MX5LINK - MX5X

Free yourself from the constraints of the factory ECU. 


The Link G4X MX5Link (#MX5-X) PlugIn ECU fits the Mazda MX5 1600-1800 (NA models) and the GTX/R (1800cc). The ECU PCB fits discretely inside the original factory enclosure. (Please note that this unit is only suitable for the 2 plug ECU and not the later 3 plug models).

Installation of Link's MX5 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.

Need more inputs and outputs? 
The XS Expansion Loom offers the ability to add additional inputs & outputs on our range of plug-in ECUs. 

Includes Integrated 4 Bar MAP Sensor.
