The Thunder is our biggest, most advanced ECU yet.
The Thunder is designed for high end applications requiring maximum performance, flexibility and tuning control. The Thunder has more inputs, more outputs and more features than any other Link ECU.
The Thunder has all the features found on other LinkECU’s plus onboard 3 axis accelerometer, two EGT thermocouple inputs, two Onboard Lambda Controllers and 2 x E-throttle Controllers.
If it is Direct Injection you are after, consider the Force GDI.
SPEC OVERVIEW
Inputs
16 x Digital inputs (6 are high speed differential type for ABS sensors etc)
4 x Temperature inputs
16 x Analog inputs
2 x Trigger inputs
2 x Knock inputs
2 x LSU 4.9 Wideband lambda sensor inputs
2 x K Type Thermocouple inputs
Outputs
8 x Peak and Hold injection drives
8 x Ignition drivers
18 x Auxiliary outputs^
+5V Sensor power supply
+8V Sensor power supply
^unused fuel and ignition drives can be used as additional Aux outputs
Communications
2 x CAN bus
1x Serial (RS232) connection
1x USB tuning connection
Advanced features not found on the Xtreme or Fury:
2 x Onboard digital wideband lambda controllers, no separate box required. Higher accuracy, simple setup and long sensor life are some of the advantages compared to a separate analog input wideband device.
2 x Fully programmable E-throttle controls complete with capability of gear shift throttle blip and antilag (for engines with 2 electronic throttle bodies).
2 x K type thermocouple EGT inputs – direct connection of EGT sensors with no extra interface box.
