mine has the conversion loom

its about $45 and probably worth it, i can unplug and remove the turbo timer and only have to cut 2 wires

Yeah mine does to i think, theres a bit of a story behind all this crap. I got an alarm fitted to my car that was supposed to have a turbo timer function built into the alarm so when i got it fitted i asked the auto elec to pull out the turbo timer. Well the alarm turbo timer has never worked and the alarm has turned out to be a big dud with lots of issues. Anyway when he pulled it out i dont now what hes done with the wiring, wether hes just cut it out or unlugged it. Ive no idea where the wires go and i dont want to take it back to him cause i found out when i pulled the dash apart today that the alarm was dodjily installed which is probably the reason why it doesnt work the way it should.

See in the first pic (left one), left hand side of the picture, there are the two plugs, one male and one female, joined together with short bits of white green blue and red wire, also has that black sheathed bit coming out of it. That's the turbo timers ignition harness.

To install it, pull the dash apart so you can see the key barrel wiring, you will see a plug where the stagea's wiring loom plugs into the key barrel. It will look the same as one of the plugs on the turbo timer ignition harness, unplug it and put the turbo timer harness in-between the stagea's loom and key barrel.

I'd also say one of those black wires if not both will be a ground, so you'll have to ground it/them to the chasis somewhere. You'll have to check that on a wiring diagram though.

Thanks josh

Id say you are right about the black wires being earth/ground wires cause they are the only wires black wires coming out of the unit itself and at the first plug junction it goes from one black wire on the unit side to 2 black wires. And everything electrical has to have earth.

I had a funny feeling that was an ignition harness but had no idea where it went, thanks

Im still not sure about a few other wires though, on the harness theres a white wire with a plug on the end of it. Ive put a yellow circle around it in the pic so you know which one im talking about.

Also in the harness there is two wires that have been spliced into the red wire shown in pic with orange circle and there one wire spliced into the blue wire shown with the blue circle.

Theres also a plug that comes out of the unit shown in the red circle which has 3 wires of white, orange, and a pinky/purple colour.

Thanks

I have a harness that looks identical to that one on my car (was on it when it came over from japan) I've since cut it up and spliced my apexi pen timer into it. That white wire circled in red, I have it too, i tested it and it seamed to be a cranking signal, don't know what for but it isn't needed for the turbo timer.

The white wire circled in blue, looks like it's spliced into the accessory wire (from memory blue is the accessory on wire, green is ignition on) maybe it was for a aftermarket cd player.

The red wire will be a constant 12v positive, so the wires spliced into it circled in orange will be the same, again perhaps for an aftermarket cd player, etc

I'm not familiar with this turbo timer so I don't know what the plug circled in red is for sorry.

Isnt there supposed to be a wire that goes to your handbrake? cause when i had it installed as soon as the handbrake was depressed the cut would turn off. Or is that in the harness?

I guess ill just plug it in and wire those to ground earth wires and see how i go.

aahh, thats right. i forgot about the handbrake wire. probably because i never use it, i've always just grounded it out with the timers ground wire so it thinks the handbrake is on.

another thing you'll have to check is if your alarm will work with the turbo timer. if not when you arm the alarm it will immobilise the engine making the turbo timer kinda pointless (im assuming its an alarm/immobiliser). my alarm had a turbo timer function i had to enable so the alarm knew to wait for the engine to be shut off before immobilising.

All sorted mate just pluged it it and away it worked, also found that other 3 pin plug under the dash and pluged that in to. it had the purple wire going to the hand brake. I cant believe that the dickheads that pulled it out were going to charge my $100 to re-install it. It was like a 5 min job.

And yes my alarm has a turbo timer function in it. Im taking my car into a alarm joint today to try and get it sorted out.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
