Which Link? The new Link G4 ECUS seem very powerful and affordable, and is available in a P&P. There are 3 versions, Storm, Extreme, Plug & Play (90-97 Miatas). From what I can tell, they are nothing like the original (G1) Link systems.
Link is also the manufacturer of Vi-PEC ECUs, which offer the same 3 models with different names: V44, V88, Plug & Play (90-97 Miatas). Difference between the Links and VI-PECS appears to be the software & support. Hardware is largely the same, but firmware & software are different. Vi-PEC is alleged to be more advanced, as the company was founded by a former Autronic dealer who contracted Link to produce the ECUs. I am close to pulling the trigger on a Vi-PEC. Even the entry-level V44 includes such features as sequential fuel, flat-shift, many different variable cam controls (including Mazda VViT), 3D-6D fueling, traction control. The V88 is exactly the same, but adds extra inputs/outputs, knock control, and native control for Drive-By-Wire. http://www.vi-pec.com What were we talking about? Oh yea, 1999 heads. No idea what they are going for, but would be interested in a VViT head (see previous paragraphs for reason!). :o) Actually, I'll just change the subject line. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason C To: [email protected] ; Bryan Wyatt ; nsu Tolich Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2010 8:41 PM Subject: Re: 99 head MS and Link cannot. Controlling VVT needs closed loop control - i.e. detect phase then adjust solenoid duty cycle as needed. There isn't a 1 to 1 correspondence between VVT solenoid and cam phase. The VVT mechanism integrates the solenoid / spool valve position over time to result in phase. --- On Wed, 5/12/10, nsu Tolich <[email protected]> wrote: From: nsu Tolich <[email protected]> Subject: Re: 99 head To: [email protected], "Bryan Wyatt" <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 1:02 PM AEM controls VVT just fine, Adaptronic as well perhaps even Link can do it- using the Boost Control output- and using a "ball/spring" for boost control instead MS surely can be configured to run VVT Since we already know Hydra does, that pretty much covers typical install. --- On Wed, 5/12/10, Bryan Wyatt <[email protected]> wrote: From: Bryan Wyatt <[email protected]> Subject: Re: 99 head To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 12:33 PM Given that there are less ECU's out there that can control VVT than not, I'd say no. The most prized part of a 01-05 engine is the bottom end. -Bryan --- On Wed, 5/12/10, Ken Bogart <[email protected]> wrote: From: Ken Bogart <[email protected]> Subject: Re: 99 head To: "mike wong" <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 3:26 PM Is an 01 head and intake manifold worth more?
