I recently bought a greddy full auto turbo timer and I was wondering how exactly do you hook it up and what does it hook up too. It came with instructions but unfortunately its all japanese. it also came with the HKS plug and play harness.

The jumper goes in between your plug for the ignition tumbler in your steering colum. Unplug, plug in jumper, put colum back on. Feel confident. Send me a paypal for $2.50.

Hahahahah it was a j/k

lol

I used to be in that same boat, except I hard wired mine in with solder and shrink and had to learn all by myself. By the time I had my third 240 the harnesses were readily available and I made it happen.

lol caught the joke. Anyways thanx for the info. I read that it connects to the ignition so I started looking before I went to work. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait till tomorrow to hook it up.

Yea I tihnk my friend had his spliced and soldered, his shorted out though. I didn't think he heard me say that mine came with a plug n play harness so he kept saying that it would short out and not to get it lol. I just think it was the way he had his done lol.

Do what I did...Go to a junkyard, cut both connectors off for the ignition cylinder with enough wire.

Flip them around, wire them into each other, and wire your turbo timer into that and BAM completely safe and easy DIY Turbo Timer harness.

I honestly don't know, it happen the night he was putting on his front mount IC. I guess he didn't wrap them good enough.
