    LC-1 is dead to me! Try the NAW_OEM Wideband Module

    I have had it with Innovate's flakey piece of shit WB controller.

    I ordered one of these NAW_OEM and will be trying it out on the new project. A friend of mine is about to crank his up next week so I'll get to see the test run.
    But apparently this tiny thing has gotten very few complaints and tons of sales.

        the module works perfectly. no issues or even a second thought about it after installing it.

          Gotta see how many of these get sold though...

          The guy who makes these lives not far from me. I bought one of his previous products, the JAW 1.03, last fall. It has been giving me trouble, but apparently a lot of the JAW units had problems. This new NAW unit is getting very few complaints.

          I might get one shortly to replace my flaky JAW.

            I hated my JAW, I am glad to see NAW is doing much better,

            that being said, my lc-1 hasn't failed me yet.

              I take it back. the NAW acquired an overheat problem on one of the caps.

              forget i said anything about this product. I still dont like the LC-1

                I have a JAW 1.04 and it seems to be working well. Actually better than my old LC-1 (that I still have if anybody wants to buy it

                EDIT: Has anyone tried the PLX? I know a few GM guys that started using them after the Innovative stuff would give them problems, and the price is comparable.

                    Why be cheap asses on something so important?

                    Get the AFX or AEM. (AFX seems to be much more responsive then AEM)

                      I built the JAW not because of price, but for the experience and to learn how a wide band controller works. They are rather simple units, and even the cheap equipment has awesome algorithms, but knowing how to diagnose the hardware is the challenge. I would love to know why my LC-1 gave me so many problems.

                        Would this work with a M/S setup in terms of data logging?

                          any wideband controller works with MS, all you need to know is the voltage output curve.
