I had to do a search to even find out what a Link G4X is. I doubt anyone will be able to help you but you never know. Good luck.

Also had to look it up and so others do not need to, apparently a Link g4x is a programmable engine ecu.

Your other thread has one side of the problem,
viewtopic.php?t=90348

And this thread has a (simplified) diagram for the other, post by AdamW,
https://forums.linkecu.com/topic/12046- ... al-wiring/

There's no ready-made solution to a job like this, it's not a Barra ;) . Start with the wiring diagrams, and a single component, eg, Crank Sensor. Find out which pinouts cover that as existing, and then map those to the Link pinouts. Do not change focus until you have that first component figured out. Only then move to the next component. Repeat.

Eventually, you'll have a list of every component, and where it goes on the new ECU. Build a list, I'd use Excel to do it, so you end up with every sensor input you need, which existing wires/pins are used, and which wires/pins you need to use on the Link. Only then do you start chopping wires.

I'd think you need a bare minimum of

Crank Sensor
Cam Sensor
Throttle Position Sensor
Air Temperature Sensor
Water Temperature Sensor
Manifold\Boost Pressure Sensor
(Knock sensor?)
Injector Drives
Ignition Drives

Though you will be at least partially led by what the current ECU has, though with the age of it I can't imagine it's all that complex.

Thanks heaps shutu, sorry if I spelled that wrong. I wrote it out then realised I had a few things wrong then questioned myself and got paranoid then now Im just testing everything running new wires for the big stuff.
It’s good to learn and good to know
