DIY Wideband Lambda Controller

Another step closer to turbocharging The Dog, or to any destination point actually since it's not really related to forced induction, i just bought a DIY Wideband Lambda Controller of the net. It's the Sigma Lambda Controller, SLC DIY from 14point7.

Features as copied from the web:

  • 0.01 Lambda accuracy
  • 4 digit display
  • Pressing the face plate button cycles between; AFR, EGT, Boost, display
  • Boost reader with optional onboard boost sensor
  • EGT reader with optional EGT probe
  • 0-5v EGT linear output
  • USB connectivity
  • RPM Pickup
  • Seven 0-5v analog inputs
  • Real-time datalogging
  • Programmable Linear Output
  • Programmable Narrowband Output
  • Over voltage protected
  • Reverse voltage protected
  • Fused design
What interests me the most is that it can read Boost and EGT apart from AFRs. Usually AFR readings are only useful on dyno runs and tuning. Once your ECU mapping is set, you don't really need AFRs anymore. With the feature aforementioned, i can still use the box to read Boost. That's why i opted to buy the Boost sensor as well. It also has an output to communicate with my Megasquirt so tuning should be easier. It works with Bosch 17014 Wideband Sensor.

It's on its way to Indonesia and hopefully will arrive by next week so i can start soldering the parts on the weekend.
