Rallylad Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hi guys, I have a link G4 ecu in my evo 4? Two questions 1- is there a lot of work turning on and setting up anti-lag and launch control2- I got the ecu mapped, now after 1minute of idling the engine is relatively cold (normal temp) and the exhaust manifold is extremely hot, when driving a rally stage the heat from the turbo down pipe is melting the inter cooler pipe in front of it with heat thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 1. Anti lag is a decent amount of work to get set up and tuned to suit drivers preference. Launch is not so bad.2. Is that with Lag off? If lag is off that would indicate far to retarded timing at idle. If lag is on and active you have ignition retard happening then after a minute of anti lag things will be getting very hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallylad Posted December 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hi Simon, thanks for reply, I fully rebuilt the engine for my first rally I ran the ecu with no antilag to give everything a chance to bed in, so it was melting hoses its antilag off, does that ecu have flatshift?

Simon Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 G4 has a basic gear cut. Not to the level of the G4+ but with the addition of a geartronics or equivalent unit works well for sequential boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallylad Posted December 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Perfect thanks, do you reckon I have a mapping issue so, seams she's running too lean, that's crazy heat is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Baker Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Sounds like you definitely have a mapping issue...Where was it mapped, and was it mapped after the rebuild? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallylad Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 id rather not say, I dot want to wrong anyone, brand new build from a road car to rally car, didn't drive it before getting it mapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Baker Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 In which case, go back and speak to the mapper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallylad Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 don't like confrontation, any how just looking for a bit of advice, Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Baker Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 If you want to fire over your map I'd happily take a look at it for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Kriedeman Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi,you don't need to worry about confrontation.Just ring the guy and voice your concern in a manner that does not indicate laying blame on him.For example just a state you noticed that the engine seems to be excessively hot and it has melted the intercooler pipes do you know what could be happening.Would you mind having a look at it for me please.Or PM some one on here or the LINK tech support tem for help.I can remote log into your ECU check your PCL file and test for you.If it is indeed a tune issue it wont take long to resolve.RegardsDave.
