My first mod will be a turbo timer. You got to think long term even if you swap turbos or what ever everyones first mod should be a turbo timer!!! anyone recom a brand?

 

Compustar

 

flame suit on?

 

why would he need one?

 

 

don't waste your money, bye the time you found a parking space at the mall it will have cooled off plenty.

 

Yeah if this setup required one; GM would have put one in stock, i am sure they thought about the warranty precautions for the turbo and felt this wouldnt need one.

 

im no turbo expert by any means, but ive also heard from some pretty smart people that they are not a necessity anymore if you use synthetic oil because they dont "bake" like conventional oil in the turbo

 

Stock turbos dont need a turbo timer. Why? Because there is usually a oil pump that stays on.

 

dont need it

 

n tey haf waher koolang

 

in my MS3 you can hear the oil pump stay on for about 30 sec and then turn off. i bet the SS is the same.

 

Turbo timers are always a contentious issue in the diesel pickup world-some say you have to have one, others say you don't. In all the years I've been driving turbo diesels, I've always been careful to not just pull her up and shut her down if I've just come off the interstate pulling a big load or something, but I've never felt the need for a turbo timer.

I was a bit nervous going to a gasser turbo since EGT's are usually higher on a gasser than a diesel, but supposedly the direct injection set-up leads to lower combustion temps anyway. I still wouldn't want to just come in off a speed run off the interstate and immediately shut it down. But like was mentioned above, a minute or two of idling getting parked and such should be plenty to cool it down out of the danger range-particularly with the high heat tolerance of synthetic oils.

 

You're from Columbus?

Let's Race.

Oh... and you don't need a Turbo Timer.

 

I'm buying one!!! better safe than sorry, thinking long term.(more boost,diff. turbo etc)...

what do you what to lose by my ss/sc or my ss/tc? lol...

 

Well thats good, because thats when you see the hottest temperatures. Big load + hills then directly parking on asphalt and letting the truck just idle or turn it off you will see the most rediculous temperatures.

 

Awwwww ****!!! Do we FINALLY have a race!?!?!?!?

 

hell yes we do! it will be at a track as well. for real times!!! still waiting for car to come in. will need 500 or so miles on her. then we can meet at norwalk or national trails!

 

the new areoforce gagues have a bulit in tubro timer but since we have an s/c i guess you can say its a cool down timer
dont believe me i can post vids at a later date with the gagues

 

i have a new aeroforce gauge... how do i program the new turbo timer? i never seen that

 

wish to see this as well!

 

havent found out how to program it all i did so far was hook them up turnd my car on then off 2 see if it works but then my car kept running was kinda shockd couse i have the ss/sc an me an my boy still havent found out what in the world is couseing the car to still run for 10secs after shut down

 

usually turbo timers let the car run for 45 seconds to upto 3 mins after shut-off, 10 seconds wouldn't do anything worth while really

 

i bet youll lose in both cars........because of your cockyness

 

i know but im just saying since the gagues still let the car run after shut down then theres a way to adj the time to let it run longer
