Hks turbo timer.

[Savage_STI]

Right, I had a quick skim though and couldn’t find anything about these, I have a 2004 Subaru sti.

 

The car came with a hks turbo timer installed in it but has never actually worked. I was wondering has anyone had any issue with them? I’ve looked at the wiring but I’m thinking the alarm could be stopping it some how?!

It is possible to make an HKS turbo timer work with an alarm if the alarm is compatible with turbo timers. It depends on the model of alarm how the alarm and turbo timer need to be setup to function properly.

 

I have both an alarm and hks turbo timer in my STi. The if the turbo timer is set you can lock the car with the remote, it will keep running until the timer runs out then the alarm will fully arm. If someone were to open the door while the timer was running the car immediately shuts off and the alarm sounds.

 

I would recommend finding the model of alarm you have installed and reading the manual for it.

 

Does the HKS actually power on with the ignition, but won't keep the car running when the key is removed?

 

Here is the wiring diagram for the turbo timer if it helps.

Yes the timer powers on like it should, but it won’t keep the car running it just shuts off straight away, that looks like the diagram I went off to check the wiring. I’ll have to look more into the alarm side of it and see if that makes a difference. Cheers!

Don't worry about it. If you can, remove it and sell it on Trademe. Subarus don't need them.
