Apexi Turbo Timers

[magpies03]

eyy guys, i have a nissan skyline R33 gts-t and have recently discovered you can adjust the settings of the turbo timer. I have one of the little skinny ones with red lights however when i am driving along the light on the turbo timer is generally red and is rarly green. Is this a bad thing? what does it mean? does anyone know the settings it should be set on? some help would be appreciated!

Thanks guys

My mate has one of these in his wrx. I've never looked at it when he's been driving though. Perhaps something to do with the o2 sensor function if you've got that hooked up. Maybe the red/green light is corresponding to that? Like it might be red most of the time for rich and then turn green when it's running lean or something? I have no idea. What setting is the light next to when you're driving? Like Voltage, O2, what else do they have?

EDIT: Another theory.. if its set to manual mode perhaps the light turns form red to green when it detects you are driving the car hard, so by doing this you know how sensitive the manual cool down setting is currently set to? Just an idea anyway.

thanks for the reply man...yeh sometimes when its sitting there ideling it goes green and starts to go green when i take my foot off the accelerator so mabey its to do with air to fuel. I was just hoping i dont have it on a setting thats going to screw up my car. AS soon as a push the accelerator in it goes red again so yeh im not sure either lol

its just guessing the af ratio coming out the exhaust based on the slow and narrow oxygen sensor. ignore it, the reading is useless and will never be accurate.
