does it stick or just roll all over?

 

I believe its got a double sided tape on the back so you can apply wherever you want..I'm thinking somewhere in the vicinity of the climate controls and radio...My friend has this and it does not move at all so don't worry about bumps making it fall off or anything...

 

Well if heat doesn't bother it then thats fine. I Just liked the shape of the GReddy because it looks like something already for the car, doesn't stand out too bad.

 

Hey whats up guys Ill let you know what i find out on which ones look good on the car I like the car to look as good inside as it does outside. You guys can check my site out its not open yet though.

On my Z, the Greddy harness was very short so I mounted it with double sided tape right on top the steering column (between the steering wheel and the guages). If there is enough leg room some people mount it below steering

 

Just an update, got my alarm installed, and the built in turbo timer works great

 

what alrm is it southerncrane?

what model? how much $? I'm really interested in a compustar system too.

 

One more compustar question - any trouble with the immobilizer? Did you have to wire in a key to get the remote start to work?

 

Jedinite, The remote start systems won't work due to the engine immobilizer. This is what i read in the manual, and is what i was told by the shop that installed the alarm.

Coolguy949, the systems can be expensive, but the alarm is very nice because it does come with a paging system with a small screen, along with the turbo timer function. The paging system works up to 1.25 miles in the clear, but with obsticles in the way, more like 0.5 - 1 mile. i'm not sure of the exact model number, but make sure you get the one with spread spectrum technology, it allows the pager to respond from further away.
for exact pricing you should call compustar (they are located in alaska) or your local car audio dealer and see how much it is going to be. if you know someone with a car stereo shop, it will be much cheaper.

 

I had a WRX just before I got my new EVO8 . One of the first things I did was to install a turbo timer. I think that was a big mistake... first, if you drive normally (at least a few minutes at 35 or so mph) before you pull in to park, your turbo should not need a cooling down period. I generally never pull into my parking spot immediately after running ***** to the wall with my turbo glowing red hot ..... Also, as others have said, the manufacturers appear to have made provisions to protect the modern turbos from the dangers of the past.

The worst thing that I found about the turbo timers is that since the engine remains running after the ignition key is removed, this causes all kinds of consternation with valet drivers, carwash people, and even techs at the maintenance shops. I always had to tell everybody "oh, by the way, I have this turbo timer and ......." Even so, I've cringed to see carwash monkeys let the clutch out with the car in gear to make it stall. Also, there is always the danger that the clutch be released inadavertently while the engine still runs and the car is in gear ... That's an easy way to have a collision

Another thing, since you cannot leave the car in gear when you walk away (the engine is still running), you must rely on the emergency brake. Those brakes can wear or get out of adjustment so that the car will not hold in steep hills, particularly if parked pointing up hill. It's very scary and you look quite ridiculous running back to your car and trying to unlock it and stop it as it slowly builds up speed while rolling backwards towards another car a wall or what have you......
Finally, I noticed a significant drop in fuel economy from the extra minutes the engine ran with the car stopped every time I turned the ignition off
All in all, I think for most people the turbo timer is a waste of money or worse.

peace,

Manuel

 

Well, i "wasted" money on my alarm, which just happens to have a turbo timer built in.....

 

Sorry man, I didn't mean to diss you in any way. I'm just posting my opinion for what it's worth. BTW, I'm hunting for an alarm for my EVO right now..... Not having much luck though... I just want a very simple alarm that will make noise, possibly scare off the thief and alert me. I don't want any keyless entry, ignition inmobilizers, remote starter or anything like that. I don't even want the doors to be locked for the alarm to arm..... I leave my doors unlocked, I hope they try the door first... I don't want a busted window.....
