Dude, wiring is wiring... the HKS turbo timer still uses the same wires. Go look in the FSM and find which wires correspond to the ones shown in the illustration and you're good to go

g'luck on searching more though.

If you can't figure it out, pay someone or keep researching. If you had actually read the entire article from the link I gave you, you'ld be able to figure out how to install it without any further information.

If you wanted it to be an easy install, you should have paid the money and bought a new unit, not somethign that may or may not work, that has no warrantee, that has no documentation, and that was from a wrecked vehicle...

You get what you pay for. The unit might work perfectly, but you're paying for it in the time it will take you to install.

damn,.. i have this exact model, and cannot seem to make it work properly.
I have the correct (rx7 specific) harness for it, but every time i hook it up, i get nothing. Yes i've installed it following the proper instructions. Probably should go with something newer, but this one was free.

FREE thats the key word.. i ended up pulling it out the trash and putting it up on the self. so far i found out what the wires go to besides the yellow one its sapposed to go to the second ignition but i dont know what wire that is on the car...
