Apexi Turbo Timer hook up help

Post by rallyguy_777 »

Hey all,

I am new to the forum, but not to Leggy's.

I am currently running a VF 34 with an 03 WRX intercooler in my 93 Legacy Turbo and got a Apexi turbo timer for VERY cheap. I have all the intstructions and have seen other posts as to how to hook it up, but I am still alittle fuzzy on how to do it.

1. I know that I have to hook up the timer to two of the ignition wires, but no sure which ones?

2. To get to the ingnition wires, you have to take off that stupid metal plate and it is being a little Bi*** to get off. Any suggestions??

3. How can I hook up the wires to the O2 sensor without going directly into the ECU?? Can I splice into one of the signal wires that is coming right off of the O2 sensor??

any help would be appreciated! I am going to post up some pictures of my car once spring Officially comes in Canada because a few cms of snow have fallen over the last few days and I can't put the summer wheels on yet :(

Anyways, you need to hook the turbo timer up to the IGN 1, +12v Const, Starter Wire, and GND. DO NOT under anycircumstances assume there is an IGN 2 wire, i made that mistake and fried my harness.

Anyways http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/ Look at Vehicle Wiring Diagrams... and choose your car.
