Anyone install a turbo timer on a cobalt yet? pictures? how-to? diagrams? thanks

 

dont think anyone has...

i say..., you= guinea pig

 

oooh good question, i've been waiting for someone else to take a stab at it, i don't wanna **** up anything electrical.

 

ehh.....

 

I know my wife has a Code Alarm two way alarm with remote start, it has a turbo timer option on the remote. However considering that our car is manual it may not be legal for shops to install it.

 

 

^^ me too...me too.

 

 

bump

 

so they only install it on the thousands of auto's with a turbo?

 

so why does my boys evo 9 have a turbo timer?

 

he's not saying the turbo timers illegal he's saying the clutch bypass safety issue might be for the remote start

 

ok bump need question answered

 

oh, that's makes since. bump to the op's question answered.

 

well ive been trying to take a stab at it myself even tried looking for wire diagrams but no luck i mean it would be easier if some one came out with a harness of some sort

 

I maybe able too help you with diagrams whenever I get my SI id

 

since u have a 2.2 u should prob use one of perfect powers smt 7/8 products,

they allow u to change the boost on the fly and it will automatic change loaded tables accordingly.

and i think the 8 has full turbo timer capabilitys

 

whats a turbo timer lol

 

It keeps the car running at idle so it can cool the turbo down after driving. It shuts off after 5 minutes I believe.

 

My buddy has one on his LS. Has a hahn turbo.
Can set it for 30secs, 1min, 2min, or 5min. I'll try to get more info from him tomorrow.

Not too smart when it comes to cars.. but i believe it keeps the oil running through the turbo, so you just dont shut if off and have everything seize up.

 

so it keeps the engine running? doesnt that mean your probably gonna wanna sit there til it shuts off so people dont steal it?

Sorry if i sound noobish always heard of em never knew what they were

 

a little off topic, but why does your sig say what it says? you weren't even here a year and a half ago. Hack may be wrong, but its not really your business.

Carry on.

 

truth.


a turbo timer allow you to just keep the oil to ur turbo running a bit after the car turns off. this is a safety feature to no **** up ur turbo by cold stops.

 

speaking of which I really need to get around to installing one. This standing with my car for 5 minutes in the freezing cold is getting old lol.

 

to reply to the off topic thing. I put it up there for a friend because hack cheated him out of his money.
