Default What wideband kits are people using?

As above. My Innovate LC-1 controller seems to have given up on me and their customer service seems as good as their products, so time for a change.

What are people currently using, recommendations.

I did fancy a Stack to match my other gauges, but are there better kits out there for the money? If I'm honest, I'm not completely happy with my Stack gauges anyway for what they cost!

AEM kit on mine, has been spot on for about 4 years now. Links into the ecu so can run closed loop fueling via it, AFR's seemed pretty accurate to the readings I got on a power run at MSD.

Dynojet Wider Band Commander (not the wide band 2) .. been using it for years and its spot on and still going strong.

Thanks guys, I'm swaying towards the AEM UEGO, to be honest. Seems pretty reasonably priced, too.

I thought they had gone belly up...their support forum certainly did.
They should have because of their awful customer care and crap parts. Oh well, they made enough money from the r-500 dross.

I'm actually looking to buy a kit today. Anyone using LD Performance's kit? Only reason I'm leaning towards it is the LCD because I don't really want another gauge in the car.

like the look of that. Keeps the oem old school feel to the interior.

Bosch sensor so probably just as good as any other bosch sensor wideband kit in its accuracy.

"Accuracy" can mean many things....and of equal importance is the controller. They almost all use Bosch sensors ( or some generic equivalents ) anyway, that's why the setups are so cheap in the first place. It's just an OEM sensor

I use a Innovate LC-1 and a MTXd. I find the data logging capabilities and the Logworks3 software that comes with them, invaluable for tuning my K-Jet.

So true! its critical that there is no exhaust leakage past the sensor in the exhaust bung. the gauges (analogue or digital) are just voltmeters which take the analogue voltage from the controller (which in turn relies upon the sensor) and report it. on my analogue innovate setup the gauge itself has a 2% voltage error reading. they also say you must 'recalibrate' the sensor/controller frequently. the whole thing looks a little unreliable really. apparently, you can check overall accuracy (at least at stoic) by using a narrow band as well which are very accurate at stoic.
