i just bought a greddy turbo timer off ebay a couple days ago and finally got around to installing it today, but i am having a little trouble with it. i have a 2002 civic coupe and i followed all the instructions and installed it just like it said. i connected all the necessary to the ignition harness, the speed sensor, and the parking brake. the problem i am having is with the turbo timer function itself. i cannot get it to work properly. i went to the greddy webpage to download their pdf instruction manual for help and it said to check the Ig and Acc settings on the back of the unit and ont he screen. i messed around with those for a while and it still didnt help. right now ia m using the Ig setting ont eh back and screen because i found that the speed and RPM meters in it work better this way.

the problem i have is that the only time the turbo timer function itself works is if i just turn the car on, then turn it off. then the turbo timer will come into play. it isnt working at all if i start going and then turn the car off a couple minutes later. the car will just turn off without any help from the turbo timer. does anyone know what the problem is or what i could so to fix it? i woudl greatly appreciate it. thanks.

i dont f'n get it. i checked all of the wiring and it is exactly like it should be. i dont see what the problem could be. i tried everything and it is still doing the same thing of not shutting off right. does anyone know WTF the problem is?

ok i think i figured out the problem. the Greddy Turbo timer has a safety function involved with the speed sensor. if it senses that the car is moving, it will shut the car off. well, my problem was i couldnt get the speed sensor to work properly and the TT kept reading it at improper speeds and even when i was going 0 it said the car wasstill going. so i think i solved the problem by disconnecting the purple wire from the speed sensor.

you might want to make some kind of cover plate/cloth to go over that area for when you park. to a theif that setup would look damn tempting!

PrettyLude

use the factory plate that normally goes right there

i was thinking the same thing, braking your windows, isn't **** for someone who wants to steal it, alarm or not.

i dont really have to worry about that. i park in a garage every night and dont really live in a bad neighborhood.
