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.

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.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
