Built in failsafe....on a lambda gauge... Tell us more

[techieboy]

I'd like to know how it works too. Seems to be AEM's thing. "Failsafe" on lots of their products that claims to save an engine by presumably intercepting and fecking with sensor signals to cut fuel or ignition advance or whatever. Can see how it might conceivably do something in conjunction with an aftermarket ecu but struggle to see how it works with an OEM ecu without being a total bodge.

Yeah i think it's more benificial if your on a different ecu as I believe our oem ecu would go into "safe mode" if something wasn't right? http://www.aemelectr...lsafe-gauge-84/

Any how back to me, me, me Other bits of spec are; 2.5l Throttle bodies DTA 40 ECU Crank trigger ignition So this wideband good choice or not?

Any old wideband setup will be fine. Personally I wouldn't touch an innovative, but many do and like them etc.

Any particular reason why not?

looking at the LC-1 kit too, can't really map fuel with existing narrowband

As said on page1, unless they have changed it, the Innovative might not fully conform to the Bosch spec for controlling the lambda sensor.... this could lead to premature failures but lots of people are running fine with them. I'm just a picky bastard

I've been offered a new LC 1 for £130, but it appears to have been superseded by:

lmao at the marketing tos about it being 100% digital and the 'only' one to do that. I was using digital lambda kit in 2004/05 and im sure it wasnt new then.

 

They will all do the job, depends what you want to spend and how much you fall for sh*t marketing such as the only digital system or failsafes or a happy ending at 14.7:1 and so on.
