ECU – Plug&Plan standalone LINK ECU for MINI Cooper S R53 with basic map
Running on the G4X platform means the MiniLink now features a faster processor, faster communications chip and a whopping 512 megabytes of data logging. G4X also ensures some of the Motorsport features available with the MiniLink PlugIn ECU are even better. The traction control now has a torque management system integrated into it, with ignition retard, cuts, Ethrottle reduction and boost reduction, all making it more effective. Plus, G4X is much faster to react to everything, meaning the car runs very smooth and very responsive using one of these control units.
These benefits are for those who enjoy the odd track day with their Mini! We know there are plenty of you out there.
The Mini Cooper R53 is, in fact, a fantastic vehicle for those wanting both track and street performance. Despite being a lot of fun even in stock trim, they are are often heavily modified with aftermarket turbochargers, head polishing, higher spec injctors or larger throttle bodies. The stock ECU is not designed to handle these modifications, which is where the flexibility and usability of a Link ECU comes to play.
The MiniLink ECU is designed for the R53 Tritec 1.6 SC engine and works with manual transmissions only.
An XS Loom and 4 Bar Map Sensor (sold separately) are highly recommended to allow for the extra inputs/outputs and the additional boost from modified vehicles.
Our BMW Mini ECU is slightly different to other Link PlugIns because it comes in it’s own case, which then fits directly into the factory location. Installation of the unit is still a breeze with no alteration of the factory wiring loom required.
