OK Since a few people have PM'd about the Apexi Turbo Timer(TT) install. I thought I would post a small DIY about the Apexi TT. Please keep in mind that this is just a guide to give you an idea of where the wires and such are located. It's not my fault if something goes wrong with your car.


This is a link for info on the Apexi TT

This is a link for the install manual for the Apexi TT

Some of my pics are alittle blurry so please bare with me.



First things first. Remove the shroud around the IGN. harness.




The next thing I did was mount my TT "brain" box.

Its the small black box wire multi color wires coming out of it. I mounted it on the inside of my center console. Just left of the shifter.




Ok now its time to wire it up. First thing I did was connect all the wires needed to the IGN. harness. The ignition harness is located under the plastic shroud which we removed earilier. The thick BLUE wire from the TT harness connects to the thin yellow wire" 2nd IGNITION +". The thick GREEN wire fromt the TT harness connects to the Thick BLUE wire"IGNITION +" wire on the IGN harness.





Next thing I did was hook up the 12v power wire to a circuit in my fuse bax using a Add-a-circuit which can be found at any auto parts store.



This is a Add-A-Circuit





The RED wire on the TT harness is your power wire. Again sorry about the blurry pic





Once thats connected your should find a good grounding point for the TT's ground wire(BLACK wire). Connect it to a clean solid metal surface. Sorry no pic.



Next connect your E-brake wire(GREY wire)


^^ I have mine wrapped in electric tape but this wire just taps right into the Black wire coming out of the front of your E-brake.



The White wire from the TT is not to be used on the tC. So just cap it off so none of the wire is exposed.




Ok so the only thing left should be to find a place to mount the Control box. This is where I mounted mine just to give you an idea.





I hope this helps anyone with the Apexi TT out. I'm not sure about other TT's since this is the only on I've installed but I'm sure it's along these lines. Please let me know if I missed anything or forgot to post a important part. I installed my TT about 4 months ago so this was all just memories.

nice very very helpful

Byta27

if u guys could please help me out i have the turbo timer in and when ever i take the key out of the ignition and the car runs from the timer the alarm goes offfff is there anyway to bypass this and if soo how can i do it? i installed it the same way that u did.

yamaha16bw

Like your car alarm goes off? If so which kind of alarm do you have? If your turning off the car and the car is still running then the TT sounds like its installed right. Alarms and TT's can be tricky to make work together.

i installed the apexi timer exactly the same, but when i turn off the engine the timer goes off also! why is it like that?

bluaeon

AKUMA

Mightygnu

20tCDude05

Bump? I am interested in knowing if my tC, which is a 07, will turn off the TT with it.

ippskidder

Wow brought back from the dead, lol.

Bump for answer =)

Thats a good question.

Mr_Meaty

what year is yours, yamaha?

ippskidder

I believe his is an 05-06.

I've been talking to him, since 06 on scionlife, lol.

yamaha16bw

I have a 06. Ive installed it just like this in my current tC and my old tC and its worked both times for me. Maybe the 07's are different.
