Turbo Timer

[Airzone]

Hey guys,

Anyone know where I can get a turbo timer in Sydney (Eastern suburbs prefferably) and for how much?

Also, how well do they attach themselves to alarm systems? It'd look a little silly having the alarm go off after the alarm is armed 'cause the engine is still running...

well that sometimes happens to me ... u can't help that ... unless u get an alarm and turbo timer in one unit ... otherwise i just put up with it .. sometimes it goes off sometimes it doesn't ... most of the time it doesn't ... just depends how sensitive the shock sensor is i guess ...

my timer and alarm are both seperate units wired into the one circuit, i havent had one false alarm yet...It can be done, just shop around... people were tellin me all sorts of shit when i was lookin for mine...

My instruction manual says something about turbo timer mode - it'll allow an external turbo timer to keep the engine running for a little bit... But I suppose I need to find the alarm control unit and find out.

Who sells the turbo timers, and what brands are what?

I have QuickTrack on my skyline and a turbo timer. I ended up just getting them to install them together. The QuickTrack wasnt worth me stuffing up installing the timer myself. All i know is as you said some alarms have a way of installations for turbo timers.

Im in the eastern Suburbs of sydney (not to many tough skylines around here) and the onle place that you could get one is this little Asian car parts place just off the big kingsford round about next to the shell. Other than that most import wreckers like unique autosports or Just jap or something have them. They arent close. I think you can buy over the net and have them delivered though.

Why do you need a turbo timer?

Can't you spare 1 minute to stay with the car while the turbo cools down? Or you can't afford the time to slow up and stay off-boost for 1k before you reach your destination?

THat would involve being off boost. Silly boy, everyone knows you should never be on vacuum!!!!!!!!

I got one, but really like blind said just dont boost a k or two from home.
