ECUs

An aftermarket ECU (engine control unit) replaces or takes over from the factory engine computer, giving a tuner full control of fuelling, ignition and other engine functions. This range includes Link G4X plug-in ECUs built for specific Subaru, Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Honda, BMW, MINI, VW, Audi and Lexus models, Link G4X universal ECUs, and the Syvecs S7Plus plug-in ECU for the Porsche 996 and 997.

Choosing the Right Part

Plug-in or universal: Plug-in ECUs are made for a specific vehicle and connect to its factory wiring. Universal ECUs from the Link G4X range (AtomX, StormX, MonsoonX and XtremeX) suit custom builds and engine conversions where no plug-in option exists.

Match the chassis code and version: Many plug-in ECUs only suit certain chassis codes, model years or versions. Check yours before you order. Some examples from this range:

  • Subaru WRX/STI (GC8): separate ECUs for V1-2, V3-4 and V5-6.
  • Subaru WRX (GDA/GGA) / STI (GDB): different options for MY04-06 and MY06-07. The WRXLink V11 suits the WRX (GR/GV/GH/GE) MY2007-2011.
  • Mazda MX-5: separate ECUs for the NB1 (MY98-00) and the NB2 (MY2001-2005).
  • Mazda RX-7: separate ECUs for the FC Series 6 and the FD3S Series 7-8.
  • Nissan: options for the Silvia (S13) and 200SX (S14/S15), Skyline GT-T (ER34), Skyline GT-R (BNR32/BCNR33/BNR34), 300ZX (Z32), and 350Z (Z33) / Skyline (V35).
  • Toyota: options for the Supra (A70/JZA80), MR2 (AW11/SW20), Celica (ST185/ST205), and Chaser/Cresta/Mark II (JZX90 and JZX100).
  • Mitsubishi: options for the Lancer Evolution I-III (CD9A/CE9A), Lancer Evolution VIII/IX (CT9A) and Galant VR-4 (EC5A).
  • Honda: options for the Civic (EG4 and EK), Integra Type R (DC5) / Civic Type R (EP3) / CR-V, and S2000 (AP1/AP2).

Check the fitment conditions: Some ECUs only suit certain drivetrains. For example, the JZXLink for the Toyota JZX100 suits manual cars only. Read the fitment notes on each product page.

Installation & What You'll Need

Installation by a professional is recommended. After it is installed, an aftermarket ECU must be set up and tuned to suit your engine and modifications. Universal ECUs also need wiring to suit the vehicle. Depending on your build, you may need extra parts such as sensors or ignition coils. If you want to display engine data, see our digital dashes.
