Hey guys as far as i know and with all the looking i did i found out that its almost impossible to install a turbo timer if you have a smart key. I know their are some ways like leaving an extra key inside etc to make it work or other tricks but that's just to much work. Well let me get to the point, my friend just bough a 2008 evo x with a smart key and the owner before him installed a turbo timer that works flawlessly, has someone figured out how to do it?? I havent really looked how all the wiring is set up but i want to ask here first if anybody has actually found a way to do it, if not im gonna ask him to let me look under his car to find out how he did it, thanks for reading

 

let us no i wanna no how it works with the fast key

 

Why do you need a turbo timer?

 

I've wondered if there was a way to get it to work.

 

I have to look at the wiring first
living in cali and having a turbo during the summer is a big nono
me too, i have to look how the previous owner of my friends evo did the wiring

 

I think you'll be fine living in Delano with a water-cooled turbo.

I know we are fine out here in Phoenix, AZ without the TT. It was already 107 degrees yesterday for a few hours and most of the day 104






...I hate the heat

 

^^^ Yea for the most part you should be fine. I've always just sat in my car for like 30 seconds or something after I arrive at my destination.

I was just curious..

 

i know but either way i want one, in back of my head i still need to leave my car running after ive gotten somewhere, it a habit guess

i wait to but i still want a tt so that way i dont have to wait lol

 

you don't really have to sit and wait 30 seconds to let your car cool down by the time you park and pop it in neutral its already cool down. only time TT is ness, is if your constantly beating and spooning your turbo up but then again its really up to you.

im pretty sure theirs shops out there knows how and may help you out

 

Primary use of them was for track use vehicles with turbo's only oil cooled.

When turbo's started to get big power in the 90's and more people were upgrading street cars to the larger turbos used on track cars it was necessary since street driving with an oil cooled turbo. Now that huge turbos are manufactured with watercooled centers the need has really disappeared, unless your at the track.

If you're really running your turbo that hard before you shut your car off: 1) stop driving like a douche 2) Leave earlier and stop using the huge performance of your car to make your commute that much shorter (be on time to places).

However, OPs reason to just 'want one', sure that works too. Can't hate for someone making it part of their style.

 

Nonsense. Of course we can.

 

^^^hahha!

 

Its a fashion statement nowadays , In a hot climate an idling car with no relative airflow only gets hotter, im usually better off cruising the final stretch before i park up out of boost low rpm for a cool down , this applies to where I live anyway! Ofcourse if your turbo is glowing you probably shouldnt turn off the car immediately haha.

 

i have TT on my 11 with Fast Key. ( using ARK TT small and easy to install )
just installed incase not really using it much, to activate:

u need to get out of the car from driver door lock and close the window from out of the car haha

 

You can close the windows from out of the car? Holy isht, I need to read my manual. lol
