turbo timer location

[RBpoweredSileighty]

well since no one has really posted in the interior forum i thought here would get a much better responce,

so heres my question.. where are you guys mounting the timer?

the locations i though of to put it was under the radio or on the dash.

do you guys have it mounted anywhere else?

Just personal prefernce...I have mine mounted on the knee kick pannel under the steering wheel. Sometimes you just have to see how much wiring your timer has. If you bought brand new and have the ignition harness...you could mount it just about anywhere...

BTW...how come you are never on AIM...I am on right now. boostedmayhem

Mines mounted on the very top left corner of the shifter trim piece.

side of the center console next to my knee.

yea the timer is brand new, i didnt buy the harness yet.. i wanted to wait till i started messing with wires first; so i guess if it will have enough length then it can be mounted anywhere i suppose... thanx

oh and the AIM.... i havent been on it in months. ill get on if you need me to or you can shoot me an e-mail.

I have mind mounted behind the Steering wheel on top of the steering cover, right in front of the cluster!

[accel junky]

I mounted my TT, EBC, and Wideband display all in the compartment under the cd player.

you should only have maybe two wires, depending on what your timer can do...one for the handbrake lead, and one for the tach wire or the speedo...all the rest should be plug and play...oh and also a ground

[AkademikONE]

No, its on the very top of the trim piece, near the center A/C vents

well the timer is a HKS TYPE 0

i still need to get the wire harness for the car but there looks to be alot of wires.

I had that same timer in my GSX and its a real easy install. All you have to do is splice one wire into the hand brake wire for the light...then the other is for the tach lead to the ECU, and I think a ground and power...can't remember. Everything else is plug and play. And its a really nice compact timer as well. Good choice. Depending on who you bought it from, you should get a paper that showes wiring diagrams for the ECUs...and it tells you what wire to splice. You have the RB20 right...if so, I can let you know what wire to splice into...as soon as I get my schematic next week from my friends shop manual.

oh yea its a nice lil unit smaller then i thought but pretty damn cool.i got the timer from Enjuku racing, it came sealed so everything is there (like mounts, a thick manual in Jap. and a few other papers, a manual in english with wire diagrams. yea i will be using the RB20 so you can let me know when you get that wire specs; please

[Doomed2Walk]

This is where I put it on my S14



But after I scrape up money for a R-Vit, I want to put the timer where the boost controller is and put the controller and R-Vit where the vents are.

[RBpoweredSileighty]

nice pic bro, thanx

[240DRFT]

if you want it hidden you can put it in the coin thing and somehow make it so you can still flip up the cover with it inside

[rico05]

I just cut a hole in the back of the din box and mounted it in there. Ran all the wires in behind the radio and all. HKS E-01 timer BTW.

[240DRFT]

i like thrice too

looks nice, thanx.

[RBpoweredSileighty]

went and picked up my HKS turbo timer harness today. its intresting to know that the harness adapter works on the BNR32 as well, which is the motor swap im doing LOL. anyway it just gave me a lil kick knowing that it uses the same.

[RBpoweredSileighty]

hey C33Laurel

did you get a chance to get that paper work?

[nismodave]

Mine is in my Glove box in my s14, with my S-Afc

[Gold Digger]

hey C33Laurel

did you get a chance to get that paper work?

Actually yes, I got it today, and unfortunately, I don't have a scanner, so I will try to describe it to you best that I can.

If you look at the top, your ecu should 4 plugs, two on each side of the center bolt...there should be a bolt on the top, dead center. The wire you want is to the left of the bolt, top row, 4th one over. Should be pink with an occasional grey band around the diameter of the wire. That should be the Tach signal lead. I just wired in to mine today, but haven't had a chance to test it yet, so wait till I get back to you to make sure. Go ahead and locate the wire, and I will let you know tomorrow or this weekend. Later.

[Gold Digger]

Hey...the pink wire is the one. Look for that one on the ecu, tap into it and you are set. laters.
