I have had no success getting the RPM converter set up. I go through the procedure and it's like it doesn't take the settings and when I go to the logworks software it reports "No realtime data". The documentation for this product is pretty weak. I'm taking the signal from the negative post on the leading coil. Engine is a 13BT with Haltech E6X. Can anyone offer some advice?

try the trailing coil? the actual real tach wire is the yellow and blue on the trailing coil

That might be worth a shot. The thing that troubles me is that I can get through the setup procedure and everything looks hunky dory, but if I restart the LM Cofig ap it is as if I did nothing with all the defaults selected.

If that thing sux let us know. I was about to get one this week.



It looks promising.

I've had the LM-1 for a while, and it's worked great. It's just that I wanted the ability to log AFR vs. RPM, etc. The RPM converter is supposed to make that possible, but I can't get the flippin' thing to work.

i have the lm-1 and the lm-3 data logger , never could get the lm-3 to work ever and never could get the logworks to operate. as far as the lm-1 wide band goes i found that thing to be a pain in the ass more then a help, damn thing would always read incorrect and that was even after i recalibrated it many many times, i would do one boost pass and it would over heat and shut down, then i would have to recalibraite it again . im sellin both the lm-1 and the lm-3 for 250 if someone wants to try and get it to work.

It's funny, I've heard of people getting the overheat error message, but I've never had one.

Okay. I'm up and running! Turns out that the LM-1 unit required a firmware upgrade before it could communicate with the new logworks software. I guess that's the price you pay when you buy an item (the LM-1) and then wait two years to buy an accessory for it (the RPM converter).



Let me say this about the LM-1: This device has enabled me (a complete ECU noob) to install a Haltech on my tired old T2 motor and get it running (rather well) without blowing it up. Granted, I do think that I have yet to realize the full horsepower potential of my setup, but that is largely due to my conservative nature, and the lack of access to a dyno and the time to putz around with it.



My only criticism of the Innovate products is that the documentation is a little thin. The stuff works great!

yeah, ive got a gtus/t2 swap running real nice with the lm1, the map we started with was decent, but it took like 2-3 hours to get it running real nice.

Anybody using it with a a g-tech or something to track performance?
