turbo timer

[dunkinx]

anyone know where i can get a turbo timer online? preferably a plug in type so I wont have warranty issues. thanks

Not sure if they make them for the Pajero, but I have a Miccon turbotimer that I bought from a bloke in Sydney, but he now sells them on eBay for $130 (under ML Triton turbo timer). It fits in a blanked off space in the dash and is very easy to installm

It's not a plug-in type, I think you need to go to a Boggard for that style and the price is higher.

hope that helps
Cheers

I could ask the question why are you installing a turbo timer?
Not trying to be smart a.. however
Given the VGT turbo is a water/oil cooled unit using ball bearings and the engine runs full synthetic oil, its an over kill.
Turbo timers are something used in Old technology trucks running oil cooling only and mineral oil, where oil break down would cause carbon to build up and damage the seals and bronze bushes.

muzza my turbo has no VGT, is it still water cooled similar to the VGT models, my 4m41 is the same as NS manual no dpf/VGT.
subi_man thats a nice turbo timer you got there. but I'm kinda worried about my warranty,
cheers

What about the manuals, as they are a different setup to the autos aren't they??
I have been wondering about them for some time now.

I can understand with an auto, you put it in Park, get out, lock the door and let the timer do it's magic.

But with an manual, do you put it in neutral, put the handbrake on and leave, or do you sit in the car until the timer cuts out, put it in gear (for the equivalent of Park in an auto) and then leave?

Sort of defeats the purpose doesn't it?

Been there, done that.
