turbo timer


Recommended Posts

after driven hard between 2-5 mins or even more

my turbo timer is one of the newer Greddy Timers

so like many other timers it calculates a countdown time according to the rev's cycles or sum shit like that

the harder the revs cycle the longer the countdown time

or sum shit

Andrew,

My personal opinion are that they are a waste of time, unless you have driven around a track then I don't think that there is any need, and if you drive it hard then just let the engine idle for a few minutes before switching it off. I know lots of high-horsepower cars that don't use them, just another unwanted bit of rice.

See'ya:burnout:

Well they ARE convenient if you need to get out of the car in a hurry but you dont want to turn the car off. So in that sense theyre good, i generally idle my car down out in the car park across the road because the neighbours go spastic at me for doing it in the car port. So my HKS timer rarely gets used. But it came with the car, so i no complain.

I wouldnt call them unwanted rice, but more a convenience like, power windows, adjustable seats, power mirrors, a cd player etc.. Shall i go on? :)

I made my own turbo timer from a Jaycar kit, cost me $35 all up, it's completely concealed. NO ugly switches/boxes and no rice... just the way I like it....

They're convenient ? yes. Rice? "each to thier own"

I don't like the look of them. Mine is hidden under the steering column WAY outta reach.

joe why buy one?

i have two suggestions!

1) tape record yourself making the pShhht noise or wateva custom BOV noise you want then play it through ur stereo with the speakers on full volume and your windows down!

2) Drive with your windows down and make the psssht noise with ur mouth as you drive past people!

there you go home made blow off valves for N/A

hehehee

oh well revert to option 1

but you may need a remote to conitnously play the blow off noise through your stereo!

otherwise you'll have to keep reaching over to pause and play then rewind pause and play !

:D

option 3 GET A TURBO CAR hehehehe

    • 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.
