I am getting close to finishing up my Vortec TPI 350 install in my 86 Caprice Landau. I want to set it up so I can install a Wideband O2 and was wondering if someone could recommend one? I am looking at the Inovate LC-2 set up and was wondering what kit should I buy? I will be using TunerPro and the EBL to tune. Also where is the best place to place to weld in bung for the sensor? I have a set of Edelbrock TES headers on the car running back to a 3 inch Monte Carlo SS style exhaust. Inovate said to not install it in the collector. I could put it into the Y pipe that connects to the Cat convertor if that is satisfactory.
Thanks

 

Im running the AEM 30-4110 and its tied into my ECM so I get real time date through TunerPro. Works perfect for me. I have the bung installed in the Ypipe where the cat would normally go. I think you need to enable wideband in the ECM and set up TunerPro so that it will read correctly.

 

I have always put mine in the downpipes or Ys. Never had an issue.

 

I am running innovative digital gauges and I would highly recommend them, seem to be very accurate and I like that I can adjust the display parameters by hooking it up to my computer, and they can be calibrated, seem to be well built as well. I have them mounted in my A-pillar and I chose them for the yellow color of the digits because I didn't want blinding red in my eyes and I am glad I chose them the yellow isn't as distracting while driving. I mounted mine after the Y-pipe right where the cat used to be and clocked it at an upward angle per directions, I heard of people overheating the O2 sensor if they had them too close to collectors so I didn't want that to be an issue.

 

I stopped and talked to a friend of mine who builds HotRods and he recommended the Inovate Wideband set ups also. I just need to decide which one I want. The gauge would be handy but since I will be tuning with the EBL and Tunerpro I do not know if it will be needed. I would rather not have any gauges hanging under the dash in this car. I possibly could mount a rectangular gauge in the dash in a spot above the radio if \thad one that would not look out of place. Have to some further research. Thanks for the reply's.

 

There are cheap LC2 kits that come with the gauge...

 

The Innovate kit I am considering is the 3795DB. It comes with the LC-2 controller a gauge and Bosch LSU-4.9 sensor. This would give me the option of connecting it to The EBL and TunerPro and also a dash gauge if desired. I have found this kit as low as $159.00 on the auction site just do not to know if I want to chance buying there. What do you guys think of this kit?

 

I bought a similar kit 2 kits ago. Worked great.
Paid $179 from a reputable place. Don't remember where, only the price.

 

Well I just pulled the trigger on the Innovate 3795DB kit. Found it on Ebay for $183.95 with free two day shipping. Since I have an Amazon Prime Credit card I will get a 5% cashback bonus also. Once I get into tuning this thing I am sure I will have some questions.
