Turbo Timer Disconnection

[stig mick]

Trying to put my car back to 100% stock.(kinda got the itch from that show wheeler dealers)

Can I just unplug my turbo timer or are the a whole bunch of wires I'll need to reconnect?

should be ok to just unplug, think it only splices into the ignition system and bypasses part of it for a designated time, so if you unplug it, it should still work as normal. Isnt it easy enough to just unplg it and try it out?

Not really it seems quite messy under the steering wheel I'll have to tale the interior panel out tommorrow and see if it just unplugs

hopefully it will be fine

Cheers

PS if it works anyone want a FET turbo timer with R32 harness for 50-60 bucks

Oh I see, My Greddy is easily unplugable without taking anything off lol. Mine was just a generic harnesss spliced into the wiring with a plug in between the wiring and the turbo timer lol

I hope thats all this one is too

I always cool the car down 2 mins before I get to my destination and I never drive with it on I case I have an accident and the fuel pump stays on

Hi guys, I am thinking of installing a racecar-style ignition on/off switch and am thinking that using a turbo timer harness may be the way to go.

Do turbo timer harnesses hook into both the 'on' and the 'start' circuits?

Thanks, Ben

Theres no need for them to hook into the start wire because they only need to keep the car running when key is off. Should hook into ACC, ON and constant power.

What exactally do you want to do? have the normal key to turn everything in the car on then having a race style switch to start?

Thanks, I gathered the same with the start wire. I want to have one click switch to turn the car to on and a push button for start. I don't think I need an acc switch if I go straight to on. I don't want to use my key at all but would probably want to wire is so rant I could still use the key if I wanted to.

That's gonna make your car quite easy to steal

And therefore if it was stolen and recovered insurance would refuse payout

yeah, this

It would have to retain a key to turn on the electrics and push button to start only when the key is in. The only way I could see it being safe

Aside from security concerns; I was hoping that a turbo timer harness would give me a great starting point for the project but it looks like I'll need to start at the start!
