turbo timer

[FATAZZ]

what exactly is my automatic turbo timer getting its reading from,like is it saying the TURBO needs to cool down longer? or does it mean the ENGINE needs longer to cool down? or i heard its the OIL???

sorry for the dumb question.

I can answer this question, i just finished installing my hks type 1 turbo timer, which has an automatic timer on it. It actually gets the countdown from the rpm, if you read up on it, it goes up and down depending on what rpm you have it on. Say u flog it for five minutes, and then sit in traffic for 2 minutes the auto timer function may say something along the lines of 30seconds. I assume u did not install the turbo timer. and i commend u on that. it was a painful job esp when u have to splice into the ecu wires

Does it display ur speed etc??

anyways, hope this has helped.

thanx heaps, nah, my mate connected it to some wires under the dash,near the steering column, i didnt connect the other wires that read the speed and qtr mile.but would have liked too

its not that hard to connect the other wires up, just need to have pateince, and take your time doing it to make sure its done correctly. Im surprised the automatic timer function works :s ... mine didnt until i connected the rpm sensor into the ecu. I have all the wiring diagrams if you want one just ask me.

leave ur email address on here, and ill send u the pdf file

Damm TT's!

I fear even adding to thread like this for fear or retrobution from yall hardcore racers Ha!

Ma only two cents, is that most of the "auto" ones ( i think) listen for a pulse on the +12v indicating fireing of coils. Most then have a facility to fine tune. So you hold the RPM at a specific point, it listens to the noise, then it multiplies this, so it knows the rough RPM at a point in time.. without the need of a feed of another signal.

to answer your question re: what needs to cool down. the exhaust wheel of the turbo and the turbo charger components get very very hot under operation and even hotter under extreme operating, ie lots of boost constantly. the turbo timer allows the turbo to keep spinning as the exhaust is still going. this means the oil and water lines are still flowing so oil and water is flowing around the bearings and core to cool it down. if you just turn it off instantly the oil and water lines stop and the bearings stop spinning. its a bit of a if and um topic really you dont have to have one you can just take it easy for the last minute or so of the journey if you are driving hard. trucks run lots of heat dont use timers or anything so it should be ok in most normal conditions
