OK...As the title suggests and could be LC-1, LM-1, UEGO etc....

Open to new or used examples and fave is LC-1 being the simplest/cheapest kit although LM-1 is nice too.

If used must be in excellent condition, no rounded off edges on the HEX of the sensor please and should have all cables and software.

Any BP dealers doing a deal for BP members??

Cheers,

Stop being such a cheap skate and buy an LC1 -

:P

Every penny counts right now!! If nobody on BP comes up with one i'll fork out whatever is required!!

Bump!!

Don't any BP dealers have an LC-1 for sale??

Back end of last year Zak fitted me an LC-1 for about that money. He also had the older XD1 gauge in stock, much the same as the XD16 but lower cost. Initially I went without the gauge, but soon realised it was much better to have it as an immediate, constant check, without having to have the laptop connected all the time. Made a lot of sense when I had initial calibration issues, which gave some strange ecu behaviour via the simulated narrowband output.

Cost of LC-1 isn't much more than an OE narrowband; you can't quibble at that!

Am i right in saying the LC-1 could be used as a permanent replacement for No1 O2 Sensor, plugged into the loom where the original O2 sensor went so the OEM ECU reads off that using Narrowband simulation, or is it best to keep the standard sensors and add it in as an extra dedicated wideband.

Does using Narrowband simulation stop you reading wideband data or can you read both at the same time.

You can indeed read both at the same time, as for wiring, ask Zak! Don't think it plugs directly into the loom. I went for the LC-1 as a replacement for my (broken) standard lambda sensor and it works fine. Lifespan may well be less than that of a standard sensor, not sure yet.

They also need recalibrating every 6 weeks or so as they gradually go out of tune.

Duncan, You know my setup.

Do you think i'm better for now just adding in the LC-1 as a standalone purely for wideband reading/tuning reasons to log from or do you rate them as a proper upgrade replacement for OEM narrowband.

There is also no.2 OEM O2 sensor to think about as well so it's probably not worth changing just one O2 sensor or is it, but replacing both OEM's for LC-1's so they read and are calibrated exactly the same.

Is that sensible or just get rid of Sensor No.2 and disable associated truoble codes and use only the one LC-1 in the headers?? Is that doable or is it going to cock up ECU/AFR calibrations bigtime when it's trying to find No.2 O2 sensor??

Standalone for tuning/checking of map.

leave the original sensors alone :thumb:
