hi all,

i installed my hks tt type 1 on the weekend.

at the moment i have a mongoose alarm,

now my problem is:

that when the timer is idling the car, i have to lock the doors manually and if someone tries to break in the alarm wont go off.

does anyone know how to trick the alarm to think that the engine is off so i can arm the alarm whilst the timer is still running?

thanks

kuro

You need to add a normally closed relay which is triggered when the turbo timer starts.

It should open the ignition sense circuit of the alarm.

So... when you switch the car on, the alarm can sense the ignition.

When you switch the car off, the turbo timer kicks in and opens the ignition sense circuit.

The alarm thinks the car is off but the timer is still running.

You can now arm your alarm with the engine running on turbo timer...

Is this an easy job for any Auto Elec, I know I certainly have no idea how to do it? I have a similar problem to kuro, with a HKS TT & Black Widow alarm, its a pain having to wait around till the timer turns off.

Yep... easy as. I did mine all myself and I am not a sparky... Mine is a HKS TT too so it can definitely be done.

This is how I had it explained to me...

the alarm senses ignition voltage to decide if it can arm.

the turbo timer supplies voltage to the ignition lead.

thus the alarm can't be armed with the timer activated.

install a normally closed relay in the alarm's voltage sense lead.

the relay is switched by the turbo timer's ignition lead.

when the timer comes on and supplies voltage to the ignition, the relay is opened.

the alarm ignition sense lead is isolated from the ignition lead.

thus the alarm is fooled into thinking the car is not running.

It is really simple. You need a normally closed or changeover relay. You will have a ignition sense wire going to your alarm. Cut it in half and connect it to pins 30 and 87 (or whichever pin is normally closed).

Your HKS TT will have a green and yellow wire coming out which usually join together at the 4-3pin adaptor.

Seperate the Yellow wire from the Green wire and join it to pin 86.

Pin 85 goes to ground..

Your mileage may differ... Specifications subject to change without notice...

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
