handbrake needs to be earthed,, (negative)

acc would be ur accesories (keeps ur headunit, air con etc etc on while timer is on,,, thats my guess),, you will probably only need to connect ONE of the ign wires,, can't remember which one,, try one and if the car turns off with TT on,, then try the other one.

if you remove the covers from your steering column (behind steering wheel), you should have a 3 pin plug there (red, blue, green i think). Thats all you need + earth to hook it up

Even if you don't hook up the handbrake wire, the TT will still work (or just earth it to the same place you earth the TT ).

hope that all makes sense?

any more questions, just ask,,

Hi I have done a pic of the timer the way I have it setup out side the

car to see if it works and I can not get it to power the light when I turn the swich off ass I think it should

for how long the timer is set for all so when I turn the swich on the turbo timer powers up.

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP.

from memory,, mine didn't even have the handbrake one hooked up, and it still worked ( i used to have the same timer),,,

only thing was,, turbo timer could be on/off regardless of handbrake being up or down..

are you sure you need 12V + ?

u will have to remove the center console to see where your handbrake wires run to. (once again,, i think it should be the earth not +12V ,, but i could be wrong)

If this doesn't help you,,, there is something wrong with ya,,

lol

j/k

http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/hks_turbo...turbo_timer.htm

so looks like , if ur timer see's +12V (handbrake disengaged/down) it will turn Off,, and when it sees 0V (Handbrake engaged/up) it will turn on,, (so that would explain why my timer used to stay on regardless of handbrake being up or down,, coz the wire was never connected and always saw 0V)

c ya

    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
    • That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
