Hi all,

I have just wired up the GReddy turbo timer. I have got power, I can scoll thru all the programs, play with all the settings but i can't get the car to stay on once I turn the ign off. The power to the unit turns off once the ign is off. There was a workin Apexi turbo timer in the car, I have used the same plug but b4 i plugged it all in i checked that the wires corresponded to the right wires on the new timer.

I have wired up the handbrake switch but not the speed censor could that be the problem?

I don't know if it is a wiring problem or if I am stupid and i can't work out how to programe it.

Thanks any help much appreciated.

It is quite a strange problem as (from memory) there should only be four wires needed to get the timer to work. Could have something to do with the handbrake wire you connected.

The speed censor wouldn't affect that.

Sorry I couldn't be more of a help but what I can tell you is, I installed my timer myself and haven't yet connected the handbrake or the speed wire cables and it works fine.

What I am puzzled about is how come I don't have any settings? All I can do with my timer is change the time it takes to shut the car off.

Cheers mate,

I disconnected the handbrake switch but still no joy, I am going to take it to autobarn to see if they can work it out.

Thanks for your help though much appreciated

Hey, sorry I couldn't help you out. Sometimes wiring could get tricky especially when picking up where someone else left off.

Hey me have the exact same turbo timer and the same problem has anyone found out what it is?

Please help I have spent so many frustrated hours trying to work it out

mine was working well for 12 months then I got a flat battery as I left my headlights on and now

a new battery later and it won't work no more I can go through all the settings and seems to be working

but as soon as you turn the ignition off the engine turns off instead of turning off when the countdown is

finished

Please help with this otherwise the only thing i can do is take it to autobarn which is a fair distance for me

about a 2 hour drive.

Silly question, but doesn't the unit need a +12v supply, not a IGN switched +12v?

... I should rem, wacked one of these in 3yr ago. Lemme check the interwebs

EDIT:

Are you sure you fed the unit both a constant +12v and a ACC +12v?

The ACC being of course, one thats live only when key is turned to ACC :whistling:

I really do have to pull mine out, junki's stress me out.

Good luck

Hey, I completely forgot about this thread. I found the problem, it wasn't my wiring it was the turbo timer it self. My wife bought me the exact same timer for my b'day I plugged it in and it worked straight away. Somethung to do with the internals.

Cheers

I took mine out to autobarn today and the bloke said it was stuffed then he found the reset switch

and he pressed it and he got it going he tried it twice for me while I was there and it worked perfectly

so when I got home I went to turn the car off and it wont work the engine just turned straight off,

sounds as though I might just have to get a new one.

    • Time for millspec wiring, MoTec electronics package, Bosch Motorsport ABS, let's goooooooo!!!   Maybe as @MBS206 suggested, just swap out those stupid blue relays near the ECU plug.  
    • My only regret with the NC MX5 was no space for a spare, even a space saver doesn't fit in I do have a couple of those puncture repair spray cans, but if I get a large puncture, or sidewall damage, I'm screwed until a tilt tray turns up I'm thinking I might get one of those 4WD style of puncture repair kits that have that rope stuff and glue, whilst it will kill any hope of saving a tyre, it might help getting me out from some backwoods road far enough to find a actual tyre shop if the first can of tyre fix doesn't work I'm keen to see how your new toy pans out Uncle Duncan, I'll be moving to the Highlands next year, you'll need to shout out if your heading to Wakefield, whilst I've lost my balls for happy laps, I still love watching those that can
    • Yeah not sure what the warranty was, but it will be years outside it.  I've shot Link a message, will see what happens, I'm told their support is good. It is a plug in, so its a Link board in a factory case, very easy to access both sides of the circuit board by removing the top or bottom cover. To be fair the the Link, although I've checked to the factory connections and wiring specs, as we learned with Neil's car in the early days not all ECUs source power the same way. He'd been running a factory ECU with no trouble for years, but when we plugged a PowerFC in it wouldn't start up, just kept cycling power on and off. We worked out that the car was missing one of the 10a fuses "Electronic Parts", and to Neil's knowledge it had never been there. Turns out the ECU pulled its main power from that source not the same place the factory ECU did.  Point being....there are multiple battery and ECCS power sources in the factory ECU, and multiple grounds as well....not telling from the outside exactly what the Link uses (and doesn't use)
    • Now, thanks to sonicii, onto the uneven floor from a tyre sticking 100mm into the boot space. I looked into options to raise the floor to the level of the tyre, and ended up going Extruded Polystyrene (XPS). EPS is what I normally think of as polystyrene, the annoying tiny balls that get glued into a flat sheet but XPS is quite different, much firmer and doesn't crumble if you touch it with anything. I also looked at things like heavy duty seating foam but XPS seemed like the right way. I picked up 3x 1200x600x50 sheets for $40ea. Initially I was looking for 100mm sheets because I needed to make up a 100mm gap, but as it turned out 50mm was available, much easier to work with and made it simple to store the tools I used a simple 15cm foam cutter to make the shapes. With some practice I was able to make reasonably clean cuts but I don't think Clark Rubber are going to be calling me to offer a job. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/405092315205?var=675175481574 First layer in place, 3 dimensions are tricky! Second layer in place, bringing it to level with the top of the spare Cutouts in the top layer for the tools With floor back in place, nice and flat with 100mm stolen but no real impact on usability
    • Sounds like a good idea to me moh
