Yes, you can simulate your NBo2 sensor. In fact, the LM-1 comes configured with Analog output #1 set up for this IIRC. Take a look at the configuration screenshot I've posted at: http://lagunamiata.home.att.net/LM-1/lm-1analog1.jpg You should be able to set up a slope between 2 points that will match what your ECU expects to see. In the case of a stock ECU, I'm guessing you would just want to make sure that the output V at stoich was correct although there may be an optimum "rich" and "lean" voltage as well. Since I'm able to program an EGO response curve into my ECU, I've just used "rich" and "lean" points of 10:1 and 22.05:1. http://lagunamiata.home.att.net/LM-1/egocal.jpg (the TEC2 internally multiplies the V by 5, that's why the V numbers are different in this screenshot) Regards, Jon

EMS on a rex? Closed loop fuel control is via the front O2 which is wider than 1v. The rear O2 is 1v and only for monitoring cat efficiency it plays no role in engine management.
Many have said that they have not been able condition the signal from any other source to duplicate the signal the ECU uses for closed loop fuel control. Do you know of a way? |

My belief is that the ECU is reading voltage and another electrical measure (I don't know resistance or something) raw and doing the conversion to AFR internally. The sensor is quasi wide band in that it has signals like a wide band that need to be converted but doesn't have the accuracy range of a true wide band (I think because of the pressure from being pre-turbo. The front sensor is not a linear type like the rear narrow band so the ECU would not understand a linear signal at a 1v range or 5v range. Hence no aftermarket sensors can drive the close loop fuel control since the ECU also does not understand true wide band.
This is my understanding (which is not free from fault). Last edited by turboICE; 08-17-2003 at 06:14 PM. |

In closed loop (<60% TPS) - the WRX controls fuel fine off of its front sensor and is alread based on AFR. In open loop the WRX runs fuel based on layering of load maps, it does not target an AFR since it can't even tell what the AFR is below about 11.24-12.00 and most of the fuel maps are set at levels that will usually leave you close to 10.0:1.
I assume you are talking about continuous AFR based closed loop fuel control. Even with the proper sensors the stock ECU is not set up for this - you would need a replacement ECU like Autronic to provide continuous closed loop fuel control. This WBO2 converter would be the right unit to do that with. I am not aware of any piggy back solutions that would take over fuel or even currently accept an aftermarket AFR signal. Both WBO2 sensors that are available recommend against putting them pre-turbo (pressure issues). I don't know if this converter can adjust for a pre-turbo location. This kit would work well in a cat delete pipe or towards the bottom of the DP if someone had the third cat. |

Klaus should read jon.in.ct.home.att.net/SAE970843.PDF to understand the WRX's current A/F sensor or jon.in.ct.home.att.net/SAE2002-01-0474.PDF to understand how the new sensor will be used with 2005 MY Subarus.

Wow good stuff thanks for the doc links. I knew it probably wasn't resistance - I will try to remember current is what is being converted. Also it is really helpful to have a better grasp on why we are so limited on getting a good reading on rich conditions. Thanx Jon wish I had more of that type of information.

Honestly I do not see any benefit to replicating the current closed-loop fuel control during low throttle on the stock ECU. Everything is functioning as intended - if the stock ECU could run closed-loop fuel control during high throttle that would be something to talk about. Even if the low throttle closed loop logic could be extended via a hack I don't think the space exists on the stock ECU.
There are aftermarket stand-alones that will run continuous closed-loop fuel control at all throttle positions and this unit already has the output that those would use. If a piggy back ever comes out with this ability it too would likely use a linear 5v signal rather than an amp based AFR signal. Just my .02 |

Guess what came via UPS today?
I am VERY impressed. A company with a new product, that delivers BEFORE the said date and packaging was neat and professional like they had been doing this a long time. I like it. Well that's as far as I got....googling over it. I am going to configure a analog output for my Link so I can get crackin at this asap. Happy tuning...... -Jim (2.4 is running strong.....now I can lean 'er out and crank up da' boost) |

Which Bosch LSU sensor does the kit come with the VW one or another one?

We currently have the 10 people needed to reach the $324 shipped price. I will be closing the GB on Aug. 30. You are welcome to join at any time until then.
You can just send me an email at tpb9 at cdc.gov. I've never used the PM function and I don't know how to save messages. Tim |

It looks like I should have the cash to get one this weekend. Is there another step up from the 10 buyer milestone?

Tim, should I be calling the Innovative to leave them my payment info or should I wait untill the GB is closed?
Thanks, Alex... |

amelnikov:I told Cort that we would give him all the info once the GB ends. I'll send him a list of names and then you will send him your payment info. This way, he can keep all of our info together. If you send it in now, he won't know that you are in the GB and might not remember to give you the discount price. Your unit won't ship until Cort receives all the payments anyways.
8Complex: I think the 10+ level is the best they can do in terms of pricing. Do you want me to add you to the list? Tim |

Awesome. I'll be gone for the next 4 days, so if you don't receive a reply, that's why. I hope you can swing it.
Like I told my buddies: I figure I'd rather spend a few hundred and some time installing it rather than blowing an engine and spending a lot more money and time fixing it I've done that once and it's not going to happen again if I can help it. Tim |

LM1 Sensor Location
Hi Y'all,
Thank's all the people on this thread for all the interrest in the LM-1. Before all of you in the group buy will ask, the most asked question (which has not made it onto our web-site yet) is: Where should I mount the sensor? Answer: Depends on your application. The coolest spot is the best. Experience so far has shown that right before the cat is typically the coolest. The sensor should be mounted at a 9-10 o'clock or 2-3 o'clock position. The Bosch wideband is sensitive to its housing temperature. Specially Turbo applications with wide pipes retain a lot of heat in the exhaust system. This is because wide pipes have a high volume to surface ratio which slows down the cooling of the exhaust gases by the pipe surface. The same is true for coated exhaust systems. This makes the sensor housing hotter through heat conduction by the bung. By mounting the sensor at an angle under the car allows the under-car airstream to cool the sensor housing. Of course for those with extremely hot exhaust systems (like blown or turbo'ed rotaries) a possible remedy is an exhaust bypass pipe of 3/4" or 1" diameter in which the sensor is mounted. Regards, Klaus |

Both the NTK and Bosch sensors use internal heaters to get to 900 degrees C, right? I would think that you'd want a spot in the exhaust stream that won't go over 900C at it's hottest, but I can't see the reason for choosing the coolest spot. Seems like that would be further downstream that necessary. |

I'd like to add my experince with the LM1, as I'm a new owner and had an issue along with other people who already are using them.
I had a problem right away, first trial drive with the sensor, and it took me taking Klaus and misterblu's valuble advice and move the sensor farther down stream . I have a turbo inline six and with the TEC2, my reg. o2 4 wire was mounted aprox 10" down from the turbo, and I soon found out this is not how you want it with the use of the LM1/bosch. I continued to get a sensor error after a short few min of driving ( not even under boost yet ) until I moved the sensor to where I now have it @ aprox 36" down. I drove it hard today doing auto tunes, and I haven't had one prob. ..... Everything is aok now, And I love the meter. Time to get on to the serious accurate AFR tuning |
