I just got cranky with the local computer folks, they sold me a 2Gbt RAM expansion that doesnt work on my Fujitsu Siemens notepad and it got "special needs".....

Got my money back though and settled for a 1Gbt instead for £13 from Mr Memory, specifically for the Amilo Pro v2030

It's not really a question of big turbo little turbo, as it's been said as long as you drive sensibly before you turn it off you'll be ok. If you want to rag it, park up and get out then it's a very good idea, whether it's a punto or a skyline.

Woo Woo Woo, Children, Children, Calm down. Was only asking if anyone had fitted one before but thanks for all the responses ill keep trying. I'm sure i'll get there in the end

 

[ChrisUK]

did you get a wiring diagram with it?.

 

[seaneb2003]

Yeah I got a daigram and I have followed it but cant seem to get it to work. I connected the constant 12v to the constant 12v on the igntion, the 1st ignition posotion wire to the wire that it says and the 2nd ignition position wire to the wire that the diagram shows but the the turbo timer will only power on while im starting the engine (eg. 2nd postion of the igntion). I know that the timer works because I connected the 1st position wire to both of the wires on the timer and it will keep the electrics in the car running for however long I set the timer even with the key out.

I'm Baffed lol

SORTED!!!!

all up and running

 

[punto_matt]

How did you do it then?

 

[ChrisUK]

well done .

 

[Thunderchump]

How much?

 

[seaneb2003]

How did you do it then?

Connected both the wires to the 1st ignition wire again and it worked this time, must of been a bad connection before. Connected up the handbrake wire aswell now as i was grounding it before to test the unit.

which timer you go for?

had a apexi avcr recommended to me when i get some tuning done, can store about 3 diff maps on it

If you do need a turbo timer watch you dont get done for leaving your car running whilst not in it, which my friend got done for, and that was before the eco hippie law so you could probably get done on two accounts these days. 1 for the danger of a running car with no one in control and 2 for the eco hippie law of pollution.

 

[punto_matt]

Only if its on a public highway.

Ofc. I am assuming the OP will park his/her car on a public highway at some point in their ownership of the car.

 

[Mayatt]

silly laws

what if its locked?

 

[beany_bot]

silly laws

Still get done. tbh not so much a silly law, what if your car went into gear and went on a rampage and killed someone? unlikely I know but your car could be hit or something causing it to knock into gear or a pet cause it to happen. A vehicle is a dangerous thing and to leave it running unattended in a public place is pretty dangerous (in some peoples eyes).

 

[punto_matt]

And how exactly would it get into gear?
