Nearly finished my rebuild and i've been thinking of putting in a turbo timer, want to look after this engine and the new turbo that i have purchased!!

What do people reccomend? whats involved? where from and how much?

 

just seen one thats caught my eye, made by blitz... works out about 80quid...

 

Don't bother mate, they are just another toy that do fuck all. Just run the car out properly and drive gently the last few miles home. You can then spend the cash on something far more usefull, getting a hangover

 

i got one, apexi one, but i didnt buy it, i took it out a FRST i got as i put it back to standard to sell, other than that i wouldnt of paid for one

 

As Steve said just run the car down after use, also insurance companies despise them or may even void the insurance.

 

i dont even use mine, cos of the alarm on the car, if i get out and lock the door and go in, because of the anti hijack, when it turns off the doors unlock so i sit and wait anyway,

 

I must admit i have fitted one in mine and i haven't started using the car again but it has struck me a little along the lines of......POINT??????

The anti hijack is a bitch, im going to turn mine off but at best all i can do is lock the doors from the remote and the immobiliser will arm after turn off.

Cheaper option, would be a bit of jigery pokery, and u could use your alarms output functions as a turbo timer.........and you will be able to arm and walk away.....

 

turn it off? how do i do that? i got a toad ai606,
and also how would you set the alarm as a timer?

 

right... so by the sounds of it they are shit?

would still like to buy one if it is not messed up by my alarm, i have a cobra Cat 1 Alarm system, how would it work when i set the alarm to walk away, wouldnt the immobiliser set in??

 

I've got an AI606 aswell mate. Turning off, sorry but

Any half decent alarm won't let you arm the alarm while the ignition is on/engine is running, for obvious reasons (i think we've all seen the Argos quick fit alarms on a car driving down the road whilst the siren is going off )

Basically if you fit a turbo timer you alarm can't be fully set until the car has turned off. You can, lock the doors by remote and when it turns off the immobiliser will arm automatically, but no alarm.

 

Cheers for that mate, something to think about

 

On the other side of the coin, they look cool, matches all my other Blue illuminations

 

thats what i was thinking, matches my green


Plus good to know volts

 

They do have some useful functions. Ive got a HKS Type 1, was too cheap to say no. Does 0-60 times aswell, 2 stage RPM warning, shift light, speedo, stopwatch, voltage..........

 

[quote="safechav"]I've got an AI606 aswell mate. Turning off, sorry but



if had it mate i sure would

 

Lol i'll let you off this once then.............

I'll have to hook the manual out and get back to you ok?

 

yeah no worry mate cheers

 

ive got an clifford avantguard 4 with intellistart so i can just start my car up to warm it up or cool it down with the touch of a button!

 

Good for you

 

yes it is

 

 

ive heard you can do remote start with the AI606, but having no manual i dont know if its true, is it wireing, a plug in box or was someone yanking my chain

 

You can..........the way you have probably been informed of would be with a remote start kit which hooks into the alarm, ive got some drawings i did one night though when i had a brain wave, and i reckon i can make a remote start for less than a fivers worth of bits

 

a copy of that with the copy of the manual then if you would be so kind

 

As soon as the cheque is received my good man

I haven't tried the circuit out yet, im going to do it on my car but its very simple and may not work very well on cars that dont start positively.

 

cheque, cant ya scan it and email it me?
