electrical and ignition Wide-Band.com Apsx-D1 Kit Group Buy

[eurotrash]

Hey all, I went with a local company (that I found on Amazon.. ?!) when I was shopping a Wide band controller and display during my motor build.  As an up an coming company, they didn't appear to be a large name in the game, but the kit and the company had some interesting characteristics.

 

1. Price. 

2. A bare display that could be put almost anywhere, as I had three gauges slated for my console already.

3. Parts are sold individually.

4. Email support has been stellar.

5. SERIAL output for data logging or even a MegaSquirt/EFI conversion later..

 

After installing a display into my rearview mirror housing, I bought a second display (20$) to plug into the unused pins on the diagnostic plug!  A simple switch will (eventually) let me choose to use the one under the hood for when I am tuning, and the one in the car for when I am using the butt dyno. 

 

I had fallen in love with the challenge of the mirror installation, and barely even looked at the possibilities of an install into the seat belt/EGR pod on the dash.  But tonight I gave the pod a closer look.  It's a shoe (horn) in.  And will mount nicely with a little handi-work! ..Which makes for a clean custom installation with the wire runs, and installation labor time, as compared to the rearview mirror idea.

 

So.  After communicating with the guys at Wide-Band.com, and especially after the discovery tonight, I think there may be interest enough for a group buy.  They have agreed on a price, if we have 5 or more participants.  Unfortunately, I'm not going to reap the benefits, but I like the kit enough to promote it.

I will get the details on payment, etc. tomorrow.  But for now, let's just start a list of interested parties, copy and paste style.. heck, maybe I am wrong about the idea!

 

cheers!

I'm interested.  Does anyone have experience with this kit and accuracy?  Better or worst than other products?

Ha- I have one of those sitting in a box for the FJ60- haven't tried it yet!

I'm no programmer, nor an electrical engineer, but the processor is only interpreting voltage numbers generated by chemical reactions in the BOSCH sensor.  Kubi may ring in here.  I sent him this link.

I'm in the market, but neither the included display or the accessory analog gage seem to have a rich/lean indicator that changes color, which I think would be helpful when evaluating your tune on the road.  I'm considering the Miller WAR chip for my M20, and it would be even nicer to have auto-tuning or datalogging, but I'm not quite ready to go to a standalone ECU.  Anything thoughts from those who have used one?

Start another thread for questions unrelated to the specific item please.  this is for the group buy interest inquiry.

 

 

Unless you ARE asking about this item..?

Depending on the time frame, I would definitely be interested (sadly, I had went the route of not installing a wideband due to its price, but a tip over $100 and its totally worth it!

the numbers tell you rich/lean.  no need for changing colors.  besides, the definition of rich and lean varies depending on the throttle, load and rpm.  12.5 is perfect at wot and high rpm, but is way too rich for idle or highway cruise.  15 is way too lean for fun driving but perfect for a long highway trip.  what color would show where?  easier to just glance at the digital readout or a needle on a gauge. 

 

my xd-16 afr gauge has big digital numbers in middle and a bunch of colored lights around the perimeter.  i never look at the lights, only the numbers.

this can happen as soon as we have 5.

I've been planning on this myself, so this will inspire me to get it done.  Count me in as well.
