Since when does extra features for a similar price not add up to a better value?

What kinda price for a minimum Zeitronix WB? Is there a reason to need more than the minimum?

The min. setup with the Zeitronix cost $279, but it logs AFR, TPS, RPM and an user input right out of the box. With additional MAP and EGT sensor , it can also log boost and EGT. Dont get me wrong, I have this setup and I liked it. And before the days of EVOscan it was a great logging system.

But if you just need to get AFR into your EVOscan logs, the the $199 LC-1 is better, as it only logs AFR out the box. You can log everything the Zeitronix can with the LC-1 but you need additional sensors and another thing (lm3 i think), which will cost more then just getting a zeitronix and sensors..

So its like this, If you need a whole system, zeitronix is more bang for the buck. if you just need to get AFR into your EVOScan logs, then the LC-1 is cheaper.

Also, people will argue all day which is better (TTP And Nj come to mind), but I could care less. Theres been tests that said both are the best and the other one sucks. But what really matters is that theres people going fast, very fast with both WBs. So, i dont think one is better, its just about taste and needs.

I'm not running the coolant lines to the TB either... but I live in the Caribbean

I've heard guys in the UK do it with no problems though

In terms of knock resistance, would reducing back pressure help? Like a more free flowing exhaust manifold, ported or larger turbine housing, and then a better turbo elbow?

With that said.. I've heard det occurs on the intake side of a piston from ignition advance, and det occurs on the exhaust of the piston on lean AFR's. Presumably the knock resistance the OP is talking about is in terms of ignition advance.. so maybe exhaust back pressure won't really help?

Ahhh..the older models..I love the 5's and 6's!
Sweet ride you got there..esp if it's the rs model.

I had a Evo 7...have since sold it and now bought myself a damaged one to fix over and mod it to hell
