info on link g4+ ecu
 

anyone used the ecu any good

i think they are quite popular on toyotas as when I had my GT4 it was they way to go for more power (stock ECU was pretty much untunable).

^^ Agreed

Had one on my MR2 running just over 300Bhp, with mild mods and loads more opportunity, nice simple ECU to use.

Launch control and all the toys, switchable maps too

Cant speak for them on any other make though

We are Link/Vipec dealers and have use them to great effect on many cars over the years, however they aren't popular amongst Impreza owners for some reason.
We normally fit Alcatek or Syvecs to Imprezas, Alcatek for the budget market, Syvecs for those with deep pockets.

So for 'Budget' read cheap, Alcatek being the Aldi ECU as opposed to the Waitrose Syvecs? But at £1k+ per unit the Alcatek is hardly cheap and is surely all you would ever need for a road car isn't it? :)

Link g4
 

Im running one of these on my skyline mega bit of kit not cheap but i say buy nice or buy twice the features list is amazing on it

no point getting alcatek andy is a waste of time and will not answer his phone and takes to long to do anything
thanks for the replys .just got a syvecs

The Alcatek isn't £1k + per unit. It's that installed inc vat where the Syvecs is about £1249+ vat just to buy it.
It's not exactly lacking in features and yes I'm well aware of Andys customer service issues being one of his longest established dealers.

Can't beat im the G4+ for the price.if you want all the bells and whistles I wouldn't look at anything else.
I run the link on my race car and street car. Very good system and easy to tune etc.

been told not that good

You've been told wrong, probably by someone selling you a Syvecs.

martyn which ecu would be the better one to go with the link g4 or the alcatek .a friend is looking for one but will not spend the money on a syvecs

What is the spec of the car and is it mainly for road use or out and out motorsport use ?

motorsport sprint / track day

And, to butt in, Toucan works with Syvecs, AlcaTek AND Link/Vi-PEC...so any of them is a good choice from my point of view lol

Alcatek all the way and use the money saved compared to the cost of the link to add a load of additional sensors.
Wideband, oil pressure and temp would be useful and get a Toucan.

ok thanks
