Need Configuration settings Link G1 for Subaru EJ20 turbo
Up to Link G1 Forum
I have a Link G1 wired up to a subaru 1993'ish JDM EJ20G turbo engine in a 1967 VW bug. I would like to set the configuration on the ecu so I can get the car started. I plan to have the car tuned professionally but need to get it started so I can get it up on the trailer, move it around, etc. I don't know where to begin with the different settings in PCLink to get it running. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a file I can upload to the G1 that will get the car running and have the correct settings? I have two coil packs, so I think that means it's wasted spark and also I'm using the factory subaru timing wheel.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Craig,
Sounds like a cool project, I bet it will be pretty quick once all set-up. How did you do your intercooler setup?
Link G1 ECU's have a triiger sub-board that is specific to the type of engine you want to run the ECU with. Has your G1 ECU come off a subaru? If not you will need to have the sub-board changed.
If your ECU does have the subaru sub-board you should just be able to set your ignition setup to wasted spark, do a TPS calibration and that should get you running.
Here is a link to our G1 documentation http://www.linkecu.com/support/documentation/g1-engine-management-documentation
Regards,
Scott

Scott, thank you for the link. I will look at this. I purchased the ecu used from a person who was using it on a subaru powered dune buggy. At that point, it was programmable by the handheld programmer. I contacted a Link tuning shop here in California for assistance connecting the ecu to my laptop. They sold me a comlink box to connect to my ecu. Then when it would not connect, I sent in my ecu, they in turn sent it to Link USA to be converted/upgraded to connect with a laptop to the ecu. So I am assuming that it has the trigger sub-board that is specifically for the subaru motor.
To see more of what I'm doing, here's the link to my build thread, http://shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=134735&p=1052817#p1052817
The intercooler is placed above the engine in line with the air flow coming in to the beetle's engine compartment. I had to fabricate a pipe that is basically a V pipe to connect the intercooler to the throttle body. I'm still finishing up connections such as the blow off valve and the turbo to intercooler pipe.

Scott,
Thank you so much for the map. I will load it and when I'm ready to run the motor, I will definitely let you know. I understand the slow part of the process, I have been working on subaru conversion for almost five years as I have time and money. You should definitely check out www.thesamba.com and http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/ lot of great info on these sites.
Thanks again
Craig
