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

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

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
