ABout LINK

LINK ECU began in 1991 in New Zealand by a group of friends who were enthusiasts. Their first standalone engine control unit, the EMX, was assembled and adjusted by hand. The company's early success with the following LEM and LinkPlus controllers was fueled by New Zealand's rich motorsport scene, where tuners and teams needed ECUs capable of precise engine control under changing conditions.

​

Over time, LINK expanded its reach globally, becoming a staple in motorsports and performance tuning communities across Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia. Known for their plug-and-play options and universal ECUs, LINK products are used across a wide range of engines and applications, from grassroots builds to professional racing.

​

Commitment to Motorsport


LINK ECU has a strong presence in both grassroots and professional motorsport, supporting various racing disciplines including:

​

  • Time Attack

​

  • Drifting (widely used by teams in Formula Drift and D1NZ)

​

  • Drag Racing

​

  • Circuit Racing

​

LINK products are engineered to withstand the rigors of racing, with a focus on reliability, data precision, and flexibility to adapt to different vehicle setups.​

High-Speed Processing Power

At the core of LINK ECUs is a 32-bit microprocessor designed for real-time engine control adjustments. This high-speed processor can handle complex calculations for critical engine operations, such as:

​

  • Ignition Timing

  • Fuel Injection

  • Boost Management

  • Traction and Launch Control

​

With the ability to perform thousands of calculations per second, LINK ECUs can maintain precise control even under extreme racing conditions. This fast data processing ensures minimal latency between sensor inputs and ECU commands, which is essential for high-performance engines.

​

Advanced Sensor Integration

LINK ECUs are built to handle a wide variety of sensors, providing accurate real-time data for optimal engine control. The hardware supports high-resolution inputs from:

​

  • MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensors

  • Wideband oxygen sensors for closed-loop fuel control

  • Crank and cam position sensors for accurate timing and synchronization

  • Knock sensors for adaptive ignition timing under high load

​

This level of integration allows tuners to customize engine behavior with precision, ensuring maximum performance and reliability.

​

High-Resolution Fuel and Ignition Control

LINK ECU hardware delivers ultra-fine control of fuel and ignition timing, which is essential for achieving optimal air-fuel ratios and ignition accuracy.

​

  • Fuel Injection Control: The ECU can control both sequential and staged fuel injection, optimizing delivery under various load and RPM conditions.

  • Ignition Timing Precision: With sub-degree accuracy, LINK ECUs provide fine-tuned ignition timing for both naturally aspirated and forced-induction engines, improving power output and efficiency.

​

Built for High Performance and Durability

LINK ECU hardware is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of motorsport. Key features include:

​

  • Rugged Construction: Housed in durable, weather-resistant enclosures to handle heat, vibration, and moisture.

  • Temperature-Stable Components: Designed to perform reliably across a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions.

  • Noise-Immune Design: Engineered to minimize electrical interference and noise, ensuring accurate sensor readings and stable operation.

​

Expandable and Versatile Design

The hardware architecture of LINK ECUs is highly adaptable, making it suitable for a variety of engines and applications.

​

  • Multiple I/O Options: LINK ECUs offer extensive input and output options, including support for CAN-bus, LIN-bus, analog inputs, and digital outputs.

  • Compatibility with Modern Systems: Built to integrate seamlessly with modern dashboards, data loggers, and auxiliary systems.

  • Future-Proof Upgrades: LINK regularly provides firmware and software updates to improve performance and add new features without requiring new hardware.

​

Data Logging and Diagnostics

LINK ECUs come equipped with large onboard memory and advanced data logging capabilities, allowing for:

​

  • High-Speed Logging (up to 1000 Hz) for detailed performance analysis.

  • On-the-Fly Diagnostics through the CAN-bus or PCLink software.

  • Real-time error monitoring and adaptive strategies to prevent engine damage.​

​

In Summary

LINK ECU hardware and processors provide high-speed, real-time control, sensor precision, and extensive adjustments, making them ideal for both street and motorsport applications. Their ability to adapt to different engines and environments, combined with durability and cutting-edge technology, is why LINK remains a leader in advanced engine management systems.
