Man getting an awnser for the FC section is like trying to fix a flat on the side of the road, everyone sees ya and thinks that sucks for them, but no one stops in and helps ya.

I used an FC install kit to wire up my greddy turbo timer into the 84.It was pretty much a direct fit.......in retrospect,it was also a total waste of money.
Turbo timers arent really of much use on a water cooled turbo.Long after the engine is tuned off,convection currents in the cooling system will continue to pump water through bearing cartridge,drawing heat away from the turbo.If you have an oil cooled turbo they do serve a function, since oil stops flowing the instant the engine stops.I keep mine hooked up because it does have a handy digital volt meter function that I use to keep tabs on the charging system.

I figured that I could just cut the connector off of the HKS and wire it to the ignition directly but I need to know which wires it connects to on our FB. Also, I am running a 70-1 aftermarket turbo so it is only oil cooled...
Thanks

Wow,that sounds like some fun.
You might actually learn to like the lag.
I know I do,since it lets me drive around all normal-like when I want. Just keep the revs below 4K and the foot off the floor, and its all civillized.
Yea,the timers are really just an ignition interrupter,so its not hard to install.If you dont want to mess with a shop or probing which wires to screw with,just get an FC install kit.Its basically just a couple wires with plugs on each end.......not all that different from an "inline-tee" trailer wiring plug.
