**Product Announcement** HKS New Turbo Timers

The All New HKS Turbo Timer

HKS USA, Inc., celebrating its 35th year as the premier manufacturer and supplier of automotive performance systems and parts, is proud to announce the ninth generation of the HKS Turbo Timer available for sale on September 10th, 2008.

In 1982 HKS introduced the world’s first Turbo Timer to assist in cooling down the turbocharger to prevent oil coking in the center bearing cartridge assembly. Oil "coking" occurs when a turbocharger is not properly cooled down and the oil that normally lubricates the center cartridge heats up and forms solidified oil deposits. A turbo timer allows an engine to idle for a preset amount of time after the ignition key has been turned to the off position and removed. By allowing a turbocharged engine to idle, oil continues to pass through the turbo until it has cooled down to the point where oil "coking" will not occur. Re-designed for 2008, the all new Turbo Timer Type-0 and Type-1 feature a new, slim low profile design with a separate LCD display and control unit following the same design concepts as the current HKS EVC and A/F Knock Amp.
The Turbo Timer Type-0 features a red LCD backlit display for easy visibility, 2 timer modes, and a battery voltage meter with a peak value indication and warning function.

The Turbo Timer Type-1 features a light blue LCD backlit display and has the same basic timing and voltage features as the Type-0 plus several monitoring and measurement functions. The Turbo Timer Type-1 features an Auto mode for the timer function allowing the Turbo Timer to automatically calculate optimum idling time according to the most recent driving pattern. Vehicle speed and RPM can be displayed on the Type-1's LCD monitor and a speed warning level can be set. A two-stage RPM warning can also be set and used as a shift indicator. When a warning level is reached the Type-1's LCD monitor will blink and an audible beep will sound. The HKS Turbo Timer Type-1 also features various measurement functions including 1/4 mile timer, 0-60 timer and a stopwatch function that can be used for lap timing. The Turbo-Timer Type-1 can read in either MPH/SAE or KPH/Metric.

The new HKS Turbo Timers are compatible with all HKS Turbo Timer harnesses to make for an easy installation.

[FuszNissan]

Nice! Good price too.

[JB-370z]

PM Price,
I might go ahead and pick one of these up if the price is right.

[abgyak]

will this work on the 370Z? & can it affect in anyway the immobiliser of the car? or the other way round?

[JB-370z]

Good question? This might be a problem!

[bullitt5897]

[JB-370z]

Does it work right with our alarm and what not?
If so I would like to place and order. Need to get ready as much as possible for turbo.

[abgyak]

So you can lock your car even when the engine is still switched on?

If you can afford the tt price tag you can afford the 100-200 on t-timer so our lazy @ss does not have to wait 30sec or more for cool down.

[bullitt5897]

[Revzone]

Hi,

Is it possible to install the HKS turbo timer into 370Z and not affect the keyless entry and engine start?

Has anyone done it before?

Please help

Thanks

Justin

I am going to be the first I think... My car is at forged performance at the moment and my turbo timer is at JPM Coachworks interior shop getting imbedded in the head liner along with my boost controller and PLX Gauge...
