HKS Turbo Timer IX

(Ninth Generation)

In 1982 HKS introduced the world's first Turbo Timer to assist in cooling down the turbocharger to prevent oil coking in the center bearing cartridge assembly. 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 amount of 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. Re-designed for 2008, the all new Turbo Timer Type-0 and Type-1 feature a new, slim low profile design with a separate LCD display and control unit following the same design concepts as the current HKS EVC and A/F Knock Amp.

Turbo Timer Type 0 The Turbo Timer Type-0 features a red LCD backlit display for easy visibility, 2 timer modes, and a battery voltage meter with a peak value indication and warning function. A few of it's key features include: Manual time setting, memory time setting, battery voltage readout, peak voltage memory, and voltage warning.

Turbo Timer Type 1 The Turbo Timer Type-1 features a light blue LCD backlit display and has the same basic timing and voltage features as the Type-0 plus several monitoring and measurement functions. These include: Vehicle Speed, Engine RPM, Distance/Time, and Stopwatch Functions

Although the HKS Turbo Timer can be hard-wired if absolutely necessary, a custom installation harness (if available) will make life much easier (not to mention the installation process!)
