Link Subaru WRX / STI V1-2 ECU

Description

WRXLINK – #WRX2X

JDM 1992-1996

Free yourself from the constraints of the factory ECU.

The Link G4X WRXLink (1-2) WRX2X PlugIn fits the Subaru WRX & STI V1-2. The ECU PCB fits discretely inside the original factory enclosure.

Installation of Link’s Subaru WRX2X ECU is a breeze with no alteration of the factory wiring loom required. A built-in connector (or pins in some models) provides additional inputs and outputs such as oil pressure inputs or anti-lag / logging switches.

Factory features are supported – see Features for any exceptions.

MAP Sensor not included.

This ECU will support naturally aspirated, parallel twin or single turbo configurations.
