SOLD - Bolt on Turnkey (Complete) EFI System for Type 1
Lateral - June 30th, 2013 at 03:16 PM

FOR SALE

Complete turnkey EFI System for VW motor - $1,950.00.

This custom setup was originally installed on the 1916cc motor that was in Stenguns Blue 1967 Beetle and is no longer needed as a new motor running dual carbies has been installed.

Everything was working perfectly prior to removing it as I drove the car from Brisbane to Sydney with no problems.

Absolutely everything (including a short wiring loom, new looms can be easily purchased) is there to provide a turnkey system...apart from the obvious need to set it up properly and tune it.

The ATOM G4 ( http://www.linkecu.com/products/engine-management-ecus/g4_atom ) is a highly configurable ECU and is configured by downloading the free software from the LinkECU website. All documentation is available free from the website also.

I have used their Customer Support as I wanted to find out more about the Atom G4 (they are based in New Zealand) and I have to say that they were really fantastic.


The following parts are shown in the attached photo:

1. Custom made Plenum x 1
2. CB Injector inlet manifolds x 2
3. Injectors x 4 (Serviced and flowed at 142cc per minute)
4. Fuel Rails x 2
5. Cold Start circuit x 1
6. KN Style air cleaners x 2
7. 60 mm Single Throttle Body
8. Scat degree pulley fitted with Crank Trigger Wheel x 1
9. Crank trigger sensor x 1
10.Atom G4 ECU with mounting bracket x 1
11.New Injector connectors and boots x 4
12.NEW TPS x 1
13.New Air Temp Sensor x 1
14.Coil pack x 1
15.Piersburg EFI Electric Fuel pump x 1
16.Oil Temp Sensor x 1 (With mounting plate)
17.Fuel regulator x 1
18.Air Cleaner manifold x 1
19.Miscellaneous aluminium tube connection pieces
20.Wiring loom-shortend (not shown as I just found it-21/07/2014)

Some interesting things to note:

1. The Atom G4 price new is about $1,200.00
2. The cost of the new TPS was $170.00
3. The cost of the new Air Temp Sensor was $61.00
4. The cost of the injector service etc was $230.00

This comes to more than $1,600.00!

As you can see from the above, the $1,950.00 asking price is somewhat of a bargain.

Everything is located in Sydney (Willoughby) and I am more than happy to arrange postage if needed.

Thanks guys

Regards
Greg

Thanks mate

That's much better :lol:


bugzla - July 1st, 2013 at 08:09 PM

why did you take it off if it was working perfect and more adjustable then carbies I don't understand?


Lateral - July 1st, 2013 at 09:16 PM

I decided to have a new motor built and anguished over whether or not I would use the EFI configuration or switch over to dual carbies like I had on a previous motor and keep the EFI setup for another project. I decided to go with carbies as Rod Penrose, who built the motor, is more familiar with carbs.

So, I was going to keep the EFI but decided to sell it instead of having it sit in a box in my shed.


beetleboyjeff - July 1st, 2013 at 10:03 PM

It certainly looks like a good setup.


Lateral - July 2nd, 2013 at 03:14 PM

Hi Jeff,

Yep, I've been told by people that know that it is a really good setup. If I don't sell it I'll simply hang onto it for the next project.

bugzla - July 20th, 2014 at 03:44 PM

I dont understand why you wont sell the wiring with it if its no use to you


Lateral - July 20th, 2014 at 03:46 PM

What wiring?


bugzla - July 20th, 2014 at 03:52 PM

Absolutely everything (except the wiring loom that is easily purchased or make your own) is there to provide a turnkey system...apart from the obvious need to set it up properly and tune it.


bugzla - July 20th, 2014 at 03:52 PM

maybe I miss read it


Lateral - July 20th, 2014 at 04:04 PM

The only wiring that isn't supplied is the actual "wiring harness" that goes from the ECU to the injectors etc. Everything else is provided.

Many of the critical parts are 100% brand new.

This is because whoever installed it originally must have had their eyes closed and it was a real mess.

I assumed that whoever purchased it or if I reused it, would purchase a nice brand new wiring harness to ensure that it was installed correctly and neatly.

Best Regards
Greg


bugzla - July 20th, 2014 at 05:12 PM

okay thanks for the feed back hopefully it helps with the sale ............................ If I had the cash I would buy it but with my situation not for a few years yet lol good luck greg


Boozo - July 20th, 2014 at 07:11 PM

any idea what sort of HP the 1916 ran with this setup? and any pictures of the old loom? I assume it wouldnt be hard to get made?


Lateral - July 20th, 2014 at 07:28 PM

Hi mate,

No idea regarding the HP of the 1916. All I can say is that the drive from Brisbane to Sydney was great and the motor was great to drive.

Regarding the loom, my suggestion is to simply purchase a loom either from Linksys direct or from one of the many Linksys distributors in Australia unless you get a kick out of making looms :)

The looms for the Atom are available in 400mm, 2.5m and 5.0m lengths

Regards
Greg


Boozo - July 20th, 2014 at 08:58 PM

Just went looking online for looms, cant find much info, let alone a price. why does it not come with the loom? even if it is a mess, it would be usefull for plugs and rewire.


Boozo - July 20th, 2014 at 09:09 PM

http://www.nzefi.com/product/link-g4-wiring-loom-a-2-5-metre/ 


only one I could find, and it isnt compatible with early G4 atoms.


basically i'm keen on this setup....but dont want to be left hanging without a loom, or forking out hundreds and hundreds of bucks to find or make one.


Lateral - July 20th, 2014 at 09:49 PM

Hi mate

I am sure that the looms are available and I'll get some pricing etc tomorrow and let you know.

Regards
Greg


Boozo - July 20th, 2014 at 09:59 PM

cheers.


Lateral - July 21st, 2014 at 07:20 AM

Hi Boozo,

Here is the link to the documentation for the Atom G4 that includes the wiring loom pin out etc.

http://www.linkecu.com/support/documentation/g4-engine-management-documentati...

I'll hopefully find out today regarding the pre-made wiring looms.

Regards
Greg


Lateral - July 21st, 2014 at 07:49 AM

Hi Boozo,

I just went out to pull out all of the hardware and found the wiring loom! I forgot that I cut it off when removing everything 1(see attached photo).

All that's required is to extend the wires that are needed and you're good to go.

Let me know how you want to proceed.

Regards
Greg
