I've found this one, I like what the page says, but anyone ever used/dealt with them before?

or does anyone have a better suggestion?

THe only wideband that I will ever suggest is the PLX M-300 Wideband (or M500 for wireless)

It's normally priced around 300-330 bucks *www.streetrays.com* and is extremly easy to wire in!

Has a digital display and can also be used in place of the stock narrowband at the same time (IE: You can have it in place of your factory o2, get the wideband readout, and ahve it converted to narrowband for your ECU)

I have it, 5 of my friends have it, and an entire Porsche shop in my town rely on it...

^^ dead link. So fix it so I can go look at this deal =P

mjjstang · 04-23-2005, 11:22 AM

I was also looking at that zeitronix. I believe skatanic28, (sp?) has one, the plx though is nice too.

Take the '*' off of the end. All it takes is a mouse click and the delete key

skatanic28 · 04-23-2005, 02:41 PM

yep, i have the zt-2 w/ lcd. they are supposed to be coming out with a gauge as well for it, so thatll make it even better IMO.
what do you want it for? tuning or monitoring as well?

it does all those things codyace mentioned, as well as datalogs a bunch of useful stuff.

wootwoot · 04-23-2005, 04:16 PM

So thatttts why it diddnt work. That is a bad ass way alternative to the AEM, I like it a lot.

Tuning and monitoring, if the zt-2 is coming with a gauge it'll be even better for monitoring, tuning is ok w/out a gauge. But the gauge is good b/c its easier to visualize if something bad is happening. The ZT was the one i had suggested at the begaining of the thread, b/c it seems like it has a lot of features for a good price!

speeddreamz · 04-23-2005, 05:20 PM

fudge that , retract my previous statement, i looked over it again, its 399 for the lcd screen and the kit, 279 w/out I thought i was seeing the 279 w/ the lcd.

So... I think im gonna go with an LM-1 or the one shown on street rays.

skatanic28 · 04-23-2005, 05:41 PM

i was looking at the lm-1 and plx as well. the lm-1 is a pretty bulky unit and i wanted something i could easily mount to monitor a/f's. you also have to pay extra for the ignition harness. the plx is nice, i liked the simple display, but ive done a lot of a/f tuning and cant imagine not having datalogging to do so.

i still think the zt-2 is the best bang for your buck, which is why i got it. but im sure you'll be happy with whatever you choose, they are all pretty solid.

dizoita · 04-23-2005, 10:43 PM

I use a LM-1 meter from Innovate for tuning. But they have come out with a LC-1 controller with sensor it is $150 it has no display, but programable outputs x2 so you can connect it to a narrow band gauge and wala you will see the AF's. Or buy a cheap DMM. I will be using one (LC-1) hard wired to the standalone.

90RS13 · 04-24-2005, 02:06 AM

I use innovative also, for data logging.

There is a link to how I got the package from www.streetrays.com

Excuse the night shot, but it's inside my altima

There is a total driver shot of the gauges

BillKlineVT · 04-24-2005, 10:28 AM

I have the ZT-2 and it's better than the LM-1 in a few ways... it's not the size of a brick (zt-2 is like an inch thick credit card size), it datalogs RPM, which the LM1 doesnt do out of the box - you have to buy another 100 dollar module to do it. I don't have the display because I don't really need it... I just hook it up to my laptop and datalog if I want to see my AFR.... very helpful when you can see what your AFR is at a given RPM when tuning I must say...

I have the Zietronix wideband it has a few hiccups in the datalogging but great wideband, very small, and cheap replacement o2 sensors, and samples very well. I have tuned probably like 5 cars on this wideband mostly turbo honda with uberdata very good for the money. But would def. go with a PLX next time.

90RS13 · 04-26-2005, 11:40 PM

I tune eproms. I like the LM-1 because it has great accuracy. Also it has plenty of inputs for data logging.

codyace · 04-27-2005, 11:28 AM

Jim Wolf Tech...granted it doesn't need a wideband, but i'm a 'safety first' kinda guy!!!
