NXRIDE Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I’m setting up my NS13+ in my S14 and wondering what type of wideband Lambda controller to run. I want a gauge. Can I run a gauge from either the Link CAN Lambda controller or one of the outputs from the ECU? or is it best to run something like a Innovate or AEM gauge with a analog input into the Link?

Brad Burnett Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I always stay away from innovate. Just have had too many issues with them in the past. The AEM x series stuff works nice and will link up with the ecu via CAN quite easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil brown Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 been running a lc1 innovate for last 3 years with no issues at all, not that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsab Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Agree with Neil, 7 years and nowt a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Ballenger AFR500v2 with NTK sensor. Little bit more expensive then the Innovate and AEM but you have a choice of several sensors and you can have it configured to read Lambda or AFR. I had an innovate with 4.2 sensor for 6yrs and no issues other than replacing a sensor and a guy had his Haltech gear on my car and said my Innovate was reading rich which I couldn't afford so eventually changed to the Ballenger.

Richard Hill Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 You can't run a gauge from the CAN Lambda. I have driven gauges from a PWM AUX out before but it would require careful calibration of the duty cycle and frequency vs displayed value (AFR/Lambda) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilsp Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Aem x-series.. gauge, has both analog and can output, works perfect. had an older aem for 12 years before new now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I agree with most others here, stay away from Innovate, some get lucky but the majority dont. 2 main issues with them; no analog ground so you will usually have to mess around with calibration to fudge the offset, often short sensor life or sensitivity to EGT due them controlling the sensor pump and heater completely different than it was designed to be. AEM X-Series is a good option if you want a built-in gauge. 10 hours ago, Richard Hill said: You can't run a gauge from the CAN Lambda. You can use a CAN bus gauge although these do add a significant cost. But they can do other cool stuff such as display multiple parameters, alarms, etc. https://perfecttuning.net/en/gauge/68-universal-gauge-linkg4.html http://www.btigauges.com/link--vipec.html https://gaugeart.com/product/gaugeart-can-gauge/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
