Which turbo timer to get..

I have my whole center council out from putting in the eprom for dsmlink and I am considering getting a turbo timer as long as all the guts are exposed.

What turbo timer is trusted and overall good on price/reliability??

How hard is the install of one?

i have a blitz, and i love it. it can run seperate timers, give quarter mile and 0-60 times, has a peak speed recorder, and i think a peak rpm recorder. also a speed warning sensor, and all kinds of safter features to keep your car from being stolen, like steering wheel lock, e brake sensor, and i think a couple others

I got the HKS Type 1 I think. Does a whole bunch of shit to. 1/4 times, 0-60ft 0-60mph, shift light, speed warning, peak speed/rpms. And it will pick up driving habits and idle car according to how hard you drove it. You dont need a turbo timer on a water cooled turbo though.

They aren't hard at all to install. But the ones with more features have more wires to connect.

which turbos are water cooled?

Pretty much all MHI turbos. Your 16g is capable of it also, whether or not the water lines are hooked up is a different story. I run a turbo timer because I didn't run water lines to my turbo so its only oil cooler. So it needs to idle for a little while before shutting the car off.

What about ebay turbo timers? Are they decent?

Can you use them with like the greddy or hks wiring harness?

I have heard that the ebay ones are just as good. They are just a basic timer with out all the other functions. I think all harnesses are the same anyways bc they just plug into the factory harness and have wires coming from them.

So like, you can get any turbo timer and then separately get the wiring harness and the turbo timers all work with the hks or greddy harness?

Yes that should be right. You may have to alter the harness a little but it should keep you from having to hack up the stock wiring.

i have greddy and i like it.

Send me 100 dollars and I'll tell you how to make the dopest turbo timing system you've ever seen...









...nah, I'll do it for free. When you stop the car, sit in it for a minute or three depending on how hard you were driving.

uhh not really. Thats pretty much the purpose of a turbo timer. Sure some can do 1/4 mile times and all that stuff but so can a lot of other things.

I use mine for few other things,

speed test
mph/kph converter
battery voltage meter

not to mention it looks badass at night

people these day are too lazy ( myself ) ,to sit in the car and wait few min, we just want turn it off and leave it running and walk away, and to make people say " did you know your car still running :grinyes: " I even have a lady run to me really fast and told me that my car is still running, I told she I let it run until im coming back, and that will be 1 hours until im coming back :grinyes: :lol:

I had the "pen" Apex-i TT in the old car. Now, I just sit and wait. Too many stupid questions, too little benefit.

I use to just wait a min or two but sometimes you cant when your in a hurry. Like I said earlier to if your turbo is watercooled it really doesn't need to idle at all before you turn it off. Mine is not so it has to idle for a little while.
