Can somebody tell me about turbo timers - how they work and how to choose one, etc.

I'm looking at an ad that has a Pivot super baby for $120, and others varying up to a Blitz at $325 - doesn't make sense to me. Why do you need to spend another $200 just to have something to switch off your engine?

I have a HKS Type 1

Type 1 Timer Functions

All the features of the Type 0

Speed / Speed peak hold / Speed warning display

Engine RPM / RPM peak hold display

Engine RPM warning function, 2 different adjustable points (shift up indicator and red zone indicator)

Quarter mile time:

Accleration measurement: 0-100m, 0-200m, 0-400m

Section time: 200-400m

Speed attain time: 0-100km/h, 0-150km/h, 0-200km/h

Accleration time: 50-100km/s, 100-150km/h

Auto start for quarter mile, manual start function

Stopwatch time measurement and lap time measurement

Battery voltage display / warning

Large liquid crystal panel 40x9, blue LED backlight, red lamp ON or flashes when timer / functions are working

Simplified operation

pretty funky if u ask me :) I paid $260 for mine

Yeah I wasnt sure if they used it either... but I was ridding with a guy that is the general manager of the local Subbie lot and I was telling him of my plans. When I said turbo timer he was like... you dont need it ... these have recirculators. I even checked to see if he had one as well. Perhaps when you get a larger turbo and all that mess one would be better but you can save the 100-US bucks or so.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
