Post subject:  LM2 Innovate air flow meter

I was thinkig about getting me an air flow meter so i can tune my Twin Su set up properly.

the LM2 has data logging.

Does any one have one of these and is it easy to use.

I don't have one of those but I do have an AEM wide band. I put the gauge in a jiffy box from Jaycar and made a tail pipe exhaust sniffer to weld the bung into. Well worth the money if you do get one. I think drmini has a Innovate wideband - I'm sure he will chime in.

It's an air/fuel ratio gauge rather than an air flow meter.

Air flow meters measure the volume of air going into the intake system

Air/fuel gauges measure the mixture in the exhaust system

I've got a basic unisync to balance my twin SU's.

I have used the Innovate LM-1, I borrowed GR's. It works fine. LM-2 is much the same but with data logging.
I have since built two Innovate MTX-L ones, I made them portable in a Jaycar jiffy box.
The tailpipe bracket I copied from the LM-1.
Since the pic was taken I have added a 12V cable option with a cig lighter plug, so I can run it in modern cars.
[edit] The MTX-L also has outputs for data logging.

Balancing twins is one thing, getting the A/F right is another...

I had an Innovate LC-1 and have now upgraded to a MTX-L. Both worked well, were easy to use, and can be used to help select a needle and dashpot oil that is correct for your setup.
For datalogging I used my phone to video the display mounted on the dash.
This came in handy when my exhaust clamp unscrewed itself whilst driving at 80kph. The exhaust clamp fell off and I was able to track where it fell off by looking at the video. Then it only took about half an hour to find it on the side of the road.

I have a LM2 and use it regularly for tuning bith my own and customers cars.
I find it really good and very reliable.
I bought the kit with the hard case and extras including the suction mount and tend to use most of them.
Probably have had it 4 years now. Had to replace the sensor once but that was my fault, it didn't like getting very very wet with cold water when it was hot....

I am wanting to sort out the fuel mixture on my twin 1.5 su carbs.

Can you also log rpm with the data logger by just connecting to the coil.

There is an inductive clamp that came with mine that clips onto a plug lead, much the same as a timing light. This plugs into the unit and you can then log rpm and fuel mixture.
On mine the info is stored on an sd card which you then plug into the laptop.
Most of the time I just use it with the o2 sensor only and take it for a drive, figure out what's going on and change needle, spring and oil to get it spot on.

Thanks. You comments have been very useful. I think I will just buy the lm2 basic kit and the inductive pick up.
