Just found this... I'm sooooo glad you took the time to make these videos. They are extremely helpful. I've been a mechanic for over 30 years and was always afraid to try and tune anything myself. These video's give me the confidence and information I desperately needed. THANKS!
@@CanyonTuned Question.... Do you offer any "remote" tuning help? Would you be willing or able to review a log or two in the near future? I'd be willing to compensate you for your knowledge and time if need be. I am currently putting an ej2.5 STI rear engine in a kit car at the moment and I am utilizing the Link G+ Atom II ecu in the build. Engine specs are really close to factory... Factory new short block 8.5.1 comp ratio, 83lb injectors, non turbo heads, factory cams, ARP stud kit, 3-wire tps, Garrett gt28rs turbine, Tial waste gate and BOV. I'm not planning on more than 10/12 psi of boost. I was thinking that the Link file "WRX v3-G4+ Xtreme" looks like a good starting map. Again, thanks for these extremely helpful videos... I appreciate any input you may have.
Awesome idea of dropping rpm in danger settings. I always wanted some kind of buzzer if temps were to high or pressure to low, but hitting the rev limiter would be a better option because you are always listening and feeling the engine when you are looking through the turn and not at the gauges. Thanks for a great intro
I used the base file for a 3SGE Beams engine and I think leaving it as modelled with new fuel pressure sensor or temp sensor has given me some problems. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you very much for the video, this made my decision easier to go with this ecu for my S2000.. I was between this and haltech, but haltech requires a harness cost more, Links seems to be able to do everything and friendly software..
Yeah haltech is cool and all, but for the s2k link is a no brainer. It's the only true plug and play out there. No jumper harness bs that doesn't fit in the small side panel area
@@CanyonTuned i just downloaded the software today to see how it is.. i am use to hondata so this is very different, but i feel once i learn the program i should be fine to be able to tune my s2k.. eventually i am going to turbo or supercharge, i want to get the ecu first and learn the program before i do FI.. So far i think is the best option for 2005 and under S2000s.
Question for you - I have purchased the plug and play ECU for an s2000. I also have a charger kit to go on but I want to order/collect sensors etc. can I install the ECU and run link’s base map safely and drive the car whilst NA?
Most of the link base maps I've seen compared to stock will be mostly identical to OEM however your ignition table is greatly reduced, and target AFRs are way too rich. If you tune those tables to closely match the OEM values you'll be in good shape. Also please look at my other videos and use mixture map to dial in your fuel table at minimum
Hey man, my car was running and I was setting up a digital dash, I’ve plugged into the ECU and unlocked it, now the car won’t start? What am I missing 😅
Honestly I would ignore the Mac setup, it's strictly for the training videos. But I'm running a UTM Windows 7 VM. It's extremely slow on Apple Silicon, wouldn't recommend it for actual tuning. I have a second windows laptop I actually tune on
Im nore convinced now to go down this route, but can It use can bus signal to run rev counter and other dash instruments that need a can bus signal to functuon correctly ?
You can configure analog and digital outputs for all kinds of external devices. It doesn't necessarily need to be can bus although that's the ideal communication method
Hi, i am playing with the basemap that comes loaded for the s2000 on links g4x and have a question.. Is there any way on the Ignition table map to show the vacuum ignition numbers? When i try to change the settings it won't allow me to input a - value on the map psi side of the table.. Another thing i notice is their basemap shows way to high of ignition timing on the basemap, for example at 11.6psi at 9000rpms they have 33.8 timing to me that is bad enough to blow an engine if people don't know what they are doing and just leave ignition alone and tune fuel only.. or i am reading this wrong?
Your ignition table y axis is map not manifold gauge pressure. You'd never have a negative value. Usually in full vacuum you'll be in the 20s. Which is why you can't enter a -. Also I agree the base map is probably too aggressive for timing. I usually pull 2 degrees per psi of boost is a safe starting point. My 3rd planned video for this series should cover ignition timing soon
@@CanyonTuned Yes that will help if you cover timing in a video.. i was going of hondata s300 what i am use to on their timing table they do have vacuum timing tables before positive map boost pressure, that is the reason i was asking, but makes sense what you wrote.
Yeah the link ecu has a barometer on board so it accounts for atmospheric pressure, so the stock ecu pressure scale and link will be calculated different

Just takes research! I was tired of tuners referring to tuning as black magic. Tuning should be accessible to everyone

You can set the safety features up to do whatever you want when a limit is reached
what a perfect first contact with the ecu! thanks for it!
Dude you're my Christmas present. thank you for making this!
Planning on doing more! just haven't had time unfortunately
man this is SOOO useful. Im looking to get a link G4X for my 04 STi and I feel like this video is a godsend so thank you so much for this!!
I am LOVING this mate!! Thank you for posting this!!
cheers mate, You're doing gods work here. Getings so many good tips to tune my g4+ subaru.
tanks g
This was great! for beginners like me. Thanks bro.
I used the base file for a 3SGE Beams engine and I think leaving it as modelled with new fuel pressure sensor or temp sensor has given me some problems. Thanks for the tip!
Even then you should be able to used the modeled fueling mode, if your fuel table seems way off you probably don't have your injector settings correct
Thank you sir for this video! I want all the knowledge please 😊

Thanks for the great info!
Very helpful video. Enjoyed.
great content! thanks a bunch
Seeing that you're running on a Mac. What VM software are you using?
I wouldn't recommend it M chips are horrible at running x86 stuff. It barely runs, I did it just for video demonstration

Hi, can you unlock and load base map without the ecu connected to the car? Thanks
I guess you could if you had all the right power and grounds hooked up? But not sure why you'd want to do that
I'm new in this area, how do you connect the ECU via an obd adapter like bluetooth, elm327, directly to the car or ..
You can't. It's a serial/USB connection
Hey man, my car was running and I was setting up a digital dash, I’ve plugged into the ECU and unlocked it, now the car won’t start? What am I missing 😅
No idea, start looking for any errors or trigger issues. It could be a million different things
So if we using cable type thorttle also using linkg4 to calibrate the TPS?
Calibration process is the same no matter what throttle setup you have
@@CanyonTunedSo just simple install just use link Software calibrate settle rite
What is your method for running this on the Mac?

Hello how to do if I want to use the return signal of the headlights or other things as a trigger signal for the antilag thanks 🙏
You'd have to wire that into expansion plug and set that aux pin as the input for antilag but yeah easy to do
@@CanyonTuned Ok but how to make him understand to the ECU the pin I want to use
You just select in the antilag setup whichever expansion pin you wired it to. It's really not complicated
@@CanyonTuned The problem is that I can't know which output selected to match my wiring 😓
@@subaru0406 the paper that came with your ecu tells you all the pins you can tap into for auxiliary stuff
