Innovate manual

[raz]

Today I was so bored I read the manual for LogWorks, a datalogger software included with my LC-1 lambda sensor. It was all normal up to the last page, which starts this way:

Very often one can see small front-wheel-drive cars on the road with huge wings mounted on the

trunk lid. But there’s no corresponding aerodynamic down-force device in the front. Of course, in

the majority of cases the wing is there for the ‘cool factor’ because many race-cars have wings

(birds do too, but birds also have no penis).

I was totally unprepared and had a good laugh

 

In case anyone wonders, the rest of the page covers how to build a sensor for logging down-force on wings.

What the heck is that doing in a manual for a lambda snesor?! It's good to these people still have a sense of humor.

I wonder if they are alienating a good part of their potential market?

Like wings, I know my desire to optimise my fueling goes well beyond practical.

But maybe some will trade in their wings for bling-o-licious gauges

My XD-1 has been extremely valuable in tuning my home-built autorotor mod for my car. Without it I might well have given up the exercise long ago!

 

I now never see the rich side of low 12's nor the high side of 16........

So, the $99 Innovate gauge might not have been good enough?

If you had an LM-1 you probably could have narrowed that quite a bit more.

But the XD-1/16 looks cool

(just kidding....go with whatever floats your boat. If I had more money I would get a nice gauge, too.)

Now if I could just get the LM-1 to work after two years...The second sensor is on order and it better work darnit!!!!

I never even finished putting mine together. Trade it to you for that other V11 Sport ECU we keep swapping!

I got the XD-1 before the DB or G-series gages were available. As well, the XD-1 allows me to feed/read data from the LMA-3 and TC-4 without peripherals.

 

I have the LM-1 for temporary tuning installations, used with a tail-pipe sniffer.

paypal and the post office are getting rich off of us!

I bought my LM1 second hand from eBay for $200. It arrived with a cable missing, and I learned that if you are too patient with the seller you don't get a chance to leave bad feedback. It then took me a year to get around to buying a new cable $5 +$15shipping. It did not work right, so I waited another year and now the $70 +$10 shipping sensor is on order with the hope that it will fix it. Looking at the Innovate forums the symptoms indicated a bad sensor....I hope it is that simple as I approach the price of a new LM1. According to the Innovate forum the problem could also be my engine...but I doubt it.

It seems to calibrate just fine, so there is hope.

OK, we can assume your penis is intact.

In fact your choices have turned out better than mine and are certainly practical.

I sure would like a $200 XD-16, but compared to the DB or G gauges it is hard for me to justify the expenditure.

The built in LCD panel on the LM-1 is good enough for me, but you certainly can't read it while riding in daylight, so I'll be completely reliant on the logging, accept at idle. So far I hooked up the TPS for logging, but not the RPM. But my A:F was off the chart. I hope the new sensor will fix that.

Have you tried hooking up the TPS and RPM and logged?
