There are alot of alarms that would happily support a turbo timer, if you already have an alarm then you should ask the installer for some advise.

I have been told that the most pain in the backside to be compatible with car alarms are the blitz turbo timer.. I have used a apexi TT (Turbo Timer) pen style type with a mongoose alarm (?) before and its dodgy ass... it needed a relay so that it can lock up the doors while the turbo timer happily hums away. I have a baby pivot TT with a brunt alarm and they both works happily...

Alot of people already mentioned about the legality about it, just depends on which officer that you get pulled over.

On the automatic/non automatic part.. I assume you are referring to TT that can sense how hard you have been driving the car and adjust the timer accordingly instead of ones where you set a time.. Again The apexi one you need another plug in (or whatever you call it) wouldnt get it.. the pivot one rocks.. it lets you set two normal non-auto timer (mine is set to 5 min and 10 min.. I use the 10min one to warm the car) and the auto part (I use this normally when driving).

If you have a turbo, I would recommend you to get a turbo timer, as a health thing for your turbo. :( Remember a few things....

1) make sure the handbrake part is hooked up (what this does is, if the turbo timer is counting down and handbrake is released the turbo timer shuts off, good as an anti theft)

2) if you have an alarm, make sure you ask the alarm installer on what turbo timer they would recommend that would work/compatible with your alarm

A good one is when you can lock the door while the turbo timer is running, an alarm that has a build in turbo timer or an alarm that is dual staged like the nemesis.

Just me 10c worth.. :wave:

cry cry cry,

i got slaughtered for asking dumb questions when i first came on here,

most of us have done it, who cares. if someone says its a pointless question, just build a bridge and get over it. and its been viewed 250 times because its title is 'what is this thing called, and how much', it is a very broad topic title

and anna no to snap and swear at me either!

Just because you got "slaughtered" that does not mean you have to do the same to others too, being on the receiving end you should already know what it feels like. :wave:

      FS - RB30 Turbo upgrade bolton turbo kit - 600kw

      By Predator1 · Posted

      Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.
