Installing Turbo Timer
 
Hey everyone, I bought an A'pexi tt for my 02 sti a little while back and am finally getting around to trying to install it, only bit I'm unsure about, which I've been looking all over the place on the net but cant find answers, is exactly which pins in the ecu to connect to O2 sensor and ground wires, I'm guessing the O2 sensor wire has to connect with the fron O2 sensor? or is the rear? and I can't seem to workout exactly which pin is the grounding one needed for a turbo timer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was looking at [url=http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/resources/2002_2004_Subaru_Impreza.php]2002 - 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX ECU Diagram[/url] and [url=http://www.northursalia.com/modifications/misc/wiring/wrxpin.html]NorthUrsalia.com: 2002-2003 WRX ECU Pinouts[/url] to try and work it out, those are the only 2 diagrams I've found.

Turbo timers are wank and waste of money our cars dont really need it just drive sensibly/slowly 5mins before you're final destination.

Firstly do you have a Brant?

If you do, installing it will be very hard and not worth it - What I use is the anti hijack mode 40sec? before it turns your engine off.

If you don't you can buy (if still available) turbo timer harness to suit your car, by far the easier way if not you have to splice some wires which I cant remember off top of my head which one..

I didnt hook the O2 sensor wire up, just left it off.

Well I already have the turbo timer and most of my trips basically finish with going 110, which is everday to work so I'd still like to install it so I don't have to wait a minute, especially if I happen to be running late. Brant, from my understanding is the standard security code start thing? Which I do have. Anti-hijack mode, is that what shuts the car off if the doors been open? At the moment I've been using that but I really want to get that disabled if possible, it really annoys me when I have to open the door for only a few seconds and then after driving down the street it shuts the car off on me, its even done it once when i didnt even open the door, I started the car like normal and then it shut it off as i was coming off a round-a-bout :s It is still possible to get the harness, at least it is on ebay lol.

Yeah I've seen that quite a few people leave the O2 sensor wire off, if you leave that off then the ground wires not needed either? I also like to have all available features of electronic devices, I don't know why, I just do but I guess if I can't work it out I can just leave them off for now.

At the end of the day yes it is his decision. But he has come on to this forum which is an open opinion one, asking for advice.

We have stated its more trouble then its worth. Not worth the time or money.

Sell it = Somewhat profit /end
