Does anyone know how to fix this? On my 94 rx-7 R2, I installed a greddy turbo timer using a wiring harness and properly grounded it. When I turn on the ignition, it beeps twice and displayes a 1 and a backwards "c" on the screen. When I turn off the ignition, it doesn't count down or anything. The engine just turns off. That's it. Any ideas? Is the timer bad?

did you wire it up to the ebrake? well n/m that would'nt effect it not counting down.

I dunno! google it

No it's not a bad timer.

Go to the greddy site. http://www.greddy.com/

Go to tech. There is an english turbo timer manual. see page no.27 (line switch mode)it'll answer your question.

I tried the instructions using the english manual at greddy.com. When I hold down the p+s buttons, there is no response from the turbo timer. It won't flash ACC on the screen. Mine displays 1 and a backwards "c", not 1G. I originally thought this was the problem as well. Any other ideas?

My Greddy timer died along with a few friends of mine that had them as well. Search on here you'll find a thread with quite a few that have stopped working. Don't know if was just a bad batch of them or what but I think they are garbage.

I have the same problem except mine reads 0_0 and beeps three times.

They are all bad. You don't need a turbo timer, so get rid of it. Just drive the car easy for the last 2 minutes of your drive, and shut it off. Turbo timers are toys for dumb kids that don't know any better .

How so? If your in a rush do you want to wait in your car for 2 minutes for your car to cool down? I guess your the only one that isnt late for work

I hope I'm not the only one who is never late to work

Any moron can figure out how to drive a car fast without boosting for the last 2 minutes.

He didnt ask for your opinion... SO if you cant add anything usefull to this mans thread just stfu.


Does Greddy's site say anytthing about error codes on the timer? n/m i will go look and see for ya

They are not just for DUMB kids that don't know any better. They have there place and other pourposes/features. So opinions like ********, everyone has them (some are just bigger than others). I can warm up/cool off the interior with it locked and not have to endure the unpleasantries of suffering in the car while it does so. I needed a volt meter so it filled the bill. (-:

I've been using the same Greddy TT 2000 since 2000, across 3 or 4 cars, no problems whatsoever. I haven't heard of any cases of broken ones personally, besides on here.

Since this is an OPEN forum, I won't be taking your advice. By the way, telling him to get rid of it was the best advice on this thread .......... by far

Oh, and your posts were really helpful

RX7Wishing

lmao. Atleast i tried to provide SOME sort of help instead of telling him to get rid of something.. News Flash: He didnt ask if he should keep it or not...

I still love you adam!

Bartman28

LOL... the dialog is hilarious! Anyways, I think i've tried everything including taking a voltometer and checking each individual wire to make sure it's wired correctly. I guess I'll just order a new one and hope it works. Thanks for all the advice.

Bartman28

Well, sure enough, it was the turbo timer. I ordered a new one and plugged it into the old harness. Everything works great! Thanks for the advice!
