Ok gurus, need assistance!!! and thank you in advance :D

So i just bought a standard cheap second hand turbo timer and i have a basic alarm w/ immobiliser installed in my car...

so the question is can i still install this turbo timer without screwing up the alarm and will both still work as the should... cause im guessing the engine gets immobilised as soon as u activate the alarm...? Ergo how do you keep the turbo timer running engine and delay the immobilisation lol... if that makes sense... without upgrading the alarm system :D someone said something about a relay before but i have no knowledge in that area.

cheers again

Alex

Hey guys, its a mongoose m20s :) basic alarm and imobiliser

as far as i noe all the mongoose ones wont have a problem with a turbo timer as i have one with it. But the way I check is to simulate a turbo timer running, for example sit in ur car have it running the press the button on ur control to lock the doors and now switch off the car and wait to see if the immobliser engages if it does and doors are still locked then turbo timer wont cause a problem

I have a question:- Isn't a turbo timer an invitaion to thieves? I.e. (hot) Ignition wires easily available (no key needed) to anybody interested in having a fiddle, or maybe more???? btw It is a fair-dinkum question.

no go. if it was a 60 or 80 series it would not be a problem. sit with the car for 30 sec or so. it will save the car from becoming spare parts.

not so. viper alarms will arm with the key on. (antihijack function) mongoose wont arm at all, autowatch will if the timer option is enabled and the timer relay installed.

VERY true. last car I had here I proved a point on. I had a bit of 10 awg wire so I shorted the wiring on the timer and clutch started the car, drove off with the customer watching in disgust.. the car had a basic remote start alarm on it.

yeah but u should consider that on average a turbo timer will stay on for 30sec and buy the time u get out close the door lock it and walk away far enough the car turbo timer would have shut off and the alarms immobiliser would have engaged.

so unless running it for long periods of times should be safe

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
