pg Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I can't do that the bill goes to DAD! and then I would get in trouble but I would probably get in bigger trouble from my mom. Don't you remember when I got kicked out of my house for stage 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rl Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 What I find works a lot better is a remote start/alarm with a built in turbo timer. You dont need to use a turbo timer much, having it come on every time you shut the car down is annoying. When I want my turbotimer to come on all I do is hit 2 buttons on my remote with the truck running, remove the keys and 2 minutes later it shuts down. Not to mention its really friggen nice on cold days yo have a remote start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desperado Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I am curious about turbo timers. I assume that they just keep the engine running after you shut off the key right, to keep oil flowing to the turbo while it spins down. If that's not the case please inform me as to what they do. I built as a project yrs ago some timers that would keep headlights on for a specific amount of time after being switched off. Got the ideal when cars started having this feature. Oddly enough it was almost the same circuit that I used for a wiper delay. I will say that something hand built would NOT have all the cool knobs and buttons that Greedy puts on theirs, but a variable on the timer wouldn't be difficult, and could be mounted out of site for a cleaner interior. If someone that has a turbo timer would be kind enough to let me take a look at the installation instructions and give me a brief explanation of what it does I am betting that I can do the same thing with $20 in parts.

Dave1647545494 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 theres already a built in turbo timer in every car it sits in the drivers seat and is sometimes called the driver or operator. seriously though why not just sit in the car for the extra 60 seconds or so. you really only need it after the cars been run hard for normal driving you can just shut it off.

pg Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Nah... I prefer laziness and I don't like sitting in my car after I'm ready to get out of it. I'm watching Training Day. I knew everyone wanted to know this. It's a good movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben what turbo timers will do this? Not the parking brake thing though. You know any off-hand? I haven't really looked into any yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
