Ceptik Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Since i bought the my Supe in June i noticed a little match-box size component next to the battery under the bonnet. It has 'FET' written at one end and 'Hi-Performance' written at the other. It also has earth and power leads coming from it. It may be connected to some more wiring but i need to check in detail. It was earthed but not connected to the battery. I decided to connect it up to see what would happen. So far...nothing. Although i have noticed that the revs sit about 100-200 revs less when idling. Haven't tested it on any major roads yet cos she's gasping for fuel at the moment. Has anyone heard of anything like this? Couldn't seem to find anything on the net..

Supra_Nish Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I think you can get FETT turbo timers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I think FET are a company doing mods and bits http://www.autoyurijp.co.uk/stocksupra.html This car has a few FET bits on it Anything to do with the turbo timer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptik Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 hmmmm...Could be. Any way of knowing if it is a turbo timer? Dont know a lot about them but i assume that when you take the key out the engine still runs for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Drive it on boost for a while, then stop and switch off the ignition without waiting for it to cool down. IIRC turbo timers are either removed or disconnected when j-specs are imported, so could well be one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 A few months ago i took off my dash to fit one of the aluminium dash kits and found an FET turbo timer behind the ignition switch. Already plugged in and working, its not an auto one hence why i didnt notice it kicking in before then as it needs switching on each time you use it. Could be something like this. Take the dash off and check to see if you have a turbo timer hidden somewhere. As tbourner says they are often taken off or hidden to stop them getting robbed on the boats. Ill have a look at my engine bay later and see if i can spot anything similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
