I've found many wideband kits, but not sure what to get.
Not doing anything fancy, just have 30 lb injectors and RRFPR.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

What's your price range and your goal for using it? I've been looking at the Wide Band Commander, as it matches my Auto Meter Sport Comp gauges (apparently, the gauge itself is made by Auto Meter) and has datalogging and multiple input/output capabilities. It ain't cheap, though!

i have the plx digital wideband along with my tec3. i dont really know how it works since we have not done the tuning with it yet. the AEM is all the rage right now but the guys from electromotive were just ripping on them. if it's good enough for electromotive, then its good enough for me, plx it is.

I tuned the engine management on my turbo Nissan with an Innovate Motorsports LM-1 Af meter. Its a really nice unit. The software is good and its nice that it will log up to 45 minutes right on the unit to be downloaded later. Price is very reasonable too, especially since it includes the sensor.

This is the same unit I have. I've been VERY pleased with it. It has an output connection for a gauge, but I just plug it into the handy extra bung on the TCD exhaust, tune, and then remove it.

The price/features ratio was better for that unit than any other one I looked at before I purchased it about a year back, but I don't know if anybody's brought anything more compelling to market since.

Ditto on the Innovate. I use mine a fair amount and would consider myeslf dead without it.

Innovate has a new unit called the LC-1 that is designed for permanent install applications, and it can be ordered with a gauge. It has multiple programmable outputs and datalogging. It can also be ordered without a gauge and then one of the outputs can be programmed to drive any traditional AFR gauge, or you could program it to drive a multimeter. I have the LM-1 and the LC-1, they work very well, and are priced competitively. The LC-1 is being used with a TEC 3r and it was a snap to set up and has worked flawlessly. We were using the LM-1, but it is really more suited for tuning puposes and not so good for permanent installs.
