Seeing as more people are running aftermarket ecus and a reflashing the newer model Subaru\'s I thought I would offer my services and help out with questions. Everything I have done is self learned over years. I prefer link g4 ecus and can make them do some seriously cool stuff but can help with others to. Eg Motec, haltech, micro tech etc.

I\'m just trying to help out the club with tuning questions so all our knowledge can grow

I\'ve used the g4 knock block. Original knock link and the Motec knock device I can\'t remember why it\'s called.

And the knock light. The g4 knock light and g4 knock link are both awesome.

Original knock link is crap in comparison.

would you recommend installing one of those knock lights when I install my g4?

Sorry to butt in, but crap that\'s dear...Could you wire an LED to Knock Sensor?

Or cheap shift light to knock sensor?

Edit: Or CEL to Knock Sensor?

If I come up to chch in the future can you have a look at the tune and if needs be retune my v7 sti wagon? It has been recently done by a friends friend but would be nice to get a more experienced perspective on what changes can/should be made to up performance. Has quite a few mods and would like to get more raaapsh out of it. Ha it\'s the stock ecu. Would it be worth getting a link or is stock fine.

Cheers

Yep, I had it reflashed just recently, I know very little about it all. (Trying to learn, struggling though... I think it\'s def a different type of clever to know an engine)

I was just wondering, are their more gains to be had with a link over the stock or is it all in the tuning.

i\'m going to say it\'s in the tuning, but some will disagree.

stock ecu has a perfect cold start set up already, that alone can cost hundreds with a tuner and link.

i don\'t know, tbh the link may be a better unit, but hell, if your ecu is perfectly suited for your car already, why reinvent the wheel, when you are better off just making the wheel round, if you know what i mean :)

That is not a bad price for what it is. it works amazing and nothing you can make easily or buy cheaper comes close and is easy to set up.

Plug in and auto calibrates. when it lights up red you have knock. very reliable

Definetly can help out. I can even show you how/what to change/tune.

Stock ECU is flashable yes but I have found so many limitations to it. especially with the later ones. Like values you cant change and tables you cant freely configure/change values enough. My theory is keep it until you find limitations you cant easly get around

So that trademe Knock Light is a Stand Alone Unit

When plugged in, is it connected directly to Link?

Does the Link adjust any parameters when Knock is detected? Or just flash a Light?

Or is that where the Other Knock Devices come into play? :-\

Awesome, cheers.

I\'ll be in touch when I get a chance to head up those ways and hopefully we can sort something out.

its a completly standalone unit and not connected to an ecu in anyway.

Link can have a knock sensor hooked up to it but nothing to do with knock link

The old knock link is very very prone to electrical noise and doesnt have the digital filtering of the new one.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
