Apparently the petrol heads are using LSU 4.9's instead of 4.2's these days??

Yes most cars that use them are using the 4.9's. The 4.9 are the latest version of the LSU series sensor from Bosch. All the output specifications are unchanged from the LSU 4.2 but the durability is supposed to be better.

your first post you state doesn't matter what product/tuner people are using

Now TTS data would be no good because it records faster than others, haha this a classic Andy taken over your account?

You are reading something into my post that I did not clearly write, you need to reread what I did write! I simply stated you cannot COMPARE TTS data to anything else. YOU need to use the device you are going to use to check against, to compare too. So if you are going to see what a Supertuner data set looks like then use the Supertuner data both times. Trying to compare data that is taken at over double the speed can and does show all kinds of things that get missed by slower taken data. The best example I can give you is to take a piece of paper and make 48 dots on a horizontal plain in a 3" long area. Then make a second line that only has 12 dots in that same distance of 3". Now imagine how many different lines you can draw that connects all the dots on each line together and how different they could be from line to line!

So trying to compare what a TTS data set is going to look like to a PV data set is a complete waste of time, due to how much data the PV is missing!

I understand the LSU 4.9 do not use reference air but use a reference pumping current instead.

Faster and more accurate (but still not in the realm of NB's) due to the cell being half the thickness of the 4.2

The specifications for response time is slightly improved (~20 -25mS quicker) over the 4.2 but still slow next to a NB sensor. The accuracy specifications are the exact same from the 4.2 to the 4.9 Bosch specifications.

Ok here is a question about the specs.. It seems to me that most of the response of a broadband sensor is determined by the time it takes the sampled gas to reach the location where it is sampled.. Narrow band sensors are faster because the transducer that provides the voltage out is right under the protective cover. Ok so.. Does the response of the Broadband sensor increase when the gasses are flowing 400 FPS? Does Bosch spec this in thier testing?

Not quite sure that is how it would work, there are two things there

The sampling delay - combustion gasses reaching the sensor (about 2.5ms at 400fps and sensor about 1ft from the head)

The sensor response - if the amount of O2 in the pipe changes, how quickly does the O2 sensor notice

Blip the throttle, the broadband might harley notice because the change in O2 has shot past the sensor before it responded to any change ...kind of thing


The Bosch specs I found for the sensors don't even mention response time or pressure??

I thinking about the time it takes from when the 02 reaches the the surface of the sensor to the time it reaches the internal chamber inside the sensor where it is sampled.. On narrow band sensor then surface is right under the sensor cover. On a Broadband IIRC the O2 needs to enter a chamber.. I suspect that the physical delay in 02 molecule movement into the chamber inside the sensor is one of the major contributing factor in broadband poorer response time.

So your first statement does not apply but the second is the question I'm asking. Does exhaust gas velocity effect 02 sensor response?

Don't understand the "Blip the throttle" statement..

Bosch specs suck but IIRC broadband so have a change on V out based on pressure in the exhaust system.
