My Riot has been neglected of late. I have recently sold my house in Christchurch. All of my superfluous paraphernalia is now stored in the workshop. Now we are in the process of moving again. This time 4 doors down the same street! This house has a garage! A rarity in Romsey.
Anyway the Riot. I'm thinking of changing the lambda sensor on my car yet again! Why? The Innovate LC1 is awkward to install and configure, has a very sensitive output and requires configuring and calibration.

My search for an alternative yielded products from TechEdge and DynoJet.


Reading various postings it would seem that both are superior to the Innovate product.
I have used DynoJet kit before and have been impressed so DynoJet it is.



Here are the benefits over the LC1.

Fixed configuration, no programming is required. The 0 - 5V analogue output is always (Volts * 1.6) + 10 = AFR.
Auto calibrating. No manual free-air calibration required.
Faster response.
Better packaging. No external push switch or LED. The sensor to controller cable can be cut to length.
Robust output. No need for an in-line buffer resistor.

With this in place, I should be able to map the low load sites as required for IVA and use adaptive mode for the rest.
