[Why do you not upgrade G4+ anymore]

Hi There,

I have inserted a link below, it is for the Link DBW upgrade for the G4+ ECU advertised by Car Mods Australia.

The ECU I have is the Link G4+ Subaru V7-9

LINK DBW UPGRADE

[Why do you not upgrade G4+ anymore]

Hi 

I called car mods Australia today to enquire about purchasing the below.

I was then told that they don't do this anymore as they have been directed by Link that they don't do this anymore, basically because Link want people to buy the Link G4X.

I asked the employee, I understand that BUT!!!

• Link sells this E-throttle - ECU Tuning Tools - Link Engine Management (linkecu.com) which does exactly the same thing but externally. So I am finding it really difficult to understand why I couldn't purchase the Link ECU upgrade. 
• Why do you not offer the below anymore?.                                                                                                                                                                          I prefer the cleaner look of not having an external add on and purchasing a new ECU is not on the cards for me. 

[How to tell if ECU is locked]

I am finally picking up my car tomorrow from the mechanic after 1year 10months. When talking to him he mentioned locking ECUs I asked him not to lock mine I don’t want it locked. I own the ECU I paid for the tune therefor own it too.

My question is how do I tell if my ECU has been locked???

[Downloading a tune from G4+]

Thanks very much.

 

[Downloading a tune from G4+]

Hi All,

Sorry for this very noob question.

Pretty much anyone on here could answer this for me.

How do I download a tune from my ECU (G4+) so I can save it to my laptop.

Thanks for the help in advance.

[CAN LAMBDA O2 sensor placement]

Will the can lambda work with the Link G4 model or only the G4+.

Cheers

[CAN LAMBDA O2 sensor placement]

Hi

I was hoping someone could help me out with a suitable location for the O2 sensor placement for my Can Lambda.

I have a 2004 STI with a rotated turbo kit I understand the instructions say

"To avoid excessive heat the sensor should be mounted at least 1 meter from the engine exhaust port."

BUT

Is there an optimal distance from the back of the turbo to put the sensor?

 

Cheers,

Does it even matter what it is for?  If you are removing the ecu just chop the wire and leave it there.

Hmm you do have a very good point there.

I suppose its not something the standard ECU uses.

The help file says there is, for AN Volt 6 only?

Either way - Barnsey - the pcl file does not appear to use the input. Perhaps you don't need to worry about it?

Do you think that it may not have shown it being used because the engine wasn't running?

Sorry for the questions really don't know much about ECU's.

Going off the map supplied you have a G4 Storm based plugin which in theory has no free inputs on the XS connector.

I'm assuming you have the 2L cable throttle model not the 2.5L ethrottle

Yes that's right 2L cable throttle.

Do you have any idea what the green and white wires that are connected are for?

 

[Help with wiring]

Hi CamB,

I found this base map I took last year, nothing has changed since.

For me it looks like its a Inlet Air Temp (guessing its the sensor just before the throttle body in the intercooler piping)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It looks like the ecu tuning cable is there - could you connect to the ecu and see what the AN volt input is set up as?

I will give it a go when I get home?

Really don't know what to look for after I plug it in though.

Will get back to you tonight if you don't mind.

[Help with wiring]

I had a quick look.

Could it be to a sensor in the piping for the front mount intercooler just before the throttle body.

Cheers,

[Help with wiring]

I know, the engine let go and the engine builder/tuner I use doesn't tune Link.

So all I can do I suppose is follow it. Correct?

Could it be input from AFR? OR Any ideas what it could typically be?

Cheers,

[Help with wiring]

Hi

I am about to take the link G4 out of me 2004 STI.

The previous owner had the ECU put in.

My question is:

• There is a harness that comes out the back of the ECU (see attached photo) the only 2 wires being used is a green and a white one (marked in pic), what would these wires be used for?
• Is the harness an expansion harness?

Any help is really appreciated

 

Cheers,

[Link ECU specs and features]

Hi,

I am hoping someone can provide me with a link to the specifications and Features of my Link G4 ECU (Not G4+).

It is for a 2004 Subaru STI.

[How to log]

Hi,

I am very new to aftermarket ECU's and I have recently purchased a 2004 STI with a link G4 installed.

I would like to log the ECU to see what files are like, I have a feeling it is running rich.

I have downloaded the Link program to the computer just not sure where to go from there. I will not be changing anything but I would like to send the file to my tuner to have a look at.

Is there an idiots guide to starting out?

Cheers,

 

Scott
