This is only for the G4+ or also older G4's?

This is what I have tested 8 years ago using a Link G3, 17Hz is high temp (Max) 18-19 Hz is 3/4 high 20-23 Hz = middle = target 23-30 Hz steps to minimum temp. This is what another person has tested,

Looks like there is one normal 5 volt signal and the other signal receives 12 volt and is puls modulated from the pedal to the ECU. Description says 8% modulation at closed throttle and 50%-90% at WOT. Some pedal models use a shorter stroke and won't reach 90%.

Browsing through Volvo wiring diagrams for e-throttle pedal signal descriptions for readily available pedals from S60-V70-S80-XC90 models ~1999-2009 and also Ford era S40/V50/C30/C70 models 2004-2013 I see these pedals basically only use one potentio meter? The signals are, 1. 12 Volt 2. Sig + (U top = 12 V t = 4 ms) 3. Ground 4. Sig ground 5. Sig 0.4 -4 Volt 6. 5 Volt I guess these pedals aren't useable?

Let ask the same question again after little over 7 years.. This thread How about the newer models ECU's like the Fury?

Do I understand correctly that the G4+ Xtreme just has become at least NZ$300,- more expensive because the knock function has become a payed option?

Did this ever happen?

First of all you Link people could remove this post but I'm doing this for you. Thing is. Link is offering these great standalone ECU's but the commercial part is running a bit behind. One of my last, and later removed, posts on this forum was because of that. I have been using Linkplus G2 and G3 ECU's for some time now and I can only say the Link ECU's are great. Also purchased a Link G4 Xtreme and hope it will be even better. Then there's the other side of Link namely Vi-Pec. I don't know how these two are tied in and how 'discussable' the brand name on this forum is but I guess we can say those ECU's are also great. The one thing where this brand does better is in the support department. Ray does a lot for the brand. A thing I'm missing abit on this forum. Often it takes time before Link people jump in and offer support. Many times we see end users helping each other out which by itself is a great thing but I think many users would like to see a bit more commitment from the Link people. My removed post was about incomplete information stated as being misleading information. In some countries this can be a big deal. I know Link didn't do anything on purpose and the changes to the ECU were probably made with a bigger future plan in mind but the fact remained. The post was about the Link G4 Xtreme v1, the silver housing version. This ECU was advertised as having E-Throttle capability but suddenly there was a Red anodized housing version, best called the v2, which omitted this capability. At the time no information could be found on the Link site. I ordered the G4 through a NZ reseller/tuner and although I received the best service this E-Throttle 'issue' only came up in a very late stage of the ordering process. I don't hold the reseller responsible. Basically I also do not hold Link responsible but I do want to vent what has been bothering me for some time namely that Link is running a bit behind in this area. I don't know which business model Link wants to pursue. More or less local AU and NZ or world wide? Using a reseller network or also centralized NZ sales? Over exposing and presenting products better than they really are isn't a good thing. The thing I like about Link is that they present their products in a very down to earth way, even a bit shy in admitting they offer a great product. I'm not asking to change this attitude but I do want to ask to please keep the information up to date. I have noticed that NZ has the highest concentration of Link resellers and tuners per square centimeter. World wide basically has non. Information is hard to find and we have to rely on the information as published on the Link website. The latest and greatest offerings arrive late on our side of the globe while the World Wide Web only takes a couple of milliseconds. Reason for this rant is that today one part of the 'bigger future plan' has arrived, The Link E-Throttle Module option for Link G4 Xtreme v2 (Red). But I guess you guys knew this already.

Race Technology that is and the interface is for their Dash2 dashboard

Is there? Rate Technology finally is offering an interface to connect to a G4. Problem is there is no suitable connector with it since they do not understand why a connector that says CAN is RS232.. Ther used to be a shop on the Link site. Then it was gone. Not so long ago it was back, now it is gone again? Which cable do I need?

Simon, 7/16/09 I send you a mail with an attempt providing the info you need. Never received a reply. It appeared to me Link doesn't care. The sensors are reluctor type and need low lever trigger arming threshold. The information was pulled from an older type 2001 'RN' Volvo engine but the sensor data didn't change. The RS engine is identical to the Volvo 'RNC' low pressure turbo engine's as used in the C30/S40/V50/C70 'T5' and the new 2008+ V70 '2.5T'. This is the same engine as used the the Focus 'ST225' or 'XR5' in New Zealand. Functionality is also the same as the 'RN' engines used in the Volvo 2004+ S60R and V70R and the S60 AWD 2.5T with the dual VVT setup. I have used the Linkplus G3 on a Volvo 5 cylinder turbo engine although without VVT and COP. Ran like a charm so G4 should be more than capable. That is if Link keeps up with these things. Other option could be to provide the Toyota Sensor and trigger data so the trigger wheels on the Volvo engine can be changed.

Is it possible on Linkplus G3?

Well, there are still problems but the biggest issue is the crappy way how all is explained in the manual. The offset needs to be changed but the way it runs now things don't add up. At least not when I understand how things are explained in the manual. Still need to verify with a timing light so I can't say to much about it yet. Added to that what appeared to be an easy engine turns out to be not so easy. This Linkplus G3 was also used in a former project running a Volvo 5 cylinder with a supercharger at first and a GT30 turbo later on and it worked like a dream although running from a distributer, did do sequential injection. I do not understand why the supposed to be easier 4 cylinder NA is giving me such a hard time. While ranting anyway, I was considering buying and using a Link G4 Xtreme for this car mainly because the Xtreme is capable of doing E-Throttle. Have also been looking at Vi-Pec V88 to be honest. The things that kept me from doing so, As it appears the support of Link has become less over the last couple of months, last year. Ordering from the site isn't possible anymore, no prices are mentioned anywhere and it appears all has to be done through dealers. The closest dealer for me is a Vi-Pec distributer.. Next there a dealer who appears to rip the package content and sell all items which used to be in one box with the G3 separately. Loom separate, MAP sensor separate. All added up it is becoming a costly experience. Can't say the Link company has developed in a good way the last year or so. Looking at the activity on this forum appears to confirm that thought.

Assuming everything is set right from a wiring point of view check the distance of the sensor to the trigger wheel. Should be minimal, about 1 mm. If you are confident that the polarity of the sensors is correct then lower the values of the dreaded arming voltages and set the filter to level 1 or 2. Arming voltages near 0.5 volt at 0 RPM, 1 volt at 1000 RPM, 1.5 volt at 2000 RPM. You might even set them a bit lower than that. You have some more info about the trigger setup? Which sensors used, tooth count and such?

Forget the question, figured it out.
