    The Innovate stuff is horribly inaccurate when compared to a real wideband. The AEM isn't that great either. Both suffer horribly from inconsistent analog out signal clarity and consistency.

    The NGK AFX is the best budget wideband out there.

    Does the NGK AFX have the ability to hook up to HP tuners? Will it show units of Lambda?

    Yes and yes. You can program it in HP Tuners to show AFR or lambda... it is up to you.

    Can the NGK be used by wiring it into the AC pressure signal, for us Std HPTuner's users?

    You can run the AFX into the AC pressure line without any issues. Just use a good power and ground supply.

    NGK AFX here as well. I used a couple others and they sucked for accuracy and consistency in comparison.

    the AFX is great, but the LM1 and LM2 are much more user friendly..

    i use an AFX on my dyno... but for remote tuning I use an LM1, its simple to transfer from car to car.. power hook up is through the cig lighter, can't get any more easier then that.

    Cig lighters introduce horrible inaccuracies into the analog output.

    I use battery clamps on my AFX and clip it direct to the battery to avoid voltage offsets.
