antno Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I've got a cobra alarm system and unless i unplug my turbo timer the alarm will go off. i think its' because its still wired to the ignition. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for an early hks turbo timer. i suspect that turbo times are wired up the same. Also do the newer turbo timers disconnect from the ignition circuit once they have run and allow the alarm to immobilise it? cheers antno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antno Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) i know most of time but worth it for the times you are late and you give it death all the way there then have to leave her while she cherry red. also i noticed before i disconnected the turbo timer the revs at idle were hunting quite a bit. i thought it was because of the map on my f con but when i disconnected the turbo timer it seemed to have cured it. havernt had a chance to get her warm on road test as ive got the diff out. any ideas? i think there must be somthing not wire up correctly cheers antno Edited December 5, 2011 by antno (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, you won't be giving it death into the carpark, turbos on song. As long as you have 20-30 seconds with the car not screaming it's nuts off you will be fine. If you get caught with a turbo timer in use you will be fined also. Useless things that people buy because other people buy them lol. I have one built into my alarm, it's been used once to test it.

The alarm doesn't know that there is a turbo timer in place, it is simply sensing that the wiring isn't as it should be and assuming that there is an attempted theft in progress.
