Turbo Timer on a NON-Turbo??

[91MitsEclipseNT]

i was curious could you put a turbo timer on a nonturbo, because if you think about it, its good for any engine to have time to cool down before the engine shuts down.

any ideas?

you can. but i really don't believe you'd benefit from it.

im sure i would, as hard as i drive my car it can't be good to just park it and shut it off, and let it sit in all that heat. good idea or not?

trust me its wasted money. turbo timers are pretty useless on our cars even with turbos. our watercooled degign and top bottom oil flow makes it rather hard for the oil to coke on our cars. the time you spend parking or even driving down the street and pulling in your driveway is often enough to let the turbo cool down enough. unless you fly into your drive way after boosting for the past 5 minutes and then immediately shut the car off, they're not providing that much help.

their useful and do help, but most people would be just fine without the use of one. and it'd be rediculous on a nt.

Regarless of how hard you drive. A TT's only real function is to stop oil from coking in the turbo lines. It's not to cool the engine.

I had it done on my 84 Rabbit GTI, if you can find a cheap turbo timer then it's all good don't go wasting a buck though.

I'm sorry but I think that is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I'm just being honest. Completely stupid rediculous idea

you could also use it to warm up your car in the morning so you dont hav to worry about it getting stolen.
