M.1b + Zeitronix Zt-2 Package
This package now makes it easy for those looking to add a wideband lambda among other sensors to their vehicle. Take all the feature and benefits the M.1b Performance Computer offers, combine it with adding the necessary sensors and you have a powerful data aquisition system for an extremely economical price. The integration is simple. The package includes the USB dongle that connects the two items, so you can see the additional gauges on your LCD screen. Datalogging is the same and of course these new gauges are customizable.

This easily allows you to add additional sensors, click here for the connection diagram. Add gauges for turbo or supercharger Boost Pressure, Exhaust Gas Temperature, Wide-Band Lambda (Air Fuel Ratio), Intake Air Temperature, Oil Temperature, Fuel Pressure and more. The Zt-2 can also accept a digital input, such as RPM, Vehicle Speed or Wheel Speed.

It eliminates difficult gauge installations since the sensor wires only have to connect to the Zt-2 and then with one cable, connect it to the M.1b Performance Computer. There is no need for mounting standard gauges on your dash and wiring separate gauges.

The M.1b installation is still the same. Simply connect the OBD-II, video and power cables and see new guages on your LCD screen. If you don't have an LCD screen, look in our Products section for some to choose from.

I have heard the sampling rate on the e55 is very slow, so there may be a time lag. Before purchasing hook the car up to an OBDII scanner with the live data feature and see if you are happy with the sampling rate for the data.
