reverse turbo timer

Does anyone make a reverse turbo timer, that instead of letting the turbo cool down to a certain level, it heats the engine up to a certain level so you dont have to worry about flooding ever on short trips?

You can use the turbo timer for the exact same thing. All it does is keep the car on for a set amount of time.



Remote start is no good for manual transmissions

That or get an engine with decent compression and injectors that don't leak.

Fix the flooding problem.
There are more serious issues if you're worried about flooding.
Fix that and this whole thread is moot.

i like clubbing baby seals while using my reverese turbo timer. it's hard to configure it properly to actually crank the car up without the key in and allow the car to run for a while.. main thing that sux is the car shuts off as soon as i get in it. i think it's upset about the baby seals that are laying in the hatch.


but seriously... just fix your problem. haahah

FC's have neutral safety switches, so a remote start can be installed just fine, and if it is properlly installed the remote start will never start a car in gear.

But I agree with Ted.

FIX THE CAR, instead of band-aiding it. With tha car fixed, there is no need for a remote start or turbo timer or reverse timer.
