hey guys

i was reading about this "intelligent turbo timer" and think it's kewl.

i wanna buy and install it into the ride but i'm not a "professional".

Has anyone bought one and installed it himself? How difficult is it?

Hey Rob,

The timer should be easy to do. Buy the kit from Jaycar, because they import these along with heaps of other cool car kits. They've got a booklet for $20 which gives info and build/install instructions which is a very informative read anyway.

From memory the intelligent turbo timer was about $40 last time i saw.

If you do go to Jaycar, check out the other kits if you want to get into building stuff. You don't really need experience.

I bought an electronic boost controller which is absolutely kickass. I think it cost me $130 or so for the boost controller and the hand control unit. This was one of the first things I ever soldered. Works wonders! Way better than a pneumatic one for the same price!

Good luck with it!

My Greddy Auto turbo timer does it, i got it for $120 from BT-revelotion, dilvered,

I got it instal at an Audio guy, he sux ass, but cheap, he didnt hook up the speed wire, soo it does not allow the auto timing function.

I got it hook up my self. very simple really,

and now it works,

depends on how hard i drive, it let the engine run longer,

it have heaps other ufnction as well, but hard use them,

got a stupid question but hell, i heard that turbo timers are illegal in VIC-is it true?

[lexbomb]

they are illegal every were i think. Ive got the apex'i pencil one and that one will cut out when the handbrake drops so it a lil safer

They are only illegal if they are functioning. So if you are able to quickly turn the turbo timer off via the menu when cops pull you over you should be fine.

Has anyone been able 2 integrate this jaycar turbo timer with an alarm?? I know there are threads on this topic regarding a 30A relay, i don't quite understand how this works with a 2-point cut alarm system? The jaycar kit has outputs/inputs for alarm integration but they are a bit vague with the instructions with the manual and in the 'Performance tuning for cars'. Also, will this leave my car vulnerable whilst the engine is still running because this kit doesn't have a handbrake cutout.
