navara turbo timer

My opinion is that all turbo's need to be cooled down after heavy use as the cooling oil left in a hot turbo will burn and clog up bearings and gallerys, restricting oil flow later.
If you intend on keeping the navara it dosnt hurt looking after it the best you can.
The reason they dont come from factory with a timer is it is illegal in some states to leave a car running in public plus your insurance co may say something two.

Check with your insurance company.
Some wont allow turbo timers.


But for the money they are outstanding.

If you have (or plan to get) an engine immobiliser you will probably strike a few issues with the use of a turbo timer.

I have an engine immobiliser in my surf and a turbo timer too and I have no issues. Just make sure that your immobiliser is auto arming. Mine turns on 20 seconds after the engine stops.

The only draw back is to sit there and wait for the timer to time out if you intend on using a killswitch as well.
No big deal.

You can get a totally intergrated TT alarm system now!! Started of with all the young kids in the Petrol Turbo Rice burners. But are perfect for out Td that we also would like to protect mechanically and physically!!

These save the issue of the isolator waiting for the TT to shut down the engine before they can isolate the system but....also incorporate a feature that if the car is attemped to be moved once the alarm is set and the engine is still idling down (ie broke into after you leave) the engine will shut down immediately!!

chas - how's your vehicle for towing and generall performance / fuel economy? I'm looking at this rig also.

chas - Which model did you settle on ??

chas,

How's that Navara going?? Did you end up fitting a turbo timer??

yeah jack,I fitted one but leave it off on short runs around town,did you end up buying a nissan?
still happy with mine so far,had a play in the mud after the rain which was a bit of fun
