Hi all,

I have just wired up the GReddy turbo timer. I have got power, I can scoll thru all the programs, play with all the settings but i can't get the car to stay on once I turn the ign off. The power to the unit turns off once the ign is off. There was a workin Apexi turbo timer in the car, I have used the same plug but b4 i plugged it all in i checked that the wires corresponded to the right wires on the new timer.

I have wired up the handbrake switch but not the speed censor could that be the problem?

I don't know if it is a wiring problem or if I am stupid and i can't work out how to programe it.

Thanks any help much appreciated.

It is quite a strange problem as (from memory) there should only be four wires needed to get the timer to work. Could have something to do with the handbrake wire you connected.

The speed censor wouldn't affect that.

Sorry I couldn't be more of a help but what I can tell you is, I installed my timer myself and haven't yet connected the handbrake or the speed wire cables and it works fine.

What I am puzzled about is how come I don't have any settings? All I can do with my timer is change the time it takes to shut the car off.

Cheers mate,

I disconnected the handbrake switch but still no joy, I am going to take it to autobarn to see if they can work it out.

Thanks for your help though much appreciated

Hey, sorry I couldn't help you out. Sometimes wiring could get tricky especially when picking up where someone else left off.

Hey me have the exact same turbo timer and the same problem has anyone found out what it is?

Please help I have spent so many frustrated hours trying to work it out

mine was working well for 12 months then I got a flat battery as I left my headlights on and now

a new battery later and it won't work no more I can go through all the settings and seems to be working

but as soon as you turn the ignition off the engine turns off instead of turning off when the countdown is

finished

Please help with this otherwise the only thing i can do is take it to autobarn which is a fair distance for me

about a 2 hour drive.

Silly question, but doesn't the unit need a +12v supply, not a IGN switched +12v?

... I should rem, wacked one of these in 3yr ago. Lemme check the interwebs

EDIT:

Are you sure you fed the unit both a constant +12v and a ACC +12v?

The ACC being of course, one thats live only when key is turned to ACC :whistling:

I really do have to pull mine out, junki's stress me out.

Good luck

Hey, I completely forgot about this thread. I found the problem, it wasn't my wiring it was the turbo timer it self. My wife bought me the exact same timer for my b'day I plugged it in and it worked straight away. Somethung to do with the internals.

Cheers

I took mine out to autobarn today and the bloke said it was stuffed then he found the reset switch

and he pressed it and he got it going he tried it twice for me while I was there and it worked perfectly

so when I got home I went to turn the car off and it wont work the engine just turned straight off,

sounds as though I might just have to get a new one.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again.

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).

      Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
