Hi all, I am after a new turbo timer and was wondering if theres a good one to go for. I have had a bit of a search and found this one to do the job and it the cheapest I could find

http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/18

Is it worth spending a bit more for more features?, I don't know where I would put one of those TT units if I got one so I like the long thin ones coz thats what I have at the mo

cheers

Tom

yeah, I wouldn't need anything like that, just a normal TT that keeps the engine running for programmable times....I guess the cheaper the better for me so can I get a new TT for less than the $85 for the Apexi one I linked?

EDIT: actually it comes to $130 with shipping from Japan

hahaha... i can understand how u feel on 2nd hand parts, ESP electronics. Personally, i wouldn't go that way either, unless i'm really hard up for it and it's wayy out of my budget. And try not to buy off ebay either, some dude got a reconditioned one, that sold as new, cause when the workshop opend up the apexi turbotimer, there were burnt marks and resoldering.

no offence to RR, but I'd rather buy new than secondhand

thanks anyway though  :O

Tom check if that's compatible with your car. I bought this a while ago from Nengun, sitting in a drawer & hasn't been installed. I just sit in my car for a bit, basically because you only need these when you are putting pressure on the turbo a fair bit, and letting the car idle for about 2 minutes isn't all that hard to do. Different case with 2 turbos I guess. :O

It costs $101 delivered to you in like 2-3 weeks from Nengun, $100 from me pretty much straight away, because you are just over in Beldon if you want it? It's new, in box, I opened it to have a look & that but didn't do jack shit with it.

Not talking about your penis are you? :lol:

lol :) , with that extracted from the sentence it would appear so. But no :D

ossie_21, how the hell does the shipping for that come to less than the Apexi onw which is smaller? :D and yeah, its compatible with my car

what the optional harness there?

The other thing is installing it, because I will need to tie it in with my alarm. I guess one option is taking it back to Action Alarms and get them to install it coz they tied my current TT in with the alarm when they installed it...

This timer looks bigger than it is (not another penis joke please :D ), it isn't all that big. I'm sure the same people that did your other one could do whatever you decide to get.

My turbotimer is installed with a bypass.. or rather my alarm Laserline top of the range has a bypass to allow me to lock the car while the engine is still running on the turbotimer and it'll automatically immobilise after the turbotimer dies. Which is pretty good i feel.

Thats what my Cheetah 777 alarm does, so maybe its best I take my new TT to the place that did my alarm....

sorry BNR34 I wants new :(

    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
    • You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP
    • Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 馃槃 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info
    • Not the headlight. It's the DRL that serves double duty as white and amber. Would be the easiest way to make it happen, if fitting a BCM was in any way an easy thing. Otherwise you'd do it with some relay logic and/or maybe some diodes.
    • Would require a very smart body control module which these cars are about 20 years to old to have
