johnboi85 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 i'm using enginuity for tuning. i need a way to monitor a/f ratio. i'm torn between the plx devices sm-afr w/ the analog gauge vs the Lc1 w/ their gauge. what i'm looking for is a way to datalog my afr's independently as enginuity is still working on their beta for datalogging w/ the lc1. i know the lc1 has its own data logging software so i'm leaning more towards that. i'm not sure if the plx wideband has datalogging capabilities. can anyone tell me different? also i know they usually include a serial cable to connect to a pc for datalogging, but what if i dont have a serial port on my computer? would i be able to manage w/ a serial port to usb adapter? thanks jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harman.khinda Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I suggest the Tactrix Cable + LC-1. The adapter works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yes the LC-1 intergrated into Enginuity works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yes the LC-1 intergrated into Enginuity works just fine. We use it on my car and it's fine. you just have to buy a serial to usb converter.

Thats a good deal i may have to consider one of these. 06 TB EVO IX SE stock turbo monster subaru hater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harman.khinda Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 XD-16 is a wideband 02 guage that displays AFR. You'll be able to data log all the normal parameters and AFR at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i pick up this wideband can you help me out? Sure. I use it with vista and have no problem. There is glitch or trick to the program when use the LC-1. First you will need a serial to USB converter. It was like $10 at frys. They when you start the datalog program you have to go to the plug in tab at the top and choose the LC-1 then pick the com port. Next on the side where you pick what you want to log. You have to check the box on the second section for the LC-1. If you have the car on it will show the the current AFR reading. IF you don't do it in that order then it won't log the AFR.

I just got my 20g out of the shop and they put in a TD06 wheel to my 7cm housing and I should be installing it soon. What is the rest of your setup and how do you like? I'm going to run EWG, TGV deletes, APS inlet on my setup as soon as Mr. Bush sends me my "I'm sorry I screwed up" check.

Legend Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 First you will need a serial to USB converter. I know everyone says this, but it's not entirely true. If your laptop has a serial port (like my old Dell) you don't need a converter. My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
