Exclamation Link G3 Switches

Hey guys, need a little bit of adivce, im very descriptive so be patient

As some of you might know with the link g3, you get 2 swtiches in your console.

- Rotational Idle
- Anti-Lag

Was driving around with a mate today, we were at the lights and his hand (accidentally i hope) hit the anti-lag switch without me aware of it.

so we started driving and the car was acting real funny until i noticed what had happend and immediately turned it off.


I bought some missile switches today (pic below) and i want to replace the old switches since the missle once are a bit bigger.


My switch only have 2 terminals instead of 6 (on-off switch)

its a simple job and i just have to remove the old connecting terminals and solder new ones (have basic electronic skills)

For each switch (on-off switch), there are two wires.

from what i have gathered, this is the following way the switches are run:


To activate rotational idle, the two wires must not be touching.

To activate anti-lag, the two wires must touch.


so due to this, and wanting both to be inactive at all times, i need to reverse one of the switches.


Is this right?


Also, i noticed that:


For roational idle switch, the leads to the switch were connected by terminals and could easily be detached.

for anti lag switch, the leads were soldered onto the switch.


Any special reason?



Any help would be appreciated.


Let me know if im not clear in any part :P

Ask Bernie, either he installed them or RMS installed them like that. As far as I know they are the only workshop in WA that has installed a Lunk G3 so far, so they are your best bet.

doest matter if you crimp or solder.
and as for which position, when you cut the the existing wires of the switches, put a multimeter on the two terminals that the wires were attached to.
99% sure both will be in an open state (not touching) until they're turned on.

I think anti lag and rotational idle are both turned on by the same switch, and it is usually an active low, i.e. your switching ground. Why you have 2 switches I'm not sure, maybe the other is for launch control? I'd say Matt is right, RMS would have installed it, so they should be able to tell you what they do.

Its the way the link g3 is made, rotational idle is turned on followed by anti lag.

where-as motec would have 1 switch for both.

will give RMS a call.


Thanks guys

Rang RMS and they couldnt remember.

He said hes pretty sure that RI is in closed state when inactive and AL is in open state when inactive.


Wasn't sure why the AL leads were soldered on tho, maybe ran out of wires :P

The way my anti lag use to work was, one switch turned anti lag on when turned off, rotational idle ran automaticly for 30 seconds after antilag was disabled. <-- autronic.
