Best turbo-timer

[Race94]

What do you guys consider is the best turbo timer out there??
Where do you get it for cheap

Thanks

i wouldn't consider its the best turbo timer, becuz to me... a turbo timer IS a turbo timer.

I got the Greddy and check out ebay. Sometimes you can get them for like $30 if you are lucky.. They don't cost much, usually ranges from $75+ brand new.

It does the same job. It's just depend of how much money you are willing to waste.

cool

the bes turbo timer? the cheapest.. its not going to give you any power.. no matter how much you spend on one..
yes some might have a lil more features thant he others.. but do you realy need those wen ur main purpose is gettin a turbo timer?

search on the trader and u can prob find a greddy old style tt for 30-50 bucks.

A turbo timer is a turbo timer they all serve the same purpose

 

[RipperXX]

I agree but if someones gota say a brand name.. eh HKS Type 1... (hey i like the looks of it + all thoughs options)

 

[Boosted98gsx]

i'd say the Apex AutoTimer. Works great. Shows theoretical A/F ratio, True font O2 voltages, Battery voltage, and times up to 10 minutes. All this can be had for $100 brand spankin new (with wiring harness) if you know the right places to look.

I have a 90 GST with a JDM motor, and I really need to get a turbo timer. I've been looking at the HKS or APEX timer. Any suggestions, inputs are welcome. Thanks.

any TT with auto is fine. its not a performance part and it doesnt really do anything but let your car idle. hks,apexi,greddy are all good. pick what one would mount the nicest in your car instead.

I like the look of the greddy ones plus they arent that expensive.

 

[Twizzle]

thats the one i have on order

black, its rectangle, and perfect for my console

I have the Blitz DCII DTT with boost gauge, and I love it. The display is separated from the brain, so it is very easy to mount wherever needed!!!

 

[theycallmebruce]

i have the apexi but was thinking of switching to the blitz DTT because it would mean i less gauge. but i don't think it reads vac. is vac reading important?

 

[Psi'dGS-T]

I have the APEXi, i like it cause it's small. It's all up to you though, they all do the same thing.

 

[chrisred95gst]

i have the apexi and love it, switched from a greddy. i have it mounted right believe my air vents right above my a/c controls, i also hooked up the o2 meter, i know it's no wideband but it sure beats the autometer light show.

 

[19Eclipse90]

Hey thanks everyone. In that case, I'll look around and just find one with a good price tag.

Buy a used on off ebay.

You have a water-cooled turbine bearing. Don't waste money on a turbo timer.

 

[19Eclipse90]

Defiant, what are you talking about?

 

[Defiant]

You have a water-cooled turbo. If you drive it anything like someone who knows what a turbocharger is, and give it a mile or two to relax before parking, the spool will never get hot enough to need a turbo timer. The water in the spool will thermosiphon with the engine turned off and circulate on its own, and it won't let the oil in the bearing get hot enough to coke.

Now, brace for the waves.

Yep water cooled turbos dont need turbo timers. People get them anyway, maybe for peace of mind? If you want the TT anyway, I like the HKS Type 1, its like $115 on ebay (make sure you get a harness its so much easier to install), and it counts lap times and other shit. Good luck!
