Hey guys i have the chance to get a link ECU pretty cheap

What i need to know is:

Is it a good ECU?

Who tunes them in sydney?

What are the costs involved in tuning them in sydney?

I need to know whether to hang on to my safc II or sell it and buy the link.

What do you guys think?

Thanks

Mike

horrible, you'll hate it....now what model Link ecu, how much and where? (im thinking of updating my Link ECU) :huh:

seriously, i think it is as good as the guy doing the tuning.

the scope of support for Link's is limited here in Brisvegas, MRT would be one starting point in sydney as they sell the Links.....

Hi mate, my car has a Link ECU & is currently at CRD Croydon being tuned & a few other things done, also i had it tuned at SAS Silverwater Automotive Services earlier this year..

I havnt had any problems with this ecu & its been in use for 3years now, this ecu also doesnt run a airflow meter its just not that popular...

Hope that helps..

thanks guys i will make a few phone calls tommorrow and see roughly how much it will cost me to tune........it has already been tuned on an r33 but with a whole bunch more mods than my one. don't know if that will aid my cause at all

another thing.....i heard that with the link you need to advance the CAS all the way.....this doesn't seem right to me......any input?

lol phrase........if i change my mind i will let you know first........

Cheers

Im running a link.

really good ecu's they use no afm, easy to tune, good cold starts on them starts like factory ecu...i dont really get the best fuel economy though around town driving bout 200kms to $50 fuel..making around 210rwkw..personally i wouldnt touch a pfc i think link are better anyway.

you wouldnt touch a pfc?? you dont like fuel economy by the sounds of things :sleep:

yeah i wouldnt touch a pfc, i had one b4 the link and sold it, same car similiar mods but smaller turbo and same tuner he gets 180km to a tank of ultimate,could be the tuner he normally tunes safe and doesnt care about power figures to make customer happy but makes sure it will last...but yeah

Ok so i bought the link. installed it and road tuned it using a wideband.......must say i am really impressed with the ease of tuning. the only thing it lacks is tuning zones.....there just aren't enough of em..

But seriously now the power FC is discontinued it wouldn't be a bad option to look into in my opinion anyway.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.

      don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.

      Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.

      yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
