rocky sivongxay Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 im trying figure out which ems to purchase and the link ecu seems to match my needs. i dont know how long the g3 has been out so my question is is there gonna be a linkplus g4 or lem g4 coming out soon or within the year. i dont want to purchase a g3 and come to find out a new model has been release and has more options thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashesman Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 It depends on exactly what you need. If the G3 ECU's meet your requirements then there will be no advantage in holding out for a new one. It is like anything, you will hold out for the next ECU, buy it then a better one will come along anyway. It depends on what your time frame is. If you are planning on buying something this year, then buy a G3. G3 firmware will continue to be supported and upgraded as always. We are continuously developing so new products are inevitable and eventually a G4 range will surface. Which Link ECU were you looking at and for what application. If you tell me exactly what you are doing, what engine you are running, what you need to wire and your time frame, I can help you determine the best ECU...

rocky sivongxay Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 i have a 93 toyota mr2 turbo 2.0 3sgte. i recently put a t3 turbo, manifold, downpipe, intercooler, exhaust, intake, and injectors. enough to get around 300whp on 18psi or so. but no engine management. i have no time frame. i do want the car to be fully functional. and would the ecu u recommend would work on a 05 pontiac gto?

ashesman Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I don't know anything about the Pontiac, but our ECU's are not vehicle specific, the user configures them for a particular application. In some cases we don't have engine position sensor decoding information for engines, so I would need to know a bit more about that car. But you can use the same ECU for two cars just by downloading a configuration file into it. We can do a plug-in option for the MR2 using an LEM G3. We would need to know if it is a revision 1 or revision 2/3 car. If you want to do a bit of motor sport, want full sequential injection or want to use knock control then the LinkPlus G3 would be a better option but is more expensive and requires wiring to install it.

rocky sivongxay Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 i have a rev2 but the linkplus g3 sounds better. (the pontiac gto is a rebadged holden monaro in austraila) i think it runs on direct (fire)spark ignition but it seems the lem can only do 2-4, is this correct?

ashesman Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 The LEM can run 8 coils, but you pair them up and run them as wasted spark. I always recommend a LPG3 for V8's anyway... You will need to find out if the Pontaic has an LS1, LS2 or LS7 engine. Also find out if it has electronic throttle.

rocky sivongxay Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 it has a ls2 and is a drive by wire throttle, i guess its the same as electronic throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashesman Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 LS2 is not a problem, we sell heaps of ECU's for them. Best ECU for that is a LinkPlus G3 although the LEM G3 will run it. We don't have a solution for the DBW at the moment, but it will not be long before we do...
