I am looking at buying a LINK Engine Management System to run the R34 motor im putting in my S14 Silvia. I chose this ECU because my wiring loom is cut and this ECU is a wire-in unit. Im located in NZ so the LINK is very well priced and every tunder in NZ is familiar with it.

Now, i emailed LINK and asked them if this ECU is capable of running the NEO's VVL. This is the reply I got, (the main part anyway)-

"LEM is suitable for a Switched Variable Valve Timing application not a Continuously Variable Valve Timing application (I dont know off the top of my head which one your engine has)".

So, can anyone shed some light on whether or not the R34 motor uses switched vvl or continuous? I suspect the R33 motor is switched but the R34 is continuous. I hope it isnt, because if it then the car will be off the road for another couple of months while i save up for a LinkPlus which costs double the price of the LEM :P .

I'm pretty sure r34's have vvt up till about 6000 revs and then it shuts off and doesn't change at all. And i also believe it doesn't start up until 3000 or so revs. Don't quote me on that but i remember reading an article about that a while ago.

I'll try and dig it up.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
