Monsterbishi Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Evening all - Tried to reach out to the Link team via the enquiry button on the website but haven't heard back so I thought I'd ask here instead. I have a NA MX5 Link G4+ running my V8 Mustang at the moment but want to switch to a injection and ignition setup that will use more pins than what the OEM MX5 connector has available, I can get around this by having an extra connector added but isn't terribly elegant. In this regard, has anyone approached Link before to see if they're able to re-house a Plugin ECU back into it's parent case so that you could switch to the normal two * 34 pin connectors? I'm happy to throw money at the problem, just not so much that I could buy another ecu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 The plug-in ECU is a completely different ECU, it is only designed to fit on plug-in specific adapter boards. The wire-in ECU's are a larger single board design with the main connectors part of it, more drivers and heat sinking etc. The closest you could do would be a "bottom board swap" to change it to a plug-in that has more IO available. WRX9X and DC5 Honda are a couple that spring to mind that are fairly complete and have 8 injector and ignition drives available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsterbishi Posted April 30 Author Report Share Posted April 30 That is a solid idea, is there a particular person on the Link team that I would be best to contact about getting this done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Just email [email protected] and enquire about a "bottom board swap". If you make contact during NZ bus hours you will likely get Simon and he is quite familiar with the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
