Gee, I really LUV it when somebody has actually been following what's
been going on over time. Thanks JK for paying attention. :)
[as a reminder for newcomers, two files on the DIY FTP site contain
archives of past diy list traffic:
ftp://ftp.diy-efi.org/incoming/DIY_EFIArchives.zip
ftp://ftp.diy-efi.org/incoming/diy_efi.gz
The first one covers up to Jan '00, and the next one goes on from
there to mid-June '00. If you look around the above site, you'll find
similar archives for the other diy lists as well, notably GMECM &
EFI332. HTH]

There is some info available from NTK on their own inhouse sensors,
and *some* of that does apply to the Honda/NTK sensor we're talking
about. But with a slight tweak of the above, I think JK's sense might
be, "there isn't much available info, either circuitry or specs, on
how to easily make use of these sensors".

This is interesting info; I wish yous guys with the SpeedPro's would
post more about their behavior/performance and anything interesting
like the above. Maybe you & Jeff could start a dialog on what you've
found so far in using the SEFI8LO; I'll bet you'd find LOTS of people
interested in the traffic. Hint hint. E.G., I'd sure like to hear just
how big the AFR swings can get if you don't limit; the period of the
oscillation would be interesting as well.
BTW, is there a SpeedPro list or forum setup yet, where their use is
discussed by owners?
