Greddy Turbo Timer

[G-reddy]

there's an apexi unit in the car atm, so no troubles with the main harness and plugging that in as its a direct replacement..

just cant find the two wires i need to splice onto from the handbrake..

can someone tell me how to get to these two wires and what they look like ?

any help is appreciated, cheers

it would depend on what model turbo timer is, probably find manuals for it on the greddy site.

also hooking up t/t to ur handbrake doesnt really do anything

[G-reddy]

yeah theres an english manual on the net, and it just says splice these two wires to two wires coming from the handbrake?

i'm just having trouble finding these two specific wires from the handbrake, thus the help needed.

[Ehgriez]

I can't see how having it hooked to the handbrake would help any.

[G-reddy]

me either but thats what the manual says, so thats what i'm doing.

Would it be the wire for the park brake light on the dash? Cos I don't think there is any other wire for hand brake there. Find the wire running from hand brake to dash-light

If you do not connect these wires to the handbrake then turbo timer will not turn the engine off if the handbrake is disengage thus if some1 breaks into your car while the car is running by the turbo timer they can still drive the car(although the steering lock would engage)

[Ehgriez]

Who doesn't put their handbrake up when you park?

if the turbo timer is set up with the alarm this step can be skipped

some alarm will automatically turn off the turbo timer if someone puts their foot on the acclerator or any other pedals for that matter.

But either way the steer lock will engage like it was mentioned above.

so i hooked it all up, aside from the park brake wire because i still cant find it, will try in daylight 2moro.

question for anyone using these, does yours beep every second it counts down? at the moment mine is, and inbetween displaying every second of the countdown, it shows [ S i D ] is this all just because its not recognising the brake as being applied and a warning?

[Ehgriez]

I have a G-Reddy Turbo Timer. I've never heard it make a noise. Nor have I seen it display [siD] but then again we might have different models.

[br3ndan]

Same.. i have a greddy turbo timer... no SiD here..

Sound can be turned off... show me a pic of your turbo timer and ill let you know if its the same as mine... As i have the manual for my turbo timer..

LOL

[sID] flashing Is ur turbo timer telling you that you've turned ur car off but left ur handbrake in the *OFF* position, when u pull it up it should stop beeping/flashing-if not you've wired it wrong.

He hasn't exactly wired it wrong, just not at all!

[Ehgriez]

lawl. Indeed.

[G-reddy]

yeah thats what i was thinking, haha might splice that brake wire in afterall..

so the question still stands, where will i find this wire? do i have to pull the center facia out?

[UK-Rushy]

if u want an easy solution u could jus ground the handbrake wire? instead of fartin around lookin for the handbrake wire. then the turbo timer will turn off even wen u dnt hav ur handrake on
