i just bought the new greddy full auto timer and it got here a couple days ago. the only problem is its all in japanese. theres no english part anywhere. if anyone has any ideas on what i could do please let me know

 

when i was going to change the oil yesterday, i couldnt. theres a plastic guard or summin on the bottom of the car. where are you spose to jack it up. also is there a certain oil thats spose to be put in these

 

Mine's too low to jack up from the front without boards anyway, but you can use the cross member behind the plastic belly cover, or just use the pinchrail on the driver's side...

about the turbo timer, why install it? the turbos are water cooled, just don't beat on the car approx 1 mile before you come to a stop?

 

yea mine is too low to jack up too but i used the tire jack to jack up the side first n then i was going to use a normal jack. but what is the plastic guard thing for?

this is my first turbo car and i didnt know anything anout cooling them so i would just shut it off. all my friends were telling me that i was gunna burn up up my turbos bc i didnt let the turbos cool and then they told me to buy one. as you can tell i dont know s*** about anything

 

Pull down Greddy on the web. They have a pdf manual you can download and print

 

do i need the turbo timer or not?

 

I vote for no, but i'm sure it's personal preference... my opinion is if it's water cooled it needs no timer

 

I agree with BoostFrenzy, no need for a timer, just take it easy before you arrive at your destination and if possible pop the bonnet (hood) to let out some of that heat.

 

Get rid of the turbo timer. The only people who buy them are kids that don't know any better. Get your money back!!

 

I use a turbo timer to run my fans after i get out for 5 minutes, not my motor

 

the cooling system recall/fix enabled an "after run" fan function didn't it?

 

no and and the fan mod is a set time, i use my turbo timer at different times to run the fans depending on how hot it is outside

 

So you shut of your car, then turn it back on with out starting the motor to let the fans run as long as the timer is set for?

 

I set mine for 5 mins. If it's hot enough the fans will continue running longer.

 

exactly, cheap fan controller, spent like 60 bucks total on it

 

Cheap fan controller. Spent $10 on the used OEM fog lamp switch, and $1 for wiring .
No stupid ugly box taking up room in my car either.

I guess, but im not hacking up wires in my car.

 

No and the test plug you use will have to be switched off before exiting the car or eventually you will run the battery down. I use the TT for a volt meter and to run my fans after shut down as well. There not totally useless.

 

I didn't have to hack any wires up either. I don't know what the big deal is, TT's are cheaper than a single gauge and have so many other features these days, and with everyone telling people not to buy them the used ones are selling for next to nothing ! ! ! $25 for an Apexi with FD specific harness.
