible with the M-200 controller.

 

Spoolin,
from personal experience with both, I have found little to no difference. As a matter of fact, I sold my techedge unit with NTK for the plx bosch unit.

Get the bosch unit and save the money. If this is for Hondata or AEM, it works flawlessly. enjoy and tune away.

 

Thanks ladysman...i appreciate the reply

 

I used the Bosch LSU4 off my aem wb and works great so far

Anytime. The money I gained by selling the TE and getting the PLX went to my new hard drive for the Xbox.

 

Talked to a few shops...people.....and PLX direct.


Bosch LSU 4.2 is the way to go...

thanks for your help everyone.

 

what about using the Bosch LSU4 on a honda for OEM replacement? like the VX Hatch?

 

The main difference that i've seen is that the NTK sensor seems to last a lot longer.

 

for the difference in price you could buy a few extra Bosch sensors

 

yep the ntk last a very long time.


i use a plx now. my techedge display is junked.

ive been through probably 4 sensors and tuned over 150 cars with this plx unit
