i dunno what turbo timer to get. i'm kinda against being a brand whore... but i've got a hks actuator, hks megaflow filter, greddy bov, which might change to hks or apexi, and an apexi' n1 dual. which between the three hks, apex'i, and greddy is the better? thanks.

for somebody thats not a brand whore u sure do rock alot of brand names. anyway do like me and get a blitz dual turbo timer. its a turbo timer AND a boost gauge so if very functunal and u can add another "brand" to your list.
for the most part they all do the same thing..i have a greddy full auto, and have no complaints. but its up to you on what funtions you want

Get the Blitz Dual, it displays boost and has a lap timer! I have the Blitz Dual and I think its great.

haha, true, but i'm thinking of switching my air filter and BOV to an Apex'i, thus no one will see the hks actuator, but i suppose it really doesn't matter. on the other hand, i just may save the money and throw in a set of cams, or upgrade my suspension. i really like the blitz, i guess it would be more helpfull since i dont have a boost guage... kill two birds with one stone. anyone have pics of it mounted in an s13? thanks

:werd: The full auto from Greddy isnt bad. Although its pretty basic, it does have a voltage readout which is nice.

I have a hks turbo timer. Its pretty simple, very easy to figure out, but it does the trick.

APEXi for the Win bro....Auto Timer Setting if you want it, and while your driving you can toggle the read out to Narrow Band AFR Guage, O2 Sensor Voltage, or Battery Voltage...I love mine...at open loop the AFR Guage is accurate...so you can see where your at at wide open throttle....plus if you geta wideband, you can wire it into the Turbo Timer and use the AFR Read out as an accurate Wide Band Meter...

Two of the features I like on HKS are the voltmeter and RPM readout. The RPM readout is not only useful for the auto timer feature, but also allows you to set warnings that can give you a shift light. Downside is the display is too bright and you can't adjust that.

I used to have the first gen Greddy timer, with the round buttons and such.
Didn't work as I had wanted it to, maybe it was the ground that I had used, I dunno, but the auto timer function never worked right.
Anywho, now I just wait like 30 seconds before I shut the car down. Patience is a virtue. Practice patience.
