Mines just arrived and will be fitted tomorrow, so I can post some pics if you like. A bit pricey after postage though!

on s14net there is a guy "rongineer" making up a special airfilter box with large pipe to replace the AFM.


i havent seen it myself, but you might be able to get some pictures/info from him.

The innovative wbo2 sensor does not have rpm logging,is this needed with the Alpha N setup.

you dont really need the WBO to do ANY logging. The AN will log all you need to know. TPS, RPM, AFR, LMOUT, etc.

did you see the pictures I posted in the other AN thread? that was from an AN log file.

The Alpha-N has an input where you feed the INNOVATE WBO signal in.
Dead easy to do.

I have just installed one last weekend in Sunny's car. Good piece of kit. But read the instructions BEFORE you connect everything. There is an order of how to connect everything at first time use.
If you hook it up with the MAXX you can use power and ground from the MAXX's X3 plug. Make sure you use the correct grounds (chassis and signal).
Where are you going to mount the sensor?
There will be a new Software release of the MAXX Alpha-n supporting the INNOVATE WBO's
Another thing you might want to do is to set the sensitivity of the INNOVATE display a little lower (in the INNOVATE software). Otherwise the number will change very fast.

here is how the WBOs are connected to the AN:

john.gmstech.de/docs/an-te.pdf

its all pretty simple.  you can evaluate logs to aide
off line tuning of your map.

then you just need to learn how to tune it on the street :)
this is the quickest way to do it.

I use a combination of left foot braking and throttle to reach
all the desired load points. Works perfect and you dont
kill brakes. Ask Kevin if his brakes are still ok,
I helped him with his on the backroads
in the Eifel on one of the Ring trips.

If interested I wrote a rather long desription of how I do it on S14.net
search for "tuning guide to AN" or something like that.

it is not hard at all you just need to overcome the fear of
messing something up :)

This post brought back great memories of a very interesting experience of John driving and tuning my car on the twisty roads.

The brakes were fine afterwards.

Cheers
