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.

clifford make their own turbo timer that you can have installed that works with the alarm. I have googled and ebayed endlessly to try to find one that I can install myself but never managed to find someone selling one on its own.

anyone else ever found one?

And I think the main problem with TT and alarms is that your alarm disables the fuel pump and stuff, so if the engine is running and it doesn't know your ignition is still on (cos we cut the black wire earlier!!) then surely it will stop the pump and the engine will starve itself of fuel?

Think thats right.
