Link G4 and RPC cable compatibility

Post by WhiteAfrikanz »

Hey guys I am looking to purchase RCP for my RB25 S13 that I am running Link G4 on. The cable from the ECU has a connector I am not familar with but goes to a USB, I am wondering the best way to connect to RCP. I am thinking a USB to RJ45 adapter then a male/male rj45 cable into the RCP. If anyone else has connected to LINKG4 please chime in. Thanks!

Ive attached a picture of the tuning cable that attaches to the female pigtail that is attached to the ECU.

Hi,

I don't know about that cable from Link, sorry. However, we do know the connection from the Link is via CAN bus; I would recommend checking their documentation where the CAN bus connections are and then you can connect those to the equivalent CAN High and CAN low of RaceCapture.

Relevant information / guides:

Hey Brent,

Thank you for your Help!

So I got this pinout and I know which pins are CAN

I can get a connector that attaches to the ecu and has flying leads. Would I be best off using that and wiring it into an RJ45 pigtail with corresponding flying leads?

Great! Yes, I would use that cable and splice it with a standard RJ45 ethernet cable as we suggest in our wiki.
