i think i am going to buy the plx m-250 cause the price is right and i already have a datalogging setup. the cool thing with innovate though is that it would allow you to do other peoples cars if you didnt install the cable into yours. i have not heard bad things about either though.

 

anyone else?

 

innovate wideband...why? because it is the most accurate out there....its uses patented technology and is as accurate as lab grade equipment...ive personally seen plx widebands be off as much as a full point...i cant speak about any other brand because thats all i have seen...i personally own a innovate lm-1 and can tell you its all its cracked up to be

ps-the innovate lm-1 is the only wideband i have seen that can datalog without a pc...

 

plx is not the most accurate anymore..DYNOJET WIDEBAND COMMANDER!!!

-don't need a laptop
-datalog runs so you can look at it later(without laptop)
-can run off 9v battery
-uses a higher quality Bosch sensor which lasts longer
-better customer support

you do need a laptop, but best features for the money.

how did you see it off a whole point? did you have a innovate and plx right next to each other and they were giving different readings? or was the plx sensor mounted farther downstream? do you have any evidence of this? im not saying you are wrong, its just i like to have evidence that what you say is the case.

 

i have an innovate LM1. its bad ***.

customer had a plx-300 installed in car...it was reading different from the dyno wideband so we hooked up my lm-1 to confirm....the dyno wideband and lm-1 read the same the plx was off by about .8
if you search ht im not the only person who has found this....
