the main difference is the map sensor.

newer gen vipec runs a 3 bar map sensor vs links 2.5 bar.

that was it for the differences afaik, and if you arent looking to run more than 30 psi thats all good.

From the web site it also looks like the Vipec has knock control built in where as the Link needs the knockblock add on?

And isnt it 20psi for the link? Because you have to take away 1 bar for the atmosphere?

I recent acquired a link cheap so I didnt research as much as usual so have some questions from someone who has used them!

as i said, 3 bar absolute vs 2.5 bar absolute (so take 1 bar away from both to get positive pressure)

Hatlech doesnt have knock control does it?

What model did you get?

I see, now I am on the same page

sending you to swim with Sharks :dry: eh!

kinda tells me they wanna get rida ya :devil:

Lol nah they like me too much, I deal with the people they don't need to lol

Swimming with sharks is like getting something out of the bottom draw in from of a seedy old man.

You feel safe, until you leave something exposed

This is very true, I'll either get eaten or speared by a stingray haha

they are a nice ecu and can do lots of nice extras, flat shifting and igition retard launch control provide pops bangs and stationary flutters/bov

ie, sitting at the lights clutch in, revs up, turbo spools, left off throttle. aww yea, 20 psi sitting still.

also they sound awesome with the antilag on.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
