Ok, here's the deal...I bought a turbo timer off ebay, and tried to install it. There are 5 wires, red, blue, yellow, brown and black....brown goes to parking brake sensor, black goes to ground...that, I'm positive.
Other three, I can not seem to get them right...I tried a million times, got ignition schemes from internet etc, but can get it to work. It lights up and I can adjust timing etc, but when I turn the ignition off the engine stops running ( I adjusted turbotimer to one minute). I would like to know, anyone driving a 4th gen civic (EF Civic) and done this, which wire from TT to connect to which one in igniton. Help, I'm desperate

Sure there is somebodey that has TT connected on his 4th gen civic!!!

Thank you!

turbo timers a big waste of money if you ask me but if you really want heres how to hook it up...

Black=ground
Red=constant 12v
Yellow=ign 1
Blue=ign 2
Brown=E-brake

2hotrod99> thank you, but I already know that...my problem is that I have 7 wires going out from ignition, and I can not figure out which one to connect to which...so I wanna know if somebody has already done it, just to write me here the pattern, which one to connect to which...

Yank the brown wire to the ebrake, that thing isn't necessary and is more of a PITA.

I can't believe that there isn't somebody who has a turbotimer on his 4th gen civic!!!!!!!!!!! I still need help

What years the car?

4th gens dont really have an ignition 1 and ignition 2 like newer cars..

Ignition for an ef is a Black/Yellow Wire

try connecting both ignition wires from the turbo timer to the black/yellow wire

you also may have to cut the black/yellow wire, connect one wire to one end of the cut, then the other wire to the other cut end, but try connect both into the black/yello wire

Thanks, I will try that!

JSPECSIR

the ign 2 wire can probably go to the acc. wire. thats how it knows you turned the key off and starts to count backwards.

#Leo#

There are 5 wires from turbo timer... :
BLACK one goes to ground
BROWN one goes to parking brake
RED one goes to 12 V
YELLOW one goes to ignition key on
BLUE one goes to ACC

That's what it says in the installation instructions....

So, you're saying to connect BLUE and YELLOW both to black/yellow in the ignition harness?

standbackimapro

Yah, put the Blue and yellow wire to the black/yellow wire if that dosnt work put the blue one to the Blue/white wire thats the accesory wire.. But try them both to the black/yellow first

standbackimapro
