All Link ECU’s host a huge array of features and inputs applicable to performance vehicles. Selecting which of these are important to your build should be one of the first steps you make before deciding which ECU to purchase. With competition in mind, some of the following Motorsport specific features could be vital for you. Traction control Traction control helps limit tire slip in acceleration on slippery surfaces. Traditionally, drivers have had to feather the gas pedal to prevent the drive wheels from spinning wildly on slippery pavement or under extremely heavy acceleration. Aftermarket ECU’s however, can be programmed to control /...

A CAN LAMBDA sensor, often referred to as an oxygen sensor, measures the level of oxygen in exhaust gases. This level is critical in obtaining the optimal air fuel mixture when tuning an engine. CAN refers to the Controller Area Network which acts as the ‘nervous system’ of a vehicle, enabling communication from one part to another. The lambda calculation determines the ratio between the amount of oxygen actually present in the exhaust compared to the amount that should have been present to obtain perfect combustion.  This air fuel ratio information which the CAN Lambda provides is essential for a tuner. The fuel input, power output and air fuel ratio...

Link has a wide range of ECU's that offer many different features. You may be asking yourself, "Which is the right ECU for me?". That's where our handy comparison chart comes in. If you are unsure of which one best fits your needs and circumstances, then take a look at the chart below. This should help you in making a quick and informed decision. Alternatively, speak to your dealer who will be able to point you in the right direction.     Please note, that our PlugIn ECU range runs on the same platform as the G4X XtremeX. The features...

The short answer answer is to eliminate crank case pressure. If you have pressure in the crank case (engine block) building up to a point that could potentially slow down the rotating assembly (rods and pistons) wouldn't you want to alleviate that pressure? Yes!  Turbocharger setups benefit from these the most but there’s more than one purpose of having a properly vacated crank case system. Ever notice your turbo has oil coming out from the inlet? The reason for that is usually, if not always, crank case pressure building up and vacating to the path of least resistance, that being the oil...
