proxlamus© Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Do to my lack of reading skills I didnt bother to read Innovates instructions which mentioned after the first 3 months of using a wideband.. re calibrate the sensor to free air. Then every 6 months after that. After a recalibration.. my AFR's are way outta wack.. like 14.2 AFR at 15psi.. how my motor survived I have no idea.. now I have a nice 11.5-12.5 AFR across the band... BTW - is it normal under boost and quickly climbing RPM to have the AFR flucuate a few points?! For example 11.5, 11.2, 11.5, 11.8, 12.2, 11.9, 12.4 all in about 3 seconds or so. I cant seem to get a SOLID number that doesnt bounce at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Thanks for reminding me that it's calibration time again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datman Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hmmmm I had better check mine too....I always figured unless I remove it and use on anaother car it would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine jump between 11.3-12.3, with their average around 11.8 or so. And just recalibrated mine two days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted March 21, 2008 Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2008 BTW - is it normal under boost and quickly climbing RPM to have the AFR flucuate a few points?!

However, I might also argue that its not always the right goal. I always figured unless I remove it and use on anaother car it would be fine. Its an issue of sensor 'age'.

Evan Purple240zt Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I have a zeitronix WB that "self calibrates" My sensor is a year and a half old now, and I am questioning its accuracy. Any thoughts here? I was on the dyno and my laptop said I was good in a/f but the one on the dyno said rich. My burning eyes agreed.

SATAN Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 There is a lot of controversy out there about Innovate and the LM-1. Other companies say "Ours don't need to be calibrated!" But I like to believe that Innovate knows their ♥♥♥♥. They have their own forum with MASSIVE tech support. I will trust Innovate and calibrate my LM-1 every three months. It takes a whole 2 minutes to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
