how to fit a turbo timer



  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
Well lets be sensible about this, petrol vapour only ignites when exposed to naked flames or hot surfaces, yeah?. And my turbo timer is set for 30secs.

OK then lets play scenario time, if I pull into a petrol station and start filling my car within 30 seconds of switching it off (completely off) there are still going to be the same amount of hot surfaces as if the engine is running. Cars don't produce naked flames so literally the only way to ignite the vapour is with a hot surface. Now aslong as I'm capable of inserting the nozel into the filler I'm perfectly safe. I know for a fact that "hot refuelling" generators is a no no but thats from the days when genny's had the filler points inside.

Anyway thanks for your concern I'm genuinely touched.:)

They really are simple to fit, it's the fact you can't lock your doors untill the engine switches it's self off.

I always enjoy the looks I get at petrol stations when I jump out and start filling up, then as people are shaking their heads at me for leaving the engine running it swithces it's self off lol, they just stand there looking puzzled.

However plumbing in water cooling will prolong your turbo life more than leaving it to cool down at the end of each run.

what turbo timer are you using mate?
