This may not be the best place to ask, but has anyone used the LC-1's "simulated narrowband" output (Analog 1 I think) to feed the ECU? I have one of these sitting on a shelf on my garage and I would like to install it, but do not want to pull a downpipe to have an additional bung added. Thanks!

Yes, I simulate both primary o2 inputs from both analog outs on my 2.7

Works very well.

oh cool. you do it for both? do you have 2 lc-1's?

Each lc1 has two analog outs, I have a single turbo with one downpipe so I just offset them by .001 volts, feed to both factory inputs and then it allows me to still have fuel trims.

I've been waiting for a bit to chime in here in regards to your setup - Snowtrooper.  Let me ask you this, and it's a bit of a postulate, so I honestly just want your feedback on it.

Do you think that using the factory ecu on a simulated output from the LC-1 derives greater precision of measurement? This effect would be due to the potential increase in Signal-to-Noise ratio of the digital signal.  Is there a way to quantify the question I'm asking?  There might also be algorithms which using spectral filtering or something on the signal. [?]

I have a LC-1 and currently don't use this feature.  I may do this if we agree there should be more precision with simulated versus actual.
Any thoughts are appreciated since I know the diversity of your experience.

I do believe there is a greater level of precision than the stock narrowbands.  Yet we must all assume the a properly functioning narrowband is really really good at finding stoich.  Then again we are told by the sensor manufacture (bosch) that the more modern 5 wire wideband sensors are more accurate amd offer better readings over a wider operating range.

In the end I trust the info from these sensors 100 times more than the narrows, its expensive but if you ran two lc1s in a true dual bank fashion each emulating to the ecu I thing the car will be tuned that much tighter.  I also really like logging my car and having the primary o2 data be legit.

Also I cannot stress enough how much the signal needs to be shielded.  I like to use rca a/v style cables for each feed.  Cut off and stripped back they have the other wire  like a coax cable and if you ground the outer it works great to keep interference out.

Interesting.  So in the case of a single turbo, a single LC-1 input can have 2 separate outputs, and you can offset each output individually?

Great tool, love it worked first time.

Is there a way to log 2 LC-1s, I'm running one in each bank and would really like both in the combined log.

Thanks

Technically it should only require a minor revision.  I'll take a look at it tonight...

Are you using the LC-1's on separate serial ports or do you have the units daisy chained?

Hey mate,

I have them Daisy chained at the moment, but which ever is easier

Thanks

Let me see if I can find my stupid 2.5mm to 2.5mm cable to daisy chain mine.  Do both sensors enumerate in the dropdown list?

Yep both are in the list, interestingly I actually have 4 devices (i.e. 2 duplicates?) but it works without a problem

Hey mate,

Did you get a chance to see how hard it was to add the second LC-1?

Thanks

Actually, that reminds me, I ordered another cable but it hasn't shown up yet.  I've got some vacation coming up so I'll definitely get it working soon.
