Evening MS experts,

Does anyone know if can connect one of the Bosch wideband sensors direct to MS or do I need something like the LC1 controller as well? I'm hoping not, maybe save a bit of money :D

Cheers, James

Do you know what the output of the sensor is?

LC1 is 0-5v but can be altered if needed, I assume aslong as it's wired right and both MS & MT are configured right it should be fine.

Ant......can you confirm this please :cool:

In short, nope you cant wire the LSU 4 sensor directly, you need the LC1 to condition the signal for MS James.

Bear in mind you're not required to have the WB02 permenantly, its only used for tuning the beastie

I can loan you my LM-1 standalone WB unit for a small fee when the time comes, has the output lead to chat directly to MS too, perfect for datalogs and MLVV

I have an LC1 that i'll probably sell on after I finally find some time to get my car to ant for final mapping if you're interested. fwiw I've got on well with the LC1!
