def not the only one but everybody else is quiet and tries to look like they are in the know

I'm guessing it's way past the level of sophistication of TwEECer though.

I wonder how soon we will have enough interested ppl to justify EEC forum. (like this one: corral.net EEC Tech forum) That would be geeky

I did some searching yesterday (cause I too was interested in WTF Demon is talking about). Some interesting stuff, admittedly not easy to jump start. Anybody cares to post a link to a decent 101 page (like this one)? Perhaps separate thread and a sticky?

LM-1 is a wideband O2 controller made by Innovate. IMO nothing can touch it on the market!

I built an LM-1 output cable that can do 2 things.

The 1st channel simulates a narrow band O2 sensor (very easy circuit)

This means I could technically run my whole car off of just the wideband. Also the adaptive control would be run by an extremely more accurate sensor.
(I have the rear O2's turned off but MIL's do the same thing)

The 2nd channel feeds the S-AFC a modified voltage signal.

Therefore the input to the S-AFC allows me to have the actual A/F ratio (as in 13.2, 14.7, etc) display in real time on my S-AFC.
The S-AFC is an exceptional digital gauge package.

Also my S-AFC can log it along with it's other inputs (rpm, airflow, etc)


So basically I have a VERY VISIBLE and 100% accurate A/F gauge that can be logged verses other inputs and replayed from my driver's seat without needing a laptop.



The LM-1 Aux input cable is just like it says. An input cable for the LM-1 unit with a built in RPM converter.
The resolution will be about 5 times as good as the one Innovate sells and the response time about 10 fold. It also costs about 1/10 of theirs too. Hence why I am building it myself.

It took some time to digest...

One thing is for sure though. Nobody can say your approach to tuning is anything less than fundamental

I call it Fun.

The wife calls it Mental.


I guess that really does make it range from Fun d mental...

Demon, I wanna see a picture of your dash one of these days. I bet it displays more information at any given moment than my brain can digest. And it's accurate, to boot!
That's cool info, though. Here I just settled on that dinky blinky light A/F Autometer gauge. I always tell people, "It's really not as informative as I had hoped..."

Thread - officially hijacked

It's not sarcasism. Demon is the first to respond to my posts and will explain it to me as many times as it takes for me to understand. You have to be extremely knowledgable and patient to perform all the mods he has done. I know from experience NONE of these mods work right out of the box, for these cars or others. You have to be able to fabricate, redesign and reengineer most of the aftermarket parts to perform better or at least as advertised. Demon, what do you do for a living? Thanks again for all your responses, no sense doing the same job over and over if some knows from expereince.
This is one of the only performance cars I've owned that aftermarket parts, or even parts were available. I had a TR250, TVR and a Lotus 7, to name a few. If you wanted to enhance the performance you had to come up with the idea then make it. and remake it and remake and remake it till it worked. The same with a lot of the parts. I had the Lotus doing 1.1 G's in 1986, with street tires, inboard coilovers like the old F1. I put a 13B rotary in it, over 200 HP. The car tipped the scales at 1250lbs. I had the TVR handling close to that, but could never get the TR250 to handle the way I wanted. I'm sure Demon would have done close to the same things I did, he seems to like high horses and like slideing thru windy roads with control.
