Is O2 sensor needed with Alpha N

Mines just arrived and will be fitted tomorrow, so I can post some pics if you like. A bit pricey after postage though!

The innovative wbo2 sensor does not have rpm logging,is this needed with the Alpha N setup.

you dont really need the WBO to do ANY logging. The AN will log all you need to know. TPS, RPM, AFR, LMOUT, etc.

did you see the pictures I posted in the other AN thread? that was from an AN log file.

i did boss. thanks for that.

Now I see Uwe, thanks, looks like the innovative unit wil cover everything then.

here is how the WBOs are connected to the AN:

its all pretty simple.  you can evaluate logs to aide
off line tuning of your map.

then you just need to learn how to tune it on the street :)
this is the quickest way to do it.

I use a combination of left foot braking and throttle to reach
all the desired load points. Works perfect and you dont
kill brakes. Ask Kevin if his brakes are still ok,
I helped him with his on the backroads
in the Eifel on one of the Ring trips.

If interested I wrote a rather long desription of how I do it on S14.net
search for "tuning guide to AN" or something like that.

it is not hard at all you just need to overcome the fear of
messing something up :)

I think I'm going to have to get one of these, as I could really do with it. AS long as it easy enough to link up with the Maxx.

Didn't they change the Maxx loom recently? I've had mine for a good 18 months now. Will II still be able to link the Innovate WB02 to the Maxx harness?

a quick reminder of what a Innovate looks like.

John,

Yes I am sure that there is only 3 pins on my X3 plug. The Maxx will still show the signal?
I'm on the 2.16V software. I tried to use the 2.20V software but it keep crashing. I'm sure that it had an added Lambda icon on the fuel map page.?

My cars runs open loop ( both blue and black conected?) As far as I know Bexleys write the same info to all parts of the chip. So if I disconnect the black ones that should bring the Motronic O2 control back on. But how will this work unless the Innovate connects into the engine harness for the Motronic to read the WB signal?

How many of you run with the O2 control on be it either the Maxx or Motronic one?
I never used either until I thought that something was out on the mapping side. I still can't work out why one exhuast pipe was a different colour ( one a rusty brown the other sooty black) to the other one.
I'll see how it is when I get it back.

yes, but the display shows you all the information you need. The LED is for use without a diplay. Read the manual?
