PREFACE

The number one cause of turbo failure is oil “coking”. Oil “coking” occurs when a turbocharger is not properly cooled down and the oil that normally lubricates the center cartridge heats up and forms solidified oil deposits. A turbo timer allows an engine to idle for a preset time after the ignition key has been turned to the off position and removed. — By allowing a turbocharged engine to idle, oil continues to pass through the turbo until it has cooled down to the point where oil “coking” will not occur, thereby prolonging the life of the turbocharger. The HKS TURBO TIMER has the following functions.

• Turbo Timer function
  • 5 time ranges selectable between 1, 3, 5, 10, and 30 min.
• Low-voltage Protective Function
  • The timer stops when the battery voltage decreases to 18 V or lower.
• Safety Circuit Function
  • This function prevents the vehicle to be driven after the Turbo Timer countdown has started.

Warning: If the vehicle is driven after the Turbo Timer countdown has started, the Turbo Timer and engine will automatically shut off. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle in this state.

DC24 V: This product operates only on DC24 V negative ground vehicles. Do not install on 12 V vehicles.

PARTS LIST

INSTALLATION

In order to install this product, the following tools are required: Wrench, Nippers, Screwdriver, Crimping Tool, Insulating Tap (vinyl tape), Tester, etc.

Caution

• The safety circuit wiring must be performed, as the Turbo Timer will not operate without it.
• After completing the installation, confirm the safety circuit functions properly.
• Do not connect the black ground wire to the power supply wires (such as IG, +B, and/or ACC). It may cause damage to the Turbo Timer.

How to use the splice

1. Strip 5mm of the wire cover for wiring as shown above.
2. Connect another wire to the uncovered portion, and twist the wires together.
3. Stake the twisted wires using a splice.
4. Cover the spliced wires with electrical tape to insulate.

Key Switch Connector Position

Use a tester to check the + B, ACC, IG1, and IG2 wiring contained in the key switch connector.

ADVICE

• When searching for + B, ACC, IG1, and IG2 lines, connect the negative side of the tester to the metal part of the body (where the body is securely grounded).
• When searching for + B, ACC, IG1, and IG2 lines, set the tester to the DC voltage measurement range.
• It is convenient to draw the position of the connector line in the figure.

Check + B (constant power line)

• Set the engine key to the “lock” or “OFF” position.
• Place the positive side of the tester on the metal part at the base of the wire of the key switch connector as shown in Fig.
• The line where the tester’s needle shook is + B.
• Some vehicles have multiple + B, so please check all of them.

Checking ACC (accessory power line)

• If the key does not have an ACC position, there is no need to check.
• Set the engine key to the “ACC” position.
• Except for the confirmed + B, check the ACC in the same way as for + B.

Check IG1 and IG2 (ignition power line)

• Set the engine key to the “ON” position.
• Except for the confirmed + B / ACC, check the IG in the same way as when + B.
• Some vehicles have two IGs, so check all the remaining lines.

Key Switch Connector Wiring

1. Remove the terminal of the negative terminal of the battery.
2. As shown in Fig. 3, disconnect from the 3-pin connector of the turbo timer body at a place about 5 cm (three thick lines).
3. Connect the red line of the turbo timer to the + B line as shown in Fig. 4.
   • If there are multiple + Bs, connect the red wire to one of them.
4. Connect the green wire of the turbo timer to the IG wire as shown in Fig. 4. If there are two IG wires, connect IG1 and IG2 using the green wire cut out in (2).
5. Connect the blue wire of the turbo timer to the ACC wire as shown in Fig. 4.
   • If there is no ACC, the blue wire will not be used, so be sure to insulate the blue wire with insulating tape.
6. Connect the body ground (black) wire to a bolt etc. that can take the vehicle body ground. (Peel off the paint and rust on the metal part that connects the body ground wire with a file before connecting.)
