I got a question for everyone with turbo timer and Civic factory keyless alarm W/Ign kill.
I have a defi VSD, its a heads-up-display boost gauge/turbo timer. I searched all over the internet and HT but cannot quite find out what I need.
I'm using these instructions below but not sure how to follow them for a factory alarm as they are written for an aftermarket alarm. Two main questions I have, what do I connect pin 86 from 5 wire relay to? And also, what wires to I connect to pins 30 and 87a?:

here it is , i havent really looked over it or tried it , but heres some step by steps
Turbo timer and car alarm
(contributed by: allouthybrid via Xbird)
how to wire a greddy turbo timer with an alarm (again)
i completed this install last week and would like to help others who
have pondered over this as well.
required tools/parts:
1. soldering iron
2. solder
3. wire stripper/crimper
4. five point relay (could be purchased at radio shack or other
electronic stores)
5. butt connectors
6. wire tapper (taps into wire without splicing it)
7. 16 gauge wire
8. phillips and flathead screwdriver
optional accessories:
1. wire harness for five point relay
2. wire loom for that "so fresh and so clean" look
first off, i'll cover the basic wiring of the turbo timer. NOTE: this
wiring is for a fifth gen civic and third gen integra. i'm not sure
about other hondas or other vehicles.
-red on timer to solid white wire on ignition
-blue on timer to solid yellow wire on ignition
-green on timer to black/yellow wire on ignition
-black on timer to ground
optional:
-brown wire to wire(s) on e-brake. this safety feature cuts off the
turbo timer if the e-brake is released for any reason during the
countdown. if you have one wire this wire should more than likely work. if you
have two wires, obtain a voltmeter and test each wire to see which wire
gives off 0 volts when e- brake is engaged and 12 volts when the
e-brake is disengaged. if that wire does what is described, that is the where
the brown wire will be hooked up to.
ok, this second part covers the functioning of the alarm during
countdown.
the operation of the alarm is possible through a five point relay. it
is a relay with the points 30, 87a, 87, 86 and 85. "85 and 86 are the
wires to the magnetic coil in the relay (used to activate it). therefore
i wired 85 to the constant +12v (off my akarm wiring) (yellow wire on
alpine alarm), and i wired 86 to the gray wire from the turbo timer.
therefore while the turbo timer is counting down, the relay will be
active.
"points 30 and 87a are normally closed on the relay. therefore, i cut
the ignition wire for my alarm (red wire on an alpine alarm) and spliced
points 30 and 87a in between." in other words, cut the ignition wire to
the alarm, and connect point 30 to one side and 87a to the other side.
don't connect the ignition wire back together with points 30 and 87a
connected. i made this mistake at first and the relay didn't function
correctly.
87 is open and not connected to anything at all.
during the count down, the ignition signal is interrupted and the alarm
should be able to arm and keep the doors locked.
NOTE: for the alarm with the ignition safety feature, this feature will
be disengaged during the countdown but will be re-engaged after the
countdown. what i'm referring to is, usually if a key or other object is
stuck in the ignition keyhole to start up the car when the alarm is
armed, the alarm would go off. but with this install this feature is
disengaged while during the countdown and will function normally after the
countdown, as stated above.
