PlugIn Installation Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your Link Plug-In Engine Control Unit (ECU). Link G4 ECUs are an advanced, fully

programmable microprocessor controlled Engine Management System.

The G4 software platform boasts an impressive list of features giving a new level of user adjustment. This

flexibility allows the tuner to have complete control over the engine management system. G4 software

employs high resolution fuel and ignition tables with configurable load and RPM centres. When coupled with

up to six dimensional fuel and ignition mapping, barometric pressure compensation and intake air

temperature correction this gives an unprecedented level of tuning accuracy. All Link G4 ECUs are in field

upgradeable, there is no need to return the unit for software updates.

All Link G4 Plug-In Engine Management Systems are designed with flexibility and ease of installation in

mind. Link Plug-In systems are designed to either replace the circuit board inside the factory ECU

enclosure, or entirely replace the factory ECU. This provides an invisible install that requires minimal

modification to vehicle wiring and ECU mounting.

Link Engine Management Systems are designed with the final result in mind. Not only do they boast an

impressive range of performance features, but are designed with a focus on safety, reliability and drive-ability.

However, the ultimate success of your engine management upgrade is determined by how well the system is

installed and tuned.

Installing and tuning any after market engine management system is not to be taken lightly. G4 ECUs give

the tuner the control & flexibility that only top after-market engine management systems in the world can

provide. While every effort has been made to keep G4 ECUs as user friendly as possible, it should be

recognised that added features bring added complexity.

The complete setup of your ECU can be divided into two important tasks:

This manual covers the installation of your G4 ECU. While it is not strictly essential that this work is

performed by an automotive electrician, the knowledge and tools available to these professionals makes it

highly recommended. Regardless of who does the installation, it is of utmost importance that instructions

provided in this manual are followed exactly throughout the installation.

Once the G4 ECU has been installed it will need to be tuned using a laptop computer with PCLink

software. Information on the configuration and tuning of the G4 ECU is detailed in the online help section

of PCLink. G4 ECUs are shipped pre-loaded with a base configuration that should be close enough to get

most engines running after a few application specific adjustments have been made. While hearing the

engine running on the new ECU for the first time is always a satisfying feeling, it is important to realise that

the job is not complete. The amount of tuning performed and the experience of the tuner are the two most

important factors in determining how happy you will be with your engine management system.

1.1 Safety Notice

Your Link Plug-In ECU is designed to enhance the performance of your vehicle. However in all cases, your

vehicle must be operated in a safe manner. Do not tune your vehicle while operating it on public roads.

Obey road rules at all times.

WARNING!

Failure to follow all installation and operating instructions may result in damage to

the Link ECU, personal injury, or harm to property.

1.2 Disclaimer

All care has been taken to ensure the pin outs and interconnections of the ECU to the vehicles wiring

harness are correct. However due to variations between vehicle models it is the installers responsibility to

check wiring connections BEFORE installing the ECU. Link will not be held responsible for any damage

caused by the incorrect installation of this product.
