fuckin ebay gidget turbo timer
Has anyone had any experience with an ebay timer like this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TURBO...09934917QQrdZ1 I've never looked into turbo timers so I'm not quite sure how to check one out. It doesn't seem like the most complex thing int he world though. |
Re: fuckin ebay gidget turbo timer
I would be leary about buying one of those as if it fails your car will sit there running all night etc.A decent quality turbo timer really doesn't cost very much as like you said they are pretty simple.I had a Greddy turbo timer in my old DSM and i bought it new for i think $100.

Re: fuckin ebay gidget turbo timer
my turbo timer was free..its called sitting in the car for a min..or just stay outta boost like 5mins before you reach your destination..or the classic spare key timer..for short trips

Re: fuckin ebay gidget turbo timer
hmm ok maybe I'll just get a used Greddy or Apexi one then. :)

Re: fuckin ebay gidget turbo timer
maybe it me, but I always seem to see old school used JDM HKS timers for cheap on Ebay...I got my old HKS one from Japandy or one of those importers for $40 shipped, worked flawless ann still works today in my buddys Supra

Re: fuckin ebay gidget turbo timer
i have that same timer in my civic and i don't have any problems with it at all the wiriing for it was pretty wierd to do but it came with instructions for it all...it works fine. the car stays on untill it hits zero.there is a automatic setting so the timer sets itself and there is a manual setting so u set it. mine was only 30 dollars :D but i mean you could prob. get one of those knock off apexi ones for cheap and it'll work fine too plus it'll have a brand name on it :) i saw one on ebay for 80 dollars

I'm actually running a nice turbo...not some 20 yr old POS. I'd like to ensure it as long of a life as possible. |
Re: fuckin ebay gidget turbo timer
I was using a 600 bucks turbo too :P but No, you do NOT need one.
just drive easy for the last few minutes before you shut it off. Man do i love to quote myself :8
