It should go in the ypipe, where both pipes come together, and you would need to use the sensor that comes with the gauge, as the factory gauges are 0-1volt narrow-band sensors, and i believe wideband's are 0-5v sensors, if you hook it up to the stock sensors, it will just go from one extreme to the other constantly, wont actually give you a good reading
Do you have a link or pics of exactly of what you have
this is the one i have, but with a black non digital gauge....the software (laptop needed) will log A/F, rpm and i believe 2 other 0-5v sensors.
to be honest...the innovate lc-1 is suppose to be the best. IMO playback is cool, but i didnt see anywhere for actual logging...so i honestly dont think it will work well for tuning
The LC1 is the most affordable, I thought we needed more like the LM1 or LM2?
I agree except I don't have any experience with the LC-1, but about the part of needing the abillity to datalog to a laptop. The playback feature is pretty much worthless on the gauge if you don't know what rpm you are at. If you are just looking for a gauge to monitor A/F while driving, the Autometer will be fine, but if you have any need to tune via datalogging, I don't think the Autometer will work very well at it. I have this setup http://www.zeitronix.com/order/order.htm with the black face round gauge, and it does not look out of place compared to me Autometer Cobalt boost gauge, but you will need a laptop to datalog. However, you would need one anyway to send datalogs to your tuner for adjustments. The Zeitronix has alot of inputs too. I have A/F reading, RPM signal, TPS signal, and have my MAP wired to one of the 0-5V sources for logging. Hemifever told me all of those should be good for him to tune my truck, and are pretty much needed to get a good tune.
Your PCM doesn't even know you have a wideband installed.
What do you mean?? You aren't going to replace one of your stock sensors with the wideband, you are going to put another O2 bung in your exhaust and the only thing the wideband sensor will be hooked to is your wideband gauge.
I'm curious about running wires on this. Do you guys keep them in the truck or just add in when needed? Through the firewall? I know the bung can be plugged, but it might make sense just to make this semi permanent. I'm thinking I can make the lm2 and sct a permanent home in the center console.
Some wideband setups have the ability to convert its reading to a narrowband signal so that you can replace your stock O2 with a wideband O2 if it has the ability to do this like mine does.
I keep mine in all the time with the gauge in a two gauge pillar pod. Nice to be able to monitor it in real time all the time, that way if you start having problems, it's a quick look at the gauge instead of having to climb under the truck install the sensor and route the wires just to see what's going on. I also have an OBD2 scanning program on my laptop that I can data log with. Well, I can data log everything but my wideband for right now. I have the AEM UEGO wideband. It has an output for data logging, but my software I use doesn't accept external inputs.
