Innovate LC-1 WB O2 sensor Installed

[CoyoteX]

Well I got a LC-1 sensor to go along with my Megasquirt computer that I still haven't quite got figured out yet. But when I read the instructions with ithe LC-1 I found out that it can simulate a normal narrow band sensor output. The only difference is it does not have to center on 14.5:1 AFR. So everyone that is playing with the voltages of their narrowband O2 trying to get the car to lean out at best could maybe get 14.8:1 reliably out of their oxygen sensor. With this one it could be set to read at any range you want from 7.5:1 to 22:1. So even if you don't plan on swapping your stock computer it could still be a way to lean the mixture out without the computer having a fit and throwing codes

Me I plan on getting that Megasquirt working well one of these days and using the wideband as a proper wideband. But for now the factory computer will think it is trying to keep the air at 14.5 and I really have it set as 15.5 so it would run leaner than normal, except for the fact that the computer in my car is already so far out of tune from the mods I have done the leanest the computer can get it to is 12.1:1. So that explains why if I let the car sit and idle for a long time I get a black spot on the ground behind the car. The wideband cost me 210 bucks so it is a bit expensive but it is pretty much the only option for really knowing what your air fuel ratio really is, a narrowband just doesn't have a useful range.

On a side note I am not going to enter in my last tank because it must have been badly miscalculated It shows as 71mpg and I know it isn't possible due to the brake still dragging so my gaslog is going to go a while longer before another update.
