Turbo Timer - What's the Advantage ?

[alwayz_yummy]

it's a water cooled turbo, however, I'm still scratching my head... in townace forums, they said it's not necessary for a 2C-T/3C-T to have a turbo timer because it's water cooled. however, just last week when we cleaned and replace O-rings on a 2c-t turbo, it also has an oil path in the turbo. just like the water path, the oil has in and out paths...

un nga,e... siguro nga may oil din...ung oil lines ba sa ilalim(not easily visible), pati din ung sa air-intake may oil din dun,e..

for me,ha, complex ang turbo ng 2c-t,e.. may water and oil lines, pero walang oil cooler...pakabitan ko kaya...

if ever may makakapost dito ng how to DIY-tap a used turbo timer, it can be helpful, kahit na anong brand, basta layout lang....madali na magtrace sa unit,e...i'll put one din kasi,e..DIY

bro, "DIY" method ang ginawa ko para ma-install yung turbo timer ko.

Here's the key... usually turbo timers have 4 wires, namely:
Red - +12V constant power (regardless of switch position)
Black - ground
Orange - tap to ignition on +
Green/White - tap to accessory

since gusto ko pag nag switch ako from ON to ACC eh magstart na ang countdown ng turbo timer, naka-join yung Orange & Green/White wires dun sa Ignition On cable.

on my everest, the OEM wires are color-coded as:
+12V constant - Black/Green wire
White - Ignition On

Pls. refer to pics below.

add ko lang pala ...

yung ibang turbo timers merong 5 wires ...
usually yung 4 wires ay parehas sa post ko sa taas,
at yung 5th wire ay kailangan naman i-tap sa handbrake indicator/switch
(kc yung mga turbo timers na ganito required na naka handbrake ka muna before mag-function yung countdown timer nya)

:D

galing! thanks JagXtrm.

I have na the timer with me, but iba pala yung label niya. "ULTM count down timer"

count down timer and turbo timer are the same right?

[JagXtrm]

i think parehas lang sila ...

may pics ka ng count down timer mo? ilan & ano color ng mga cables nya? maybe i can help

[rion]

I don't think I can install this timer right now. my father would not approve. he is not comfortable leaving the engine running

Pm nalang kita sir JagXtrm if ever I'm installing my own vehicle na. I will be saving this thread for the future.

anyways, It has 7 wires from the source, then divided into 2 groups, the one group has 4 wires RED/BLUE/BLACKGREEN. while the other YELLOW/GREEN/GRAY

nagpabili ako sa thailand ng turbo timer last July 2006. brand nya is automann. fit na fit cya sa switches ng everest.

setting nya is 30 secs, 1 minute up to 9 mins.



since 4x2 lang ang eve ko, ni-remove ko yung 'blank' rightmost switch & dun ko nilagay yung turbo timer (sa 4x4 everest, eto yung RFW switch)



another pic, pag sa gabi



OT: yung dimmer switch pinabili ko rin sa thailand & very simple lang ang installation! yung foglamp switch dito ko na lang pinakabit sa casa.

swak din ata yung auto mann timer sa fortuner IIRC.
