Apexi NA timer DIY civic eg5

[dynasty]

although its only $100-$150, you wont need to know the battery voltage whilst your driving because it's obviously >12V or your car wont even start. A/F ratio will not change from stock setting unless you have tuned your ECU which i highly doubt, and on top of that, the readings are not 100% correct. Finally, what do you get out of reading O2 sensor anyways? yay it has a reading, my O2 sensor works...thats all? Like previous reply, unless you have something to cool down (VTEC does not count for all you smart a$$ comments i foresee), then why would you keep the car running? the primary purpose of a turbo timer is to let the engine run so the oil can cool the turbo down, not for you to buy so u can check your battery voltage, and A/F ratio or O2 sensor readings, if you need to justify why u need one of these on the NA cars, then you really shouldnt have one.

lol coolant cools down turbos. oil usually lubricates the main shaft.

when you turn of a turbo car, the coolant is still running through the turbo system.

thats the noise you hear that sounds like breathing after you shut down a turbo car.

a turbo timer actually just slows the process of going from hot to cold that's all.
better then going from hot to engine shut off, and not letting coolant circulate to bring the temps down or let the thermos run.

just a side note, they are illegal for reason that should in the event of an accident, the turbo timer kicks in it may cause more danger, as the engine hasnt shut down yet....

But who gives a dam, since all imports run em lol

this turbo timer and many others in the event of a crash will not just kick in. the hand brake must be up for the turbo timer to work.

if u want bling get a VAFC/SAFC/NEO

better value for money - this does nothing for n/a except make you look like an idiot lol

oil also would cool down turbos as well if u dont have a newer water and oil feeds for the turbo.

lol yeah thats true . most cars have water cool until you run big mofos

[Riced_Civic]

lol yeah, i dont have that luxury of extra cooling

[beeza]

haha,true i reckon

[hisoka]

hahah dont worry, its one less thing you have to worry about.

both my s13s ive had both blew that hose more then once.

its a **** to fix at home, and even worse to fix in a random car park.

i think its really a must to have braided turbo lines. so much less hassle.

If your going to have this device. Then when the car shuts off and timer is on, please stay and wait for it to shutt off at least. I hear stories these timers make car thiefs alot easier cause the motor still runs and they'll just flick the timer up more time as they drive

[hisoka]

if the handbrake is down, the car turns off.

[mugen_ctr]

thats only for the apex unit... other units like the greddy dont have this option... u can still leave it running without the handbrake, an yea makes easier to steal, soo much easier infact lol, but these days cars are stolen on a flatbed truck
