Built for Brutal Terrain: Link ECU for Rally
Reliable, responsive engine management for the most extreme environments. From WRC-style gravel to local clubman events, Link ECU powers rally performance.
Why Link ECU for Rally?
Rally-Proven Performance. Anywhere. Rallying racing pushes vehicles and electronics to the limit—rapid elevation changes, terrain shifts, water crossings, and unpredictable traction. Link ECUs are purpose-built, standalone engine management systems designed to replace outdated units and endure harsh conditions while giving drivers and teams advanced control over every tuning parameter. Required features such as anti-lag, launch control and data logging are all at your fingertips.
Whether you're building a Subaru WRX STI, AP4, R5 replica, or a grassroots rally car, Link has a solution that delivers unmatched control and reliability.
Made for the challenge
