Hello all.

I'm not sure if this thread belongs here but I didn't know where else to put it.

I have a Magicar 8000 Remote start car alarm system on my 97 Stagea RS4.

The day I took it to Autobarn to get it installed he told me I couldn't have a turbo timer with it.

I was wondering if this is true or not I get the feeling the guy just couldn't be bothered installing my turbo timer for me. He refused to install my RSM and boost gauge.

If it truly can't be done I have an Apexi turbo timer for sale.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks guys.

Zane.

Autobarn? Take it to a proper stereo installers and see what they say. It can be done if they can be bothered. Although most alarms have a turbo timer built in. Mine is set for 20mins and I just turn it off with the remote fob whenever I want it to (It has auto-start).

(Interval can be set to any preset, I use 20mins because I can stay inside and let the Forged pistons warm up while I finishing breakfast :) )

that one has a timer on it.

you can use the one you have BUT you wont be able to arm the alarm. a bit of creative wiring can fix this issure BUT you may not be able to remote start the car.

best to use the one that is in the alarm.

He is a lazy one i must say....you can by-pass the turbo timer for this... i took mine to autobarn..i had a 2 way pager alarm remote start one..took 2 hours to install...the electrician was in doubt about the turbo timer at first..but he has managed to by-pass it.

it can be done...just take it somewhere else dude.

it can be done mate, tahts what my installer told me too... he said he had 10 yrs experience, and told me that both turbo timers and remote start cant go hand in hand. i figured a way through it. first valet the car, that means leave the car running while u take out the keys, then arm the alarm, then shut off the car with the remote start feature, once u do this, the turbo timer will take the job and shuts off accordin to the time.. hope it helps.. mine worked

p/s: u have to arm the car first b3fore using the remote to shut the engine off.. coz, once u shut off the car before arming the car, u can only arm the car once the engine stops. and also remember to disable the ignition controlled door locks, if you dont, once the turbo timer is off, the car will disarm again ..

arrgh!

have any of you guys actually put one of these alarms in?

it has the timer feature on it. I have tried in vain to get the alarm to work properly with a timer. the alarm side is fine. its the remote start that will stuff it up.

in the end I told the fellow to use the one that was in it and set it for 3 minutes this was on a 32 gtst.

normal alarms and timers do work. I've done them for the past 15 years.

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
