Good make, Lots of features, Good Price.

Not sure about wiring it into a ERST tho

or you could sit in your motor for a minute or so with the engine running?

This looks like a nice bit of kit, reasonable price aswell

i have a blitz DTTX turbo timer fitted in my RST. easy to fit,easy to use!! but it just as easy to sit in it and let it idle for a minute. the best bit is the look on people's face's when you lock it up and walk away with it still running!

MattC578

LOL, how much is that one, and did you fit it yourself?

efiturbocab

got a hks one well easy to fit one prob with them so i have found out is if you have got a cat 1 alarm with a immobiliser when you lock your car the immobiliser cut the fuel pump off so a turbo timer is pointles you have to wait for it to stop to lock your car

AKRS1

i have a cat 1 alarm oh well at least i saved around £100 would have been nice to have but gives me another excuse not to spend more money

MattC578

good point
never though about that
so this means i gotta wait!

efiturbocab

might be a way round it dont no

Combi_Chris

ok my friends an alarm installer, toad , clifford, all the new good ones, ill ask him and report back here , tell me what alarm you have and model number , ill ask for myself and matey here that started the thread......

Combi_Chris

One relay for £5 and you can have it protected with the Clifford still.

MattC578

Sounds good. I havent got a clifford, when i find out what exact alarm it is i will pm you.

One bad thing I noticed with my timer, was a Blitz one, cost bout £110. Is that say if i set it for 5mins, locked car and walked away... Before car turns off, you can keep extending the time the car runs for. So potentially someone could brake in and keep extending the time for the engine to run!!

how hard/easy are these to fit?

i have a cat 1 alarm and mine works fine! also it is wired into the handbrake switch so if someone was to get in while it's running as soon as they dropped the handbrake it would cut out!!

As above: ensure it's fitted into the handbrake system so as soon as the h/brake is off, it will cut the timer.

I have a Blitz timer. Works very well.

MattC578

I just got my rs today, Might have a go and buy one of the ones i posted up. Anyone think they look good?

joo5t

can somebody explain in simple english how to install these turbo timers ?

you got the timer itself and a buch of wires...where do they lead to ?

Combi_Chris

i was planning on actually getting one, and go from there as they vary from unit to unit. i know its not that hard , id guess no more than 4 or 5 wires

rs shawn

Don't you have an install guide ?

I suggest getting an auto-electrician to do it.
The wires 'roughly' cover the ignition (live), earth, handbrake, lighting, and ecu. Also there's the boost hose to connect as well.

i wouldnt bother, why dont you jsut sit in the car for 2 minutes and save a few quid

Linsay

Rad, i wanted one in mine - just for lazyness sake!! for on cold winter mornings, so i can put the heater on!

Also, can't you can just lock the door with the key, instead of using the fob to secure the car, whilst it's still running?
