How to switch LC1 narrow band output to wideband signal

[Raeban]

I ran an LC1 just downstream of the first bend on the downpipe with no issues for 3 years (I do have a heat shield on the sensor). I know the installation instructions say only one wire to one device, but my application has three devices that need the signal so that wasn't an option. My LC1 never flaked out until about 6 months ago with the issue being my fault IMO and I replaced it with an LC2. The LC2 works but I will go to the AEM or PLX next time as there are just too many people having too many issues with the innovate products.

Close to the turbo? I thought widebands shouldn't be closer than 24" from the turbo? I hear heat hotter than like 1500 or so kills sensors. I know somethin's killin my Innovates lol. The first one from 3 years ago lasted about 400 miles. This brand new one started popping errors within the first 50 miles lol. I'm close to the turbo and running rich, the two things that are supposed to kill sensors.

i run mine here where the narrowband is in the hole as a plug LOL

Here is mine. I never run leaded fuel and although I have swapped the sensor once in a troubleshooting effort the sensor wasn't the issue.

That's where mine is, with the heat sink from Innovate. What ended up being your trouble with it? I thought the LC2 was the newest, hottest thing out there?

I tried that thinggie too. No soap. I put the O2 farther down the pipe. It's about where the end of the engine block is, facing up at an angle as per the AFx directions.

What was your problem. Why did you try out a heat sink?

 

[Pronto]

It would flake out and not read the O2 right. Sometimes it would work for a few minutes but mostly it just gave error signals. Put the grounds in different places, wrapped the controller in insulation, etc, etc. It just would not work right for me.

 

[Turbo6Smackdown]

Me too lol. Tried a different ground, and wrapped the cable in heat shield lol. The next sensor worked a shorter amount of time lol. I'm leaning towards the AEM but it's not calibrate-able. Are you worried about your calibration drifting?

Broken housing on the lambda controller is why I took the LC1 out. The LC2 in my case flashes 10.4 three to four times during its warm-up phase just before it begins reading AFR's. Not sure if this is common or not, but my LC1 didn't do this. While my LC2 appears to be working just fine even with the flashy thing I think the other brands get consistently better reviews.

Roger that. Will toss this thing. And Scooby. How do you get away with such rich mixtures? I'm spewing black carbon all over my garage, and fouling everything up. Getting rich knock too. My car can't run this rich. I'm DESTROYING my fuel too. I'm getting like 8 miles to the gallon lol.

I said nothing of the tune on my car. 6.90 to 7.30...is the ET my car runs in the 1/8th...depending on the class I race in.

Oh I see. I'm not sure what that means for the eighth mile
