Turbo Timer?

[SLY R33]

hi,

last night i was driving home from drift prac (was watching not drifting) and then my missus pointed out that my turbo timer was slowly creaping up in the time and i was just cruising along in 5th gear at about 100km. at one stage it got to about 4mins 30secs. this is the 1st time i have seen it do it and found it very strange.

then i went to a mates house and let the car cool down, then left to drop missus home and every time i boost it the timer goes up a little bit.

does anyone know whats the problem with that?

Cheers Shane

do you have a greddy timer?

if so, you can change it to P-1 or P-2 mode, and set it to whatever time you want to set it to.

Ideally i just set it for 10 seconds on normal street use

and keep it at 7-10 mins when on the track

yea its the greddy timer, because i usually boost it as most do, i have never seen the time creep up before till last night.

i got it set on 30secs for normal driving

shouldnt it be at least a min? how do you know how long it should be set for???

you need to hold the power, and the second button from the left together (i think) - until you get P-1 or P-2 showing on the screen - then set it for the desired time. If its on P-1 or P-2 it wont go past the set time (say 30 seconds).

I put it at 10 seconds, cos usually in the last 5 mins before i get to my destination i make sure i granny the car in

iv got mine set for 1min 20, is that too long? does it depend on what size or type turbo you have fitted? turbo's with a coolant line feed etc.

[eMsta]

not sure man - but i think what most people do is they drive without hitting boost for the last few minutes before destination and that i hear is more than enough.....

it depends on the person.

I used to have mine for 1 minute before, but that i feel is not realy needed.

If you drive the car normally then even if you have a turbo timer you dont need to use it...

Its only when you boost the car is when you need to cool down the turbo. Howwever most poeple (Me included) feel more comfortable using the turbo timer. In which case after normal driving 30 seconds is fine. 1 min and 20 seconds is far to long if you just been putting around. Shouldnt matter what turbo you are using...

And i think your Greddy turbo timer is moving up cause it has a setting which enables the turbo timer to determine how long your car should be cooled down depending on your REVS. My greddy does the same thing. But as was mentioned before putting it on P-1 or P-2 can let you set the amount of time.

I usually have P-1 set at 2 mins and P-2 set at 30 seconds. So depending on my driving ill choose between the two.

Hope this helps you out =)

thanks guys,

will have a look at this P-1 and P-2 because i have never fiddled around with the timer just to set the time on it.

Greddy timers are awesome til they burn out and melt the casing. i've lost two in less than eighteen months. they were wired in by autobarn so it's not my wiring mistakes...

That creeping is the auto timer feature in the unit.

i have it as well..

When your car is doing higher revs or there is a big load on the motor the time goes up. it judges it by the rpm.

I think this feature is better than setting it yourself.

mines set to min 20 seconds and will creep if i use the freeway or keep it at high revs the numbers go up.

GOOGLE FOR THE MANUAL OR ASK SOMEONE ON HERE!!! there is so many other features on that turbo timer.

V guage, A/F n some others i think
