How To install a turbo timer WITH your alarm, mystery solved, and its really easy! Options

[lagos]

i just installed my turbo timer, and made it work along with my alarm. its so easy, that i cant belive some of us every thought of this as a problem.

first of all, there IS a turbo timer harness that works with our car! any harness labled to work with a 93-96 supra will work with our car. i used a blitz turbo timer, and this is the harness i got. if you want to doubble check if your are buying the right one (if going with another brand TT) just google something like "apexi turbo timer harness ST205 " and use the part number they give you for that harness. this is the one i used:

TY-04 = BLITZ TURBO TIMER HARNESS - 51153


now for the "hard" part of making it work with your alarm. normally your alarm box connects to 2 wires from your igniton. located the point where it was spliced into your ignition wires. there should be a black Ignition wire its spliced into. disconnect the alarm wire that runs to it. this will make the alarm think that the car is NOT running, and allow you to arm the alarm system at any time. THATS IT. now you can take you keys out, get out of the car, arm the alarm, and walk away, while the turbo timer counts down on its own and keeps the engine running.

there might be another simple way to do this also.

on my viper alarm, if the car is running and the alarm is hooked up like normal, i can hold down the alarm for 2 seconds and the system will arm. problem is, that once the turbo timer turns the car off, the alarm thinks you took the keys out, and auto opens the door locks for you. so in THEORY, you should be able to reprogram tha auto-open function from your alarm and use it that way with the TT.
