SupraStar 3000 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Just curious to know why a you need a Turbo Timer on a NA Supra? I've seen a few Apexi Turbo Timer say "for Turbo and NA cars". I understand the principle ie. turbo/oil temperatures etc but why would you need it for the NA? Is it the same reson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I would feel one sad puppy if I went round saying I have a turbo timer but no turbo on my NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Just found this:- "In normally aspirated cars, the Auto Timer can also be used to warm/cool the inside of the car without having to sit inside. The Auto Timer stands as a technological marvel." LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 If you have been giving it some serious leptons in high ambient temps then the engine may be close to boiling. Stopping straight after full throttle driving may cause localised boiling to occur in the cylinder head. This may lead to gasket weakening & it is probably preferable to leave the engine idling until some of the heat is taken out of the head area. The only reason I can think of using a turbo timer on an NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
