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.

Shane:

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...

    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 馃槑 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
    • 'sif the error will be that low!
