Hey guys,

Went about installing my Greddy turbo timer into my car which I bought equipped with a M80 Mongoose alarm.

Turbo timer shuts off when the ignition is turned off, which is understandable as the M80 has the turbo timer function set to off as default.

I went about turning the ignition on/off the required number of times with the drivers door open, to access the alarms contols, and after I did the right amount of on/offs, nothing happened (indicators ment to flash etc).

I tried to do the same again and turn the beeps on/off without any avail.

Thinking of taking to a local dealer who has done some other audio work on the car. Just thought I'd see if anyone else had a similar issue.

Every other function works with the car.

there is a 5 sec time window to get into program mode. turn EVERYTHING in the car OFF before you start programming it. then start the routine. turn the key quickly when doing it and at the end you will get chirps & flashes, in the last one press button one.

if the timer is connected UNPLUG IT.

this will allow the alarm to arm with the timer you have in the car - IT DOES NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF IT! :(

once you get it set up plug the timer back in start the car wait a few minutes then turn the key off, timer counts down - press and hold button 1. you will get a chirp . opening the car with the key will set the alarm off and shut the car down.

if you get that result it works :D

Hey guys, just wondering - my car came with a mongoose alarm, but i'm not sure what model it is. It's got a 2 button remote. I want to find out if i can get the instruction manual for it, coz i want to install a turbo timer... any ideas how i can identify it?

The problem is that when you start the programming sequence you basically have a window of only 15 seconds to turn the ignition on and off the number of times for the feature, and for features down the list like the turbo timer function which is number 13 means you have to turn the ignition on and off 13 times in 15 secs of opening the door. So it has to be quick. If your turbo timer is on then it obviously holds the ignition on, preventing the programming working properly.

This is especially so with the Greddy Timers as even when they are set to the off position they actually stay on for .5 of a second after the ignition is switched off, hence this adds .5 of a second to each time you turn the ignition on and off. You dont necessarily have to disconnect the timer but just do the programming fast :) or to make it easier you can disconnect the timer till its programmed correct :mage:

    • I guess the main advantage is that they start out hard and incompressible, so you can throw them away immediately, rather than waiting until they've done 50k km or something?
    • Has anyone used the billet half-moons that are available to replace the rubber ones at the back of RB cam covers ?  Going to change out my cam cover seals as they are weeping oil and its now driving me nuts. Any advantage to be found ?
    • My muffler was fully customised to suit the car. He mailed me the end caps, I marked up the pipe locations (4 pipes in a single muffler) and he sent it back all welded. Certainly more expensive than a mass produced generic size, but that's hardly surprising. My R32 Exhaust has a Magnaflow muffler in it, if I need generic mufflers then they're usually a safe bet. I've got the Vibrant clamps on the intercooler pipes, just because they're nicer to use than the bolt together ones and not as expensive as a real Wiggins clamp.
    • Yeah. Nah. A grain of sand will take out a ceramic turbine that is doing 100000rpm.
    • Yes, it was checked with the roller rockers installed using a LS7 lifter that had been converted to a solid lifter with a dummy spring at 0 lash with a stock length pushrod. With the Johnson lifters longer pushrods were needed which are now 7.700" and 110 wall. Long thiccbois. People much more knowledgeable than I am are doing the measuring!
