Turbotimer question..

[halik]

I thougth about getting turbotimer right after my intake and i can't figure this one thing out. How exactly does the turbotimer work when you park on a slope? (my driveway is kinda slopey and i have to leave the car in gear)

When you put it in neutral its all good, you can let the engine cool off for 30 secs or what now, but what happens if the car is in gear?

Hello Halik
You should be able to apply your parking brake and leave your car in neutral. If your driveway has so much of a slope that your parking brake can't keep your car in place, have it adjusted. Or forget the turbo timer and sit in it for a couple minutes before turning it off..[kinda ghetto, but it will work]

i do have the parking brake on and no it wont hold the car alone which is perfectly normal.


sitting in the car kinda defeats the purpose of buying the turbo timer ...

I never put my car in gear when I park cause of the Turbo Timer!!! Park your tires near the curb so it doesn't roll down but to be honest with you, your parking brake should be enough.

you cant put your car in gear with a turbo timer.. it would stall the car when you let out on the clutch.. you have to leave it in neutral and leave the e-brake up.. if you cant get the car to stay ok with just the ebrake then youll have to figure out something else like another place to part or sit with yer car until it cools off

Geez... how steep is your driveway?!?!?!

 

[Tallen]

umm...a parking brake should always hold you...thats its purpose. whats the condition of your brakes?

 

[halik]

well, it does hold me when i crank it all the way up, but it doesn't seem too safe.

Well if you lower your car you won't be able to get into steep driveways anyway so consider parking somewhere else.
