Turbo Timer - What's the Advantage ?

**driven** · September 20th, 2006 07:06 PM

yung turbo timer ba hindi siya naka install by default?
anong cars ang may factory installed na turbo timers?

afaik walang cars locally na may factory turbo timer. although sa thailand, merong factory turbo timer ang mga fortuner nila.

it kinda makes you wonder why mitsu and subaru didn't install a factory timer on the evo and impreza...

Turbo timer does allow you to literally leave your ride while its turbo cools down. It does eliminate the hassle of having to wait for the turbo to cool down. The better brands/models have the functionality of shutting off whenever you put down the handbrake, as a theft deterrent.

could you tell us what are these better brands/models - i'll see if it's within my budget?

thanks

Is it such a big deal, though, on a water-cooled turbo? I thought the Everest had a water-cooled unit, not an oil-cooled one.

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...

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.

The car manual on most turbo cars tell the owner to idle the engine for a few minutes before shutting it off. I idle my Plymouth Laser RS Turbo for a minute or two before shutting it off.
