Amazing video! Quick question, I have a link G4+ V5/6 PnP. I am fitting a V4 Subaru Impreza engine in to my V5 which was previously working fine in a V4 Impreza. However I am told it may not start due to the difference in cam timings between the 2 versions. However I have the benefit of a link so will it just work or do I have to change a setting? Many Thanks from the UK!
Hey Steve yes you are correct. The Plug and Play part is mainly for the connection to the existing harness. Underneath it's a standlone and therefore works as a standalone. You can change all the trigger settings and repurpose outputs and inputs. Also add inputs that are not avaliable on the standard harness. For example in this video we are using an Altezza Link PNP ECU to run a 1JZ-GTE VVT-i in an IS200 ua-cam.com/video/83ArTeJZVqw/v-deo.html In this video we have actually used an Altezza PNP just to run a 1JZ-GTE VVT-i on it's own. ua-cam.com/video/Xg6BYnHYTic/v-deo.html So you can see although they are plug and play they are still very flexible.
Hello Tang so just to be sure. You've set the Link ECU to lock the timing at 0 degrees but when checking the timing with your light you are seeing 10 degrees? If that is the case then you need to adjust the value that I showed by 10 degrees to move your timing to 0. But some engines would find it difficult to start and run on 0 degrees so you might be better off locking the timing in the Link ECU to 10 Degrees and adjusting the value until you see 10 degrees at the engine.
Does this apply for running base maps? I've just bought a Link G4X Plug n Play and I'm going to set it up on the base map so I can drive the car to the engine mapper.
Hey Big Supes. Checking base timing applies no matter what the scenario. Doesn't matter if it is Plug and Play or wired in. You always want to be sure that the timing is correct and you should never assume that it is correct. With a Plug and Play it should be correct but don't assume. We all know what assumptions are!

if my engine is firing at 10 degrees but the ecu is locked at 0 degrees, can i just change the timing lock to 10 degrees? and it will be synced?
