Hi all, I am after a new turbo timer and was wondering if theres a good one to go for. I have had a bit of a search and found this one to do the job and it the cheapest I could find

http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/18

Is it worth spending a bit more for more features?, I don't know where I would put one of those TT units if I got one so I like the long thin ones coz thats what I have at the mo

cheers

Tom

yeah, I wouldn't need anything like that, just a normal TT that keeps the engine running for programmable times....I guess the cheaper the better for me so can I get a new TT for less than the $85 for the Apexi one I linked?

EDIT: actually it comes to $130 with shipping from Japan

hahaha... i can understand how u feel on 2nd hand parts, ESP electronics. Personally, i wouldn't go that way either, unless i'm really hard up for it and it's wayy out of my budget. And try not to buy off ebay either, some dude got a reconditioned one, that sold as new, cause when the workshop opend up the apexi turbotimer, there were burnt marks and resoldering.

no offence to RR, but I'd rather buy new than secondhand

thanks anyway though  :O

Tom check if that's compatible with your car. I bought this a while ago from Nengun, sitting in a drawer & hasn't been installed. I just sit in my car for a bit, basically because you only need these when you are putting pressure on the turbo a fair bit, and letting the car idle for about 2 minutes isn't all that hard to do. Different case with 2 turbos I guess. :O

It costs $101 delivered to you in like 2-3 weeks from Nengun, $100 from me pretty much straight away, because you are just over in Beldon if you want it? It's new, in box, I opened it to have a look & that but didn't do jack shit with it.

Not talking about your penis are you? :lol:

lol :) , with that extracted from the sentence it would appear so. But no :D

ossie_21, how the hell does the shipping for that come to less than the Apexi onw which is smaller? :D and yeah, its compatible with my car

what the optional harness there?

The other thing is installing it, because I will need to tie it in with my alarm. I guess one option is taking it back to Action Alarms and get them to install it coz they tied my current TT in with the alarm when they installed it...

This timer looks bigger than it is (not another penis joke please :D ), it isn't all that big. I'm sure the same people that did your other one could do whatever you decide to get.

My turbotimer is installed with a bypass.. or rather my alarm Laserline top of the range has a bypass to allow me to lock the car while the engine is still running on the turbotimer and it'll automatically immobilise after the turbotimer dies. Which is pretty good i feel.

Thats what my Cheetah 777 alarm does, so maybe its best I take my new TT to the place that did my alarm....

sorry BNR34 I wants new :(

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
