Ok gurus, need assistance!!! and thank you in advance :D

So i just bought a standard cheap second hand turbo timer and i have a basic alarm w/ immobiliser installed in my car...

so the question is can i still install this turbo timer without screwing up the alarm and will both still work as the should... cause im guessing the engine gets immobilised as soon as u activate the alarm...? Ergo how do you keep the turbo timer running engine and delay the immobilisation lol... if that makes sense... without upgrading the alarm system :D someone said something about a relay before but i have no knowledge in that area.

cheers again

Alex

Hey guys, its a mongoose m20s :) basic alarm and imobiliser

as far as i noe all the mongoose ones wont have a problem with a turbo timer as i have one with it. But the way I check is to simulate a turbo timer running, for example sit in ur car have it running the press the button on ur control to lock the doors and now switch off the car and wait to see if the immobliser engages if it does and doors are still locked then turbo timer wont cause a problem

I have a question:- Isn't a turbo timer an invitaion to thieves? I.e. (hot) Ignition wires easily available (no key needed) to anybody interested in having a fiddle, or maybe more???? btw It is a fair-dinkum question.

no go. if it was a 60 or 80 series it would not be a problem. sit with the car for 30 sec or so. it will save the car from becoming spare parts.

not so. viper alarms will arm with the key on. (antihijack function) mongoose wont arm at all, autowatch will if the timer option is enabled and the timer relay installed.

VERY true. last car I had here I proved a point on. I had a bit of 10 awg wire so I shorted the wiring on the timer and clutch started the car, drove off with the customer watching in disgust.. the car had a basic remote start alarm on it.

yeah but u should consider that on average a turbo timer will stay on for 30sec and buy the time u get out close the door lock it and walk away far enough the car turbo timer would have shut off and the alarms immobiliser would have engaged.

so unless running it for long periods of times should be safe

    • OK, so all I can suggest is that - if you have all the parts, and you have all the wiring looms, and you have all the electronic modules, then....it really is just a wiring problem. You likely have a damaged wire, pin, etc, somewhere.
    • Yup, bought this bad boy and hopefully it will be ready to pickup today. Had $5 credit on top of it so it worked out really well!
    • Yeah it is really until until you get a feel for it....then it is easy. Which is no use to you really. I'd buy that torque wrench. One thing from sure, many (most?) tyre shots overtighten the f**k out of wheel nuts, so don't worry if they were tighter when you tried to take them off compared to when you do them up. I've had some crazy tight ones come back from shops, quite apart from the potential damage to the thread, I can't see a smaller person taking the wheel off on the side of the road
    • Hey mate, thread dredging hahah To answer you directly, yes I had my itbs oversized and custom butterflies etc made by EFI Hardware in Sydney back around 2017-2018 if memory serves. My setup had a vast amount of other changes too though, so no direct comparisons unfortunately. i went from oem itbs, HPI manifold and internal gate hks 2835 pro S; to 49mm itbs, cnc port matched Nismo plenum, RB25 Neo lower runner adapter hand port matched, r31house v2 Takoashi MAX equal length twin scroll manifold with twin 38mm tial gates and a FP HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll real hosing. feom power Fc to a link fury wired by 12volt, r32 gtr fuel tank conversion with frenchys twin 460 / surge tabk fuel hanger combo kit, 1659cc injectors, full 4 inch turbo back stainless exhaust, Z34 6 speed, Tomei 2way with 4.3 final drive and a ton of other shit. ive posted elsewhere here with complete run down, but here's a graph from its initial tune with no boost control on, 20psi gate springs only and e85.   7542AE72-DA92-4E0B-8660-B0940FEA7F24.mov
