When Bob Rawle mapped my car he had a car booked in for mapping a link, he said it was easier as it could be mapped live but there were better ones about.....

As you going to be investing a fair chunk of money into the engine, I would go with a syvecs as it has active knock control. If it detects knock it will retard the timing and stop the engine from destroying itself.
You can also wire in sensors for oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, exhaust temp and fuel pressure so if any of them are go beyond safe running the ecu will kill the engine or go into limp mode.
Yes it is a lot of money but I feel it is the one of the main reason I made the power I did and the engine has lasted as long as it has

I'm looking at tweaking my Skyline up a bit and all the Skyline forums seem to rave about the Link G4, some running big numbers. So today I've been to MGT racing in Nuneaton, I mentioned the Syvecs unit and they said it was a better ecu but it also cost quite a bit more. I don't think the Syvecs is as straight forward to fit to a Skyline as the G4 is.

Scoobyclinic are doing the Syvecs for £1695 fitted and mapped here. I think they do the Link as well, maybe give them a ring and speak to Kev. That's my next step.

Somebody can supply, fit and map a syvecs including dyno time for £1500, if I fail to mention the VAT like others have in their post lol but I mentioned the dyno time also which they didnt.
Link G4 I believe will cost you £860+VAT for the unit and then mapping of upto £400+VAT + dyno time..
There is also obviously the SimTek option
