WBO2 options

[JeepsAndGuns]

FYI, I have read that this doesn't work as well as a real narrowband, likely because the narrowband isn't a linear curve and the wideband is a linear curve. I have never bothered trying it, I just run another O2 bung.

I have the MTX-L in my jeep. I tried for a while, running my pcm with the simulated narrow band output. It would work fine for a few days then I would get a o2 sensor code pop up. I would have to reset the pcm to clear the code and then be fine for a few more days. I eventually went back to a regular heated narrow band.
It could have been the voltage range the MTX-L was putting out was not exactly what my pcm was looking for, but I could not find the exact range I needed it to put out and at what afr to program it. So I just switched back to the NB.
My system is a OBD1, 16197427 system, so I am not sure if obd2 would be different.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll look into that innovative unit! I'm not sure I want to put another bung in but I'll consider that as well.

I always go with another bung. They come with a plug so when done just plug it up. I've tried several times to use the simulated narrow band and all it does is waste my time, yeah it can simulate but it can't do cross counts so that is why the CEL code comes on when the test is run.

Also when you get the WB and hook it to the EFI Live V2 get a Null Modem. With the Null Modem you can disconnect from your V2 and hook up to the Innovate WB controller to configure both the channels and update firmware if need be and do the free air calibration. Believe me it is the way to go over the TAQ cable which always seems to be to short and also seems to have a slightly larger end so it needs to be forced in. It's OK but when you go back to the regular cables now your socket is loose?

The serial hook up to V2 is the most accurate way to get your WB readings into EFI Live. Way better then the AD ports.

Thanks guys. Mark, is that a cable you have to buy extra or an option you select?

My Innovate LC1 came with the cable and all I needed was a Null Modem adapter to hook it up to cable that comes with EFI Live V2. Not sure about the MTX-l ?

This way it's easy to hook up to the V2 and then change to hook up to laptop for programming. There a few threads on it at EFI Live site.

Thanks! Just looked and I liked the look of the lc-2 they make. Price seems reasonable and I think it would be easier to have it mobile with that setup. The gauge one might be an option when I set up the Monte Carlo and would want an extra eye on things with the turbo.

The LC-2 is the way to go for temporary mounting. Way to easy. The tailpipe extension is another time saver but seems to be only very accurate at WOT runs. Can get some air during cruise situations. That is what it is designed for on a dyno. So if you can do all your tuning via NB and only need the WB for the WOT then it's perfect. But still the exhaust shop only charges me $35 to install a separate bung when I need them. I have an LC-1 mounted in my truck and really no need for it anymore and it's a lot of work to remove and re-install.

I'd like to sell/trade my LC-1 for a LC-2...
