 +==== YELLOW and BROWN wire - notes ====
 +The YELLOW wire from the LC-1 is defined by default as the "​narrowband"​ simulation output of the LC-1.  Because you're using ECMLink, you can leave this wire disconnected (but isolated from ground with some heatshrink or electrical tape) and simply use ECMLink'​s [[v3narrowbandsim|narrowband simulation]] function instead.
 +
 +The BROWN wire is defined by default to have a mapping of 0V = 7.35 AFR (0.5 lambda) and 5V = 22.39 AFR (1.52 lambda). ​ This will work nicely using ECMLink'​s LC-1 datalogging item.  So run the BROWN wire into your selected ECU input for logging and then configure ECMLink to use this input for the LC-1 log item (ECU Inputs tab) and, optionally, for the narrowband simulation function as well.
 +
 +
 +===== Sensor location =====
 +We generally recommend installing the LC-1's wideband sensor in the front O2 location directly off the turbo. ​ That is, of course, if you plan to run without a narrowband sensor installed in that location. ​ We have been running our sensor in that location for years without issue. ​ We do not believe there are any "​heat"​ concerns what so ever.
 +
 +===== Narrowband sensor =====
 +When running an LC-1 wideband, you can simply enable [[v3narrowbandsim|narrowband simulation]] in ECMLink and use nothing but the LC-1's analog output for both wideband data and narrowband closed-loop operation.
 +
 +However, if you have the option of running both a wideband sensor and a narrowband sensor, considering doing so.  This is probably more common on a 2G where you can run the narrowband sensor to the factory Front O2 pin while logging the wideband sensor on the factory Rear O2 pin, but there are enough inputs on a 1G to do the same thing.
 +
 +The advantage to running a factory narrowband is that you get a good data point for checking up on the LC-1's calibration. ​ The narrowband sensor is **going** to switch around stoichiometric. ​ It's really good at that.  So as long as you're running in closed loop operation using the factory narrowband sensor, you should see an LC-1 logged value of about stoich as well.
 +
 +It's not a big deal either way, though. ​ So don't go out of your way to make it happen. ​ If it's convenient, great, give it a shot.  If it's not, don't worry about it.
