HKS turbo timer


does the e-brake and speed wires need to be hooked up for the turbo timer to work? Right now, when you shut the car off the timer shuts off also.

 

No (at least on the greddy and blitz ones you dont, so I assume the others don't either), make sure your using the right setting on the timer. I think most timers have like 2-3 different settings. The default setting might be 0sec and you don't even know it. You need to read the user guide though.

 

I bought the timer from H-T so I don't have a user guide with it.

I followed the picture that can be found in any of the turbo timer install threads but its not working lol.

It turns on with the car, but shuts off with the car also. We have the e-brake hooked up now and it still does it.

 

bump

 

did you hook up just the turbo timer or did you hook it up to an alarm also?

 

You need to wire it to the e-brake. Well, that is what I did to my greddy. Speed wire is not recommand it.

 

don't need to hook up the speed or e-brake. i didn't hook them up on my greddy one

 

the ebrake option would b a good and easy hook up because if the ebrake goes down the car dies..

 

yea e-brake and vss dont need to be connected did u hard wire it or do you have a harness?

 

Hard wired.. tried hooking up the e-brake and still no go. There is no alarm

 

still need some input

 

first did you change the setting on ur timer i know mine has AC and IG...make sure they correspond if there is a switch on the timer...if not then your wires are messed up if you cant figure out the wires i say buy a harness or look on homemadeturbo.com theres agood writeup there installing a full auto timer on a 95 civic hardwired

 

couldn't find the link on HMT but i'm still searching for it

 

sounds like you don't have it wired up correctly then. go to the HKS site and down load the instructions on which wires go where and borrow a voltmeter if you don't have one. cause your going to need it to install the turbo timer correctly

 

I used a test light and couldnt get it to work. tried 4 or 5 different ways of hooking it up .. I think an H-T member sold me a non-working timer.
