erik clark Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have come into posession of a link ecu, which I am trying to set up in my USDM 2000 subaru 2.5rs. Below is the information I know about the link: It has a single chip, labled D42EJAVO On the side, it states Subaru EJ20/25 It also has a manufacture date? 230603 Inside is a serial number: 2003/02 S/N 001896 I am trying to confirm that this is indeed a link g1, compatible for use with my USDM 2000 subaru 25rs (normally aspirated 2.5 litre motor). I currently have the harness that was used previously for this ecu in a different application, but it is a bit mangled. I would like to know if my shopping cart list below is all that I would need, and to confirm just which version link ecu I have so I can download the appropriate manuals. Grocery list! --- comlink (for usb connection between the ecu and my laptop) 4 port header adapter for straight plugin replacement of the ecu (I am not keen on wiring this directly) I believe I only need the appropriate manual, the comlink, usb drivers, tuning software (pc link hopefully ) and the appropriate header adapter for plugin operation. Please advise if I am correct, or this is not even a suitable application for this specific link ecu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashesman Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 OK, this ECU is an LEM with special software for AVO... It does not have PC tune (must be tuned with a hand held tuning module)... This ECU will run your engine but will have to be wired to the vehicle, there is no plug in option... It can be upgraded to V5 software which has PC tune... I know thats a short answer, but probably answers all your questions!

erik clark Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Ashley, I was informed that Neil at Link USA had created the looms and would be able to make a header for me, so am not too woried about that. I would like to upgrade this to v5 software; how would I do this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashesman Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Best contact Neil, he will be able to do the upgrade to PC tune... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Finan Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I just bought the same thing, used. Only the S/N is different. The seller told me it was pc tuneable, how can I tell for sure? S/N is 001940. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashesman Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 What type of ECU is it and what do the stickers inside the eCU say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Finan Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 On the top cover it says: LINK Engine Management www.link-electro.co.nz The sticker on the outside back says: LINK Subaru EJ20/25 D42EJAVO 230603 The large LINK chip says: D42EJAVO 200603 The sticker on the inside wall says: 2003/02 S/N 001940 I was told that I could wire this into the 91-94 Legacy w/ej22t motor.

ashesman Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 It should wire in and run your motor fine, but none of the special AVO software was PC tuneable. It can be upgraded to PC tune if required... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
