Hi We haven't done one of these engines yet. The Hardware can drive it but we will require triggering information off the engine. This will allow us to write firmware for the trigger decoding allowing the use of factory triggers. The info we need are sensor types for each pickup and the number and location of the teeth through a full engine cycle. I have attached a PDF sample of what we are after.

If the ECU was off a subaru then on these old units that is all the configuration there is to do. Except check the base timing.

Firmware is now available. Download the latest PC link and then run the firmware update. Note PC Link is now very different so allow plenty of time to get familiarized with how it functions.

Hi Was the linkplus originally configured for the Subaru engine? Or did it come off another application?

Hi all Just to let you know the new PC Link is now up on the downloads page.

You are spot on!

I assume the car has had a full tune to check all mixtures and ignition timing are correct? It could be as simple as a tuning issue. The track is most likely meant to be cut as those boards were used in a few different applications back in the day. Tracks were cut to suit the application.

It really comes down to how well the factory system is doing its job. On a totally untouched engine the gains would be small if any. However if intakes, exhaust internals are changed then that is another story.

If the MAP is reading around 100kpa at key on not running and 34 at idle the sensor is performing as it should. Is the miss more RPM or load dependent?

Still connect to the DI's even though the signal is analogue. You can certainly use the V8 maps as a guide but I would suggest copying the settings manually as apposed to putting the map direct into the V5ecu. The knock block can be used to give full closed loop control if desired when used in conjunction with a G4 ecu.

You will have to check all the basic set up. as Kieran mentions above. Getting the Test ECCS sorted and then setting up the base timing is critical.

It varies for country to country as to what car has what pin out. If you set the jumpers to what lets PC link connect then you will have the correct setting.

The Xtreme does have the ability to accept a knock input directly. The catch with the others in the G4 range is they do not have the hardware to take the signal direct. There is a new flash version of PC link in the works

We would need to get information of the triggering and then add this engine to our available trigger options in the G4 firmware. You could then upgrade the G3 to G4 firmware and be good to go. To get the triggering added will take some time.

The offset is the location of the first tooth past the sensor after TDC#1 A point to note is that when using the Cam test function make sure you have 0 through your cam target table. The run time values are the degrees that the teeth are passing the sensor referenced to TDC #1

This is a G1 V1-2wrx plugin. Manual can be found here http://www.linkecu.com/support/documentation/g1-engine-management-documentation/MY96Manual The firmware currently fitted to this unit does not support PC tuning but it can be upgraded to allow this. It can be run with out the MAF sensor. Yes larger injectors can be used.

If you want a really fast response I suggest a phone call or talk to one of our dealers. Email is also often faster response than the forum. To answer you questions. 1a) Most will probably suggest the new G4 range as being much better but will still work with the old units. 2a)It will depend on the tuner. If they have been with us for a long time then they will have all the gear. It will pay to check with whoever you are going to use. 3a)Hand controller is more time consuming and I would suggest PC as a better way to go with this unit. 4a) The manual can be found at this location http://www.linkecu.com/support/documentation/g1-engine-management-documentation/MY99Manual

Hi Daniel. What you are looking for when checking the map sensor is the voltage out put from the unit. If you power it up with 12V and ground connected you should see a voltage of about 1.85V between the ground and the signal wire. This voltage should decrease when vacuum is applied and increase when pressure is applied. The full range goes from 0-5V The GTS plug in is geared to go to 22psi on a 2.5bar sensor. Later software allowed the use of a 3bar sensor giving up to 30psi.

Correct. V14 is the latest we went to on the G1 Linkplus.

The reload will install our default numbers and are a very good starting point for a relatively standard car. Be it an STi or regular WRX. Once you have done a reload be sure to perform a store and reset the TPS span. From here a change in master is all that should be required to make the car idle nicely. Unfortunately no way to bring the wideband output in to the link logging. G4 ecu's can however do this.

There is a good chance it is a G1 for the V1-2 wrx or Legacy/Liberty A photo would confirm.

You have a G1 LinkPlus.

Hi. The ECU will retain its memory for years with any power. I suspect something is not the same with the new engine. First thing to look for is if you are seeing an engine RPM on the hand control when the motor is cranking. Cam timing is another one that is a common catch on Subaru motors. Simon

Sorry no ability for this currently.

Spot on Chris!
