I can modify the tune all I want. But without being able to data log, thats all but useless....

This is a major set back. And I'm not sure what I'm going to do as yet.....

But I'll come up with something.... May just be the push towards Hondata that I needed....

Yeh mate the innovate probes are not the best and prone to easy failure. Just make sure you replace it with a better unit... maybe a plx o2 probe

Do you have any back-up for your quote please? My innovate is/has worked floorless FYI

Just google mate and you will see countless stories & reviews of the innovate lc-1 being prone to failure usually due to high heat.... I too also have a innovate lc-1

**ThePacman** · 10-04-2012 10:11 PM

The innovate LC1 has a Bosch probe.
They are prone to failure as they were designed to be installed further down the exhaust than most people put them.
Mine is just near the rear K frame, so mine should last just fine...
Another common reason for failure, is having the engine running without the sensor bring powered. So making sure the LC1 on the right circuit is also important....

i was running a inovative lc-1 on my jet ski. Had motec and quite a few other mods. and the fix for the bosch bung failure was to install a heat bung. ( looked like a spacer i guess) and this helped.with heat and also due to the ski running a wet exhaust. it did the trick i had it in the ski for two season without failure

**ThePacman** · 11-04-2012 09:31 PM

Yeah, I'd imagine the place you had it installed in the ski wouldn't get much of an sure flow past out around it... So the "bung" would be a good idea in that application.
(I used to build boats, and love all kind of water craft.)

I doubt I'll need the "bung" in mine. It's fired in a downturn location (right b4 the cat) and it gets plenty of sure flow.
Even after being run, I can assure you, that part of the exhaust will be well below the 800degree operating temp of the sensor.....

Well, a mate and I did our best to give the car a street tune over the weekend, but we never got any real progress happening.
In fact, I went backwards....

I'm so used to coming back after a weekend saying "progress was slower than expected, but I'm happy with what I got done!"

But not this time I'm afraid.

The wide band O2 sensor failed. Probably my fault.
The power connection was dodgy, and apparently one of the worst things you can do is run your motor without power to the sensor.

Also, the ECU refused to data log.

I'm pulling the ECU this week to go over it and check that everything is connected properly.

And I've ordered a new O2 sensor from the states...

This is a setback, I'll get there though.....

**ThePacman** · 13-04-2012 10:08 PM

Well, no prizes for guessing who caved in....!

Today I put down a deposit on a P72 OBD1 ECU with a Hondata S300...

**ThePacman** · 18-04-2012 08:59 PM

New wide band O2 sensor arrived today....

I'll have it in by the weekend....

Not sure if I'll be able to get the S300 by next weekend. But I'm hopefull.
