Need to buy an Wideband 02 Monitor...need some input!
Alright, first off, my Profec E-01 and Ignition Harness are on there way right now and I need to get myself a wideband 02 sensor that is capable of datalogging.
I was originally in on the Zeitronix GB but could not go through with it, so that is still an option (~$400).
Other one I'm looking at is the Innovate Motorsports LM-1 w/ RPM Convertor (~$420), but I want one that can be mounted in the car permantly unlike that huge controller they use, so not sure what I would do there.
Also there is the PLX Devices M-500 which is wireless and can datalog which I like but it is (~$500), which kinda sucks, but it is an amazing system (watch the video of the M-400/M-500 here http://www.plxdevices.com/M-Series_l...roductinfo.htm )
Any other suggestions welcome, but I really want a data logging system.
Lastly, is there anyway to data log from the E-manage to a laptop and have the E-01 connected. As far as I can see, there is only one USB output on the E-manage unit so that makes it do you can either use the support tool to a laptop or use the E-01 but not both. It would be great if there was a way I could do both.

LM-1 is out of date, look at their new setup, just a gauge and sensor (don't mind the foam packing):

I'm personally going with this one, pm gq_626 he's got a good price. Supposedly it's selling well so thee may be a short lead time.

I like the Innovate stage alone gauge. This is by far the nicest stand-alone gauge I have seen. The problem is that they are backorder for 2-4 weeks.
I am going to be selling them for $349 shipped. PM me for more details, or if you'd like to pre-order one. (card wont charge until they ship).
Thanks for the help xxx!
Oh, and no, you cant data log to the e-01 and the greddy support tool simultaneously.

I have my HKS Knock Amp display mounted in the sunglass holder and am considering moving it. It Is very hard to read it and drive at the same time, especially at WOT. Do you have this problem?

Its not that bad. When Im giving it a good go it is hard to take my eyes off the road and tach. But I think I would have that problem no matter what. The best part about the Zeitronix is it has a button on the side and when Im done pushing the car I can push the button and it tells me everything, boost,A/F,EGT so if I miss it on my run I can go back and check it out.

I totally stand behind the PLX products as I have seen how well they work. The size of the controller is so small compare to other wb on the market therefore you can virtually mount that controller anywhere and the wireless datalogging is too cool to pass up.

It's all about Innovate!
I am an early tester for them, and have been sponsored by them from the beginning.... Their stuff is truly superb. With the new serial protocol version 2, you can daisy chain devices in any configuration that you like, gauges, LC-1, Auxboxes, Auxbox-SD's (with an SD card slot for datalogging), and even connect the entire chain to a computer, which outputs to a screen (like I have it setup) for 6 (and even more in the very near future with the introduction of LogWorks 2.0) virtual gauges. The Xd-1 physical gauges are fully ptogrammable. They are preconfigured to show AFR, but, if you have other sensors connected via an RPM converter or the AuxBox, you can connect a laptop to it and fully configure the digital scale ranges, LED colors, numerical display range, warnings..., etc..etc..
You get much more than a gauge, it is a full (and fully modular/upgradeable) tuning system that you are getting...

Hi,
Innovative Wide band - Great unit, we use this unit on our dyno actually. Very accurate, fast response, very intuitive. Downside: It's huge:
AEM units - Not too much experience with their WB02's but there seems to be various power issues with the ones I have seen (the A/F being a bit off based on electrical load of the vehicle)
PLX - Great units, small and inexpensive. Haven't tried the new 500, but a downside to the older ones were they were not as feature rich. But I still prefer them due to the compact size, accuracy, durability, and price.
Cheers,
Gary

Also the main reason I didn't go with the PLX Devices R-500 is the price, almost $600 while the Innovate LC-1 w/ Guage is right at $400. I knew I was still getting a quality product at around $200 less.
Appreciate all the help guys, keep this thread going though, there isn't enough info on this forum that I could find about specific WB02 monitors....

I am also a dealer of the PLC devices. I agree they are great quality, and the feature rich R-500 is pretty impressive.
PLC also offers some very inexpensive wideband units, that are at the $299 pricepoint....which are good for those on a tighter budget, and someone that doesnt immediately need a gauge style wideband.
But for a stand-alone gauge, I think the Innovate Standalone Gauge can't be beat!

Will this thing be able to read boost if you get an electric sensor? If it read boost too I would buy it.
