Turbo Timer Problems

[Stage2]

Hi peoples, just wondering if any1 out there can help me understand these problems i have.

1.) I have a greddy turbo timer and everytime when its cold usually its makes weird ticking sounds but really fast. Thats the 1st problem.

2.) Everytime i put my foot on the accelrator my turbo timer kinda resets it self, it turns off then back on again, this sometimes also happens when i am down shifting. I got it tested with a multimeter and it picked up that everytime the accelrator is pressed, my voltage drops from 12v to 9v i think if i remember right, but anyway, it should drop at all should it?

Anyone have a solution? I was thinking maybe i need a battery that puts ut more? or will that not make a difference?

Help Please!!

Thanks

Grab some new power for it, and make a better ground... I doubt its your battery, otherwise you owuld notice shit happening to other things in your car...

Throw it away. The best TT is the one between your ears.

sorry to hijack the thread, but my apexi pen turbo timer has always turned the car off when handbrake is disengaged (when keys are pulled out of ignition)

any idea why it doesn't do this anymore?

boostr32 : like its already been said find a better ground and power signal. if that doesn't work the timer has probably shit itself. there could be a dodgey connection under your drivers side dash and when you are pressing the accelarator and clutch in its pulling/bumping/disrupting the ground or 12v supply.

dmr: there is a wire on most timers that goes to your handbrake switch. theory being that if some one tries to steel your car when the timer is still running your car will shut off when they take the hand brake off. does your handbrake light come up on your dash when the hand brake is on? if it doesn't you hand brake switch is probably shagged on has lost its connections. if it does then the signal wire to the timer has lost its connection to the hand brake switch.

seems my ebrake light doesn't come up in the cluster..

i think i might have jerked it when i moved my timer to a new position in the car.

where is the connection?

just trace they wire till you find it. the switch is up under your hand brake. you'll have to take some of the center console apart to get to it

So would it be ok if i used the ground and positive from my cd player/deck? Or would you suggest to just create a new power supply from the battery for other hardware to use also? Sorry if im coming out a little stupid. Dont know much atm!!!
