Turbo Timer

98intrigue · 06-10-2011, 11:41 PM

Has anyone installed a turbo timer?

I just installed my Apexi turbo timer...everything works perfectly, minus the fact that the ignition doesn't stay on during the countdown

The accessory mode stays on during the countdown though?

The handbrake saftey function works...so I'm not exactly sure what I've done wrong. I installed the red wire to 12V constant, green wire to ignition, and blue wire to ignition 2. I absolutely HATE wiring because I always seem to screw up.

I used this website as a reference http://www.liquidc4.net/files/DEI_2009_Nissan_370Z.pdf. Could the 2009 wiring be different than my 2010?

I have never installed a turbo timer but I have installed more remote starters then I care to remember.
They do perform a similar function.

With a remote start there is usually two ignition, one start and one accessory output.

On a turbo timer there is no need for a start or accessory so that leaves the two ignition wires.

If you use a multi meter I think you will find that one of your ignition outputs is hooked to the accessory circuit.

I have also found that some new cars need more two ignition wires that require power in order to keep it running.

Sorry I can't be more help but I havent done a remote start in years or on a z so so that's all I can offer.

Good luck.

^thanks for the input.

Can anyone else chime in? I realize there probably aren't very many, if any, using a turbo timer because the GTM kits are water/oil cooled...not sure about the Greedys.

Haha, I planned on it. But since I unsuccessfully installed it Friday, I haven't had a chance to call him. I was hoping I wouldn't have to bother him.

When you bother him you always end up finding useful information from him.
