Re: do i need a turbo timer?
I agree that the water cooled ones dont need as much time to cool down. But doesn't letting them cool down extra time help preserve the life of the turbo?

Re: do i need a turbo timer?
not really alls u have to do is sit there and wait for the car to cool down, and u dont have to do it everytime u drive, only wen u drive it real hard. its really a waste, it jus looks cool 8)

Re: do i need a turbo timer?
I always try to drive easy when I get close to where I'm going. I would say if you have the water section of the turbo hooked up you're alot safer, but I hate water cooled turbos. :P

Re: do i need a turbo timer?
woah alotta opinions..
now like i said... i already have a blitz dtt dc II turbo timer / boost gauge so its either sell it or keep it.. as for upgrading.. im not sure that is that close in the future.. cause i already got alot into the kit i peiced together.. and the 14b will be more then enough boost for me.. *i say that now i know* but 200 hp civic is fast enough for the street.. go much more past that and it wont even be controllable lol what would be a good turbo to upgrade to? t3?? what a/r ?? sorry to get ot but.. what are the a/r's on a 14b? i know they are good for d's thats why i went with it..but i dont know the numbers on it.. anyway i guess ill just use it since i got it.. and help the turbo out a lil.. now for the wiring.. who knows what color the ignition wires are on a 95 civic dx.. i found this for a 99si but nothing for a 95.. .are they the same.. i havent tried to install it yet.. or else id know already.. just seeing if neone knows for sure before i even get under there.. Red (constant 12v) wire => Thick ass white wire Blue (accessory) wire => White with black stripe Green (ignition) wire => Black with yellow stripe Black (ground) wires => Grounded Purple wire => Parking brake and also how should i tap into them??? the 1 wire that goes to the ebrake.. came with a quick splice clip thing.. shoiuld i get some of thos for the other wires 2? i dont want to chop the ignition wires to much u know |

Re: do i need a turbo timer?
you needs one only if you LOVED to drive it hard then shut it right off..
what i do, drive it easy for like the last half mile, then shut it right off just like a regular car. turbo timers are OVER RATED 8) same as you don`t see F40 Nor 911 turbo has one. but in my frineds turbo MR2, there Is a note on the sunvise that said make sure engine must be running for at least XX second befoe shutting off after raping... |
