That may be what killed mine then Mike.

And I believe Jaycos was running his pretty hot back when his died too.

PS

Do you have the sensors in stock too mike, may as well get that and the bung off you if you do

....me for sensors

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

and im still useing a bosch sensor in the same area fitting exactly the same as all the lc1s mike and im still on the original sensor wihch came with the zietx and guess what sensor it is ..... yes u guessed it a bosch one same as the innovate

alot of the faults come down to the controlers packing up or giving incorrect voltages

Having given the sensor failure a quick search on google, its not whats up with mine, but still worth having a spare

Mike was a little wrong about the temperatures though it would appear.

The sensor can hack 1300 degree gas temps and 900 degree sensor temp


Still worth having the extender anyway though just to be sure, so let me know if you do have one in stock Mike as I still want it.



Mine gave error 04 IIRC, "sensor open" I think it may have been

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

nice and ull find that you will fit a new sensor and it still will read error 4 i bet my left bollock the controler has gone , chip i told you before to buy a ziextronic

Will have to see what graham goode are like for exchanges then I guess if that has happened, hope not as I actually like it as a bit of kit in the first place.

Only seen an hour or two's use so far though, so really poor show if it is fucked already!

Chip,
The Yanks work in FARENHEIT, so convert that to °C and then see how susceptible to heat they are....

Also, the one I have in stock is being purchased by Euan, so I no longer have it as such .

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

ggr are really good they normally deal with it on the day chip so no worries there

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Bloody hell, thats not even 500 degrees sensor temp then!
And only 700 degrees of gas temp, in which case Im sure I have exceeded that fairly often!


Ah, didnt realise it was sold, you likely to have any more in stock in the next few weeks? (wont be using it again till well after the ring trip anyway so no massive rush)

rapidcossie

Got one coming from Mike so thatnks for all your help guys

Good topic and something i really should invest in.

Anyone got any info on knock sensors to show the 1st signs of Det. Euan, you have one installed dont you?

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

i have knock box on mine which i can data log and put stereo head phones on which works brilliant but undecided about the display

rapidcossie

i do have a knock link, it looks shit must i do beleieve it works Rich.

The knock box that Jay has is just a more tunable version

cossie daz

i got autometer sport comp and they seem pretty good 2 me mate

MalteseFalcon

who sells these in the UK?

PAUL V

What about the Dyno Jet ones like stu uses ?

rapidcossie

I will be fitting my Innovate one after work tommorrow so will get some pics up and lets folks see it.

All ready had good reports of Doug etc

I got the heat sink today and the rest is on its way.

the heat sink actually moves the sensor out of the downpipe a bit to help protect it from the heat.

fatboyz

i have the innovate one and have mounted it here

it says on the add that you can data log does anyone know if you can do this with the xd-16 and the lc-1 i havent really looked in to it too much yet
as i have just found that i need to do a head gasket i love cosworths

rapidcossie

cheers fatboyz...did you remove the whole car display and replace it with black plastic?

fatboyz

no matey i had a 52mm gauge pod so cut a 20mm bit off that like a little ring then chopped a bit out of each side of where the door open thingy used to be so it sat in there then stuck it solid with the hot glue gun and made a little in fill bit for the top and bottom ,its not actually solid plastic its the back of a file/folder had the same texture got it so it almost fitted then filled the back up with ... more hot glue but i recon it looks ok i just need a secs moniter to go next to it , hope this helps mate (and i hope it makes sence )

rapidcossie

FAO the guys with the inovate LC1s

where did you get your switced live from and where did you ground it?

do you need to conect the calibration wire too?

rapidcossie

Got my LC-1 and XD-16 from Mike today

fitted it after work with a bit of help from Simon(sas)

Wish an auto electrician could see my wiring...i would get shot

here is some pics of it temporarily fitted

Mike ignore the misses call, it was one of these "Im a gas fitter not a electrician mistakes"

rapidcossie

Was out tonight in the car..

Looks like Im getting high 11's when first on boostropping to 11.2 ish and about 15/16 while crusing off boost.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

16 is a little lean and 11s at the start of boost is to rich imo .Euan have you calibrated it correctly ?

Stu @ M Developments

iTrader: (12)

High 11s around peak torque is fine IMO Jay.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

oh yes stu its where he says 11s when first on boost , unless it climbs like a rat up a drainpipe

rapidcossie

Im taking it to get it checked against AVA's gauge.

Been out in the car tonight again and the figs are wee bit different from what i thought.

still not got definate figs as the thing is too quick to concentrate on the gauges

PAUL V

Hi there Stu, have you still got your Dyno jet one ? and is it still working ok

Stu @ M Developments

iTrader: (12)

It stayed in teh car when i sold it mate. I presume its still ok, havent heard otherwise.

Rick

plug it into your laptop and datalog - waste of time trying to read the gauge while driving. Readings sound spot on.

PAUL V

Thanks For the Reply

I am going to get one next week, I like the idea of the warnings and data loging.

fatboyz

hi there how do you data log from the innovate setup i know it has a record button but it dont seem to do anything

Jim Galbally

i used an LC-1 / XD-1 setup and was very impressed with it.

my 1st LC-1 failed tho, and i got it replaced under warranty.

the analog outputs are VERY sensitive, DO NOT let them anywhere near an earth, you'll blow the DAC

rapidcossie

Im sure i can connect my LC-1 to my ecu and data log it that way

Jim Galbally

you can datalog direct from the LC1 aswell as the ECU

i used top do it on the ECU as it had more data to work with (i had Emerald ECU)

I've just bought an LM1 package - should receive it tomorrow intime to do a bit of testing enroute to the Nurburgring....

....question being what are considered as 'safe' values & the brink of 'dangerous' values at the following times...

i) cruising off boost
ii) coming onto boost
iii) full hammer, full boost

Thanks all!!!

rapidcossie

Lee..i know my car doesnt melt at the settings its at just now so i just look for a change.


dont think you want to hold more than 11.5 high up the revs on full boost.

Lee, look at the TWO sets of AFR figures below.

This was Stu's car (MSD). please note that the figures in the red highlighted area are dangerously
lean readings due to an old fuel pump that was in poor condition.
