Hello I have a serious dilemma on my hands and have no clue whats going on with the evo. Ok so I commute my evo to work 6 days a week 45 miles a day roundtrip so every mourning when I leave after car has warmed up of course I begin my drive and when I start accelerating my turbo timer starts adding seconds well by the time I get to work the turbo timer is at 7-8 min durring the drive the timer never goes down only counts up and it does this at night as well but whats wierd is when the outside temp is over 75 degress I can drive my car as hard as I can and the turbo timer never moves off 0.00 seconds. So only when the temp outside is below 70 degrees the turbo timer acts up my temp gauge on the cluster never budges over half way.Any info would help I drive a 04 evo 8 with 77k only mod it has is a works catback exhaust. And the turbo timer is a greddy. Thanks for your time.

 

Well I doubt that is "Major" but what setting do you have it on?

 

Set it on auto

 

Trying to figure out if there is something wrong with the turbo or motor itself

 

mine i have to set up myself when im about to shut off the engine. you have an egt gauge?

 

no egt gauge,,,,And its always under load when the timer starts counting

 

http://www.hksusa.com/faq/?ID=1647 hope this hepls but find your timer and make sure u hooked it up right. not try to say u didnt but always good to double check

 

i kinda had the same ordeal when i had the tt on my other boosted car. if u idle and drive slow it'll go down. i know this because i tested it. highway driving it goes up and peaks out but when u just sit there and idle in stop and go traffic it counts down. as for the temp, not sure on that. maybe its wired differently than mine?

 

i started having the same problem a few months back so i just set the timer to 1 min.
it was working fine before. im not sure about 75 deg problem but i think its the wiring. it must have come undone or something
but subscribed

 

i went in last night to check all wiring. everything looks good. but its still doing the same thing. could this be due to the tune or something software related?
