The Link G4X MazdaLink MX5NB ECU is a plug-in standalone ECU designed specifically for the Mazda MX-5 NB Pre-Facelift (1998–2000) with the non-VVT 1.8L engine and 3-plug ECU. It fits inside the OEM ECU enclosure and connects directly to the factory wiring harness — no modifications needed.
Built for manual transmission cars, this ECU delivers powerful tuning capabilities while maintaining support for most OEM functions. Whether you're building a reliable street car or a dedicated motorsport machine, the G4X gives you complete control over fuel, ignition, boost, and more.
Note: This ECU supports only manual transmissions. Please confirm that your ECU connector matches the product photo before purchase.
CAN Connector Update:
This ECU includes a new 4-pin powered CAN connector and is not compatible with the older CANPCB cable. For CAN devices, use the CANJST4 (Part No. 101-0198) cable. This port also supplies 12V power and ground, protected by a 3A self-resetting fuse.
