I use my turbo timer to warm up my Mr2 GT. Go turn car on, turbo time 5 min, lock door with key. Go back inside have a tofu sundae. Get back in car and she's ready to go. MAD

[@randomaccessbrains]

great idea dude will remember!

[@xXPandakXx]

Garfield Baltista 5 mins is way too long unless it's winter

[@jeroenkerstens4139]

Garfield Baltista isn't it the same as running your car at idle?

[@jeroenkerstens4139]

Garfield Baltista btw running an engine idle in freezing temps? hmmmmssss. it's like appel sirop going through your engine to long. thick sticky lupe like oil doesn't really work at idle tbh. I use 5w40 fully synthetic put that in a freezer over night see what happens.

[@aa-xd1qr]

Jeroen Kerstens, I'm assuming you live somewhere you don't scrape ice off your window 5 months of the year. I do, as do millions of others. most of us have automatic car starters, you know. Sitting on the couch, decide, 'i better warm the car', hit a button on your keys, the car starts. Most of us warm their car at idle for 20 or more mins. All our vehicles are fine, aside from rotting prematurely from all the rock salt they spread on the road whenever it's potentially icy. You clearly don't know enough to be commenting on this sort of shit, bro.

[@Pspgamer789]

Should be really handy in my delivery van, I'll be able to lock the van when I go drop off a package and won't have to start it 150+ times a day

[@lewisnwkc]

[@lewisnwkc]

Same here, I've a 2.5L V6 Lexus but wish to know what it would be with a turbo!

[@GoofyDaGoofGoofTV]

[@rikkir8755]

Lol. I have a 69 Mini Cooper no turbo what so ever

[@krecik2336]

I don't even have a car!

[@phillipcave1197]

A turbo timer was designed and recommended for the early turbos with a bush rather than bearings as they are today. It allowed the turbo to wind down while still allowing oil pressure to lubricate the bush/bearings.

HWP doesn't regulate modified cars, they raise revenue by issuing bullshit defects that cost you money to get them cleared, even if your car isn't actually defective. It's totally ridiculous.

[@sluvington]

Thought this was interesting, the manual for my 2004 Volvo v40 says "Never race the engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubricating points fast enough to prevent turbocharger damage. Before switching off the engine, let it operate at idle for a short time to allow the spinning of the turbocharger compressor's turbine vanes to slow. After hard driving, this idle time should last a couple of minutes, during which the vanes will slow and the compressor will cool down while still receiving oil lubrication. If the turbine vanes are spinning at high speeds when the engine is switched off, there is a great risk of heat damage and/or turbine seizure due to lack of lubrication.

[@hannahbrock8398]

Swap it out for a SAAB turbo if it ever goes bad ;)

[@iwhbyd6996]

+Hannah Brock saab vs volvo...volvo will take it tbh...if he blows a turbocharger, id go to just upgrading to a v6 and turbo charging that.

[@sluvington]

IWHBYD 69 I had turbo issues 40k miles ago (now at 130k) and I decided to upgrade from 12t turbo to 16t and get a tune. Car has 250ish HP now (stock was 170) and absolutely rips while getting 30mpg its pretty fun.

[@rudkacka]

[@hannahbrock8398]

+rudkacka Well due to unrelated issues it no longer runs so sadly not very well :(

[@mattykress5017]

Loved the episode guys! Especially love the last few minutes when you basically summarize the positives and negatives!

[@brandongoad1692]

U could use that to cool down your car even if it doesnt have a turbo, like the rotary motors in rx8's and rx7's. They require a little cool down time for good engine life and reliability because they run so hot

[@luckyyou200]

Its an engine not a motor

[@mightycarmods]

Well spotted! Like all mods involving this kind of work, the battery should be disconnected first. Obviously if you need to check switched power, then you put it back on during that process then remove it again while you do your soldering (or shrimping - poor Cheryl)

[@joshuadqueen]

The turbo timer I bought (You had me second guessing purchasing one, haha) has many other features like 0-60 timer, 1/4 timer, auto door lock so even though, I do agree, there are many other features they include that make them worth price tag (140-160ish I think). And yes, the added little, "OH it's a turbo thing. You wouldn't understand!" thing is real too, lol.

[@otisforeal]

Turbo timers are actually a VERY good thing to have. Even though cars in the last 25-30 years have been coming with oil and watercooled, most manufacturers recommend you to let the car idle for 30 seconds to 1 minute before shutting off the engine. A lot of Celica GT4s/All Tracs like mine actually come with a decal on the door panel from Toyota telling you this. Also, my mitsubishi eclipse has the same instruction in the owners manual.

[@barrymccabe2112]

Great episode. It's cool that even though you're saying that timers are bunk (backed up by reliable sources), you still install one for a guy who wants one.

[@crazysupra]

I use a HKS tubotimer on my single turbo Toyota Supra, it's cool but im unsure if its nessesary or not. Its an old car with a BIG turbo...Better to be safe than sorry....and its kinda cool :)

[@joshuadqueen]

Basically this! If it helps even 1%, it may be worth it if it literally saves your engine, lol. I have a BRZ I am boosting soon and it's not the best engine to boost without building the engine. I got the timer in case it might help protect things even a little bit.

[@jacktherelentless]

They actually do help, most car manuals will say let run at idle for a while to cool. Bc the oil can cook when left sitting in the turbo. Amd watter can boil. Also helps manifolds amd the rest cool down. I've cracked a manifold by turning it off without a cool down

[@StephanHarz]

A turbo timer may not be needed for a car. But my 2006 dodge ram 3500 with a oil cooled turbo where my egts can be well over 1300f....a turbo timer is helpful.

[@brendanberry7403]

4 years later, but this. Definitely not a scam. Plenty of oil cooled turbos out there that need the oil to keep circulating to cool the turbo down and keep wear to a minimum.

[@andrewspaltman]

"Does he use shrimps ?" ......"what's a shrimp?" ....."it's a prawn Mate !" I just pissed myself laughing lol

[@FelixIsMyName]

I have a Blitz turbo timer system and the inlet air temp it allows me to see has always been handy for me to keep the temp of things. Once I learnt to set it up correctly, it will adjust the time the car keeps running depending on the temp it's detecting. Handy stuff indeed and in my Subaru manual, it says to keep the car running for 20-60 seconds after I have finished driving.

[@jiajunryanho6332]

Omg! Hope you guys come to Singapore again!

[@Mechanical_Insanity]

but when you have a high performance turbo they are not watercooled and when you been driving fast on the highway and suddenly need to pee and you drive fast to a gas station and then turn of your car you are happy you installed a turbo timer to keep oil flowing through your turbo

[@Azurren]

Isn't it best to leave a diesel idling for a few seconds before shutting it off? Surely a 10 second "turbo timer" would be a great addition to an older diesel motor :D

[@willow450]

I was told to let my diesel idle for about a minute before shutting it off as the oil going through the bearing in the turbo stops circulating when you shut the engine off and if it's super hot the oil can start evaporating and leaving behind waxy chunky gunky bad stuff residue and that doesn't make a very good lubricant and then your turbo bearings are gone and you start breaking shit so yeah I just take it easy for the last minute of driving like they said and it should be fine. You'd have to be really pushing a diesel for it to get that hot anyways

[@Redbikemaster]

supercowmoo3 What you are referring to is the oil 'cooking'.

[@SweMisterB]

supercowmoo3 As far as i know, most turbo powered cars actually benefit from a (short) idle before you shut them down. It's not about cooling, or cooking anything. It's about letting the turbo spin down. Modern, cheap turbos, which is what we got in 99% of all vehicles, don't actually have bearings to support the rotating parts, but instead use the oil, and oil-pressure to support the rotating center axle. When you shut down the engine, the pressure drops, and with it, the entire assembly. Fast rotating metal in direct contact with other, stationary metal, causes wear, and sooner or later the bits wear out, and so on. There still are the rare ball bearing turbo's that doesn't really suffer from this, but in general, it's a good idea to let the turbo wind down with oil-pressure. But it has nothing to do with the temperature...

[@InvisibleYetVisible]

Mr B This is one of the least educated replies I've ever read in my life. Terrific.

[@SweMisterB]

InvisibleYetVisible Funny, since we keep replacing turbos for this specific purpose. High performance turbos are still provided ball bearings, rather then oil film bearings, for the same reason turbos used to have ball bearings in the first place. Your welcome to prove me wrong, of course, but i'd hope your willing to take a few of the broken turbos we replace, and tell them they aren't really broken... Of course. If you actually had an intelligent rebut, it would have been above, so forgive me for ignoring you from hear on and out. Have a nice day.

[@marinospakioufakis5981]

I wish you could come to Greece for a video and installation of some things in my POUNTO GT1 🥰🥰🥰 love you much guys keep up the good videos 💪💪

[@TheLowriderFan]

Wow your episodes are great :D nice greetings from Germany

[@ahdennis]

Although a turbo timer is absolutely pointless, I do like the idea, especially if you can lock the car and walk off and just let it stop a few seconds later. Then you get to hear your own engine from outside more often. It strikes me as the sort of thing that'll be in modern cars, that the key just has to be in the car to use a push button start and to stop the engine you just park and when the key gets a few metres away then it stops.

[@lastmast]

It's not useless.. It saves the turbo.

[@AdamH1029]

Stuart Campbell You didn't see the bit about 20 different professionals saying that they are rubbish, did you?

[@crustychris2546]

Aidan Šeštokas they are not completely useless i am a professional they are basically for impatient people who want to flog there vehicles and shut them down immediately if you let your vehicle back to idle just for a 10 seconds it would be enough so in that case i would say they are useless and in 99% of the vehicles i have fit them to they are just a complete wank but i guess there is worse things to spend your money on

[@Metatr0n]

Aidan Šeštokas "Although a turbo timer is absolutely pointless[...]" It's funny to see how you generalize that everyone on earth has a watercooled turbo installed. Those people who don't have a watercooled turbo will suffer from carbon build-up inside the turbo and on the turbo shaft which will lead to an early death of the turbo.

[@SweMisterB]

Metatr0n watercooled or not isn't the main issue. It's about the rotation of the turbo assembly. If your car idles for a bit, the whole thing slows down, a lot. If you pull in on full revs, and shut down, your turbo is spinning like mad, and the oil-pressure goes away. Since there isn't any "bearings" in modern turbos, the oil is what keeps the assembly centered, and with no pressure, the assembly just drops down on the metal. In the long run you simply mill bits of the housing, and axle away, making your turbo in to a expensive letter weight.

[@roughcamaro]

For those who only live 5 mins away from work and drive it like we stole it, I'd roll with a turbo timer. 10$ and 20 minutes.. Plus you will have a reliable voltage readout. The hotside will glow red hot after a pull or two, shutting it off right away is not appealing to me as I want everything to cool to operating temperatures, letting that sit an extra 30/60 seconds could make the difference between failure or not on turbo's with high miles still being abused! It get's old trying to go slow or wait a few. :2cents: Pro's System cools to operating temperatures. You have an accurate digital readout of your voltage. You can set your time, and hide the whole unit, even the face plate. Only costs 10$, super easy to install. If the leading country of Forced induction puts one on every car, who has built us some of the best boosted/desired motors known to date... Why think they haven't invested research into this, as their warranty's blow any American automotive warranty out of the water!! Out of box pro Save on starter wear!!! If you deliver pizza's and don't want to leave your keys behind and it's freaking cold... Or any reason you get in and out frequently without being away for over the maximum set time. Cons Some people think they are silly? Made in China/Japan "Quality one's are Japanese" To me, 10$ is worth peace of mind.

[@zendannyy]

[@OverSoft]

Meat Amigo Who cares...

[@FateofTheFallenOFCL]

+OverSoft new they'd be 25K watch the documentary from them you'll find out why its 90K

[@DrEtzor]

+daniel krause 90 000 dollars, for a Lancer in a country that has one of highest car tax rates in world, Evo costs around 250-400 000 dollars, MCM has already made video about Singapore and how expensive the cars are there. Though, remember that 90 000 Singapore dollars are just about 62 000 USD or 88 700 Australian dollars. 62 000 USD doesn't sound that bad for a turbo Evo with A/T, i guess in U.S. the price would be around 30-40 000 for new one. Meanwhile here, an Lancer costs 60 000 euros if it's any special at all, Evo costs extra 20-30k Oh, and doesn't Evo 400 cost just 3 grands less than a Nissan GT-R?

[@kyalp22]

Do u feel it was a good idea to mod an auto. Serious question bc im thinkin of doin the same

[@Zaiyetz]

Doing that is like putting some $500 dollar sauce on a $2 tofu burger. You're going to try to improve something that isn't great anyway. You're trying to add performance to a non-performance car. I mean obviously if you want to, that's your choice and if you like it then whatever, but you'll probably get a lot of crap for it.

[@kyalp22]

Tru. I have also thought about switching the transmission but it might b to costly. I have a 2000 jetta 1.8t

[@Suikakuji]

What does being automatic have to do with his mods? Guess you don't realize automatics are faster than stick shifts (Stock vs stock\Mod vs mod), due to human speed and possible cause of error.

[@gascat100]

Suikakuji Thats not always true... maybe in a ferrari or a lambo with one of those crazy triple clutch transmissions that already has the next gear ready, run by a crazy computer... but in the average car manual is faster road speed wise (not shifting wise). Unless you suck at manual...

[@bsfibers]

[@anthonybrennan3837]

hate to say it guys but you are absolutely wrong about turbo timers being useless... in water cooled turbo applications this may be the case but not all turbos are water cooled and are only oil cooled. if you go romping around and oil temps are rising and then go to park your car, it is not good for the bearings in an oil cooled only turbo to just shut the car down, this causes coking of the bearings in the turbo, This "coking" will destroy the ability of the grease or oil to lubricate the bearing

[@ThePlasticPineapple]

First jack up your car... The most important thing to do when modding your vehicle.

[@markoprizmic7013]

Poor fella Marty , ALWAYS doin all the work .

[@InvisibleYetVisible]

Turbo Timers... it's like being back in the 80's. Turbo timers worked on cars like the Renault 5 GT mk1 where the turbo's were 100% oil cooled which means that immediately switching the car off after a drive would cause the oil pump to also switch off. The oil would stop pumping and natural heat soak would cause the oil in the turbo to burn, gel and turn into sludge. Hence, turbo failure within a few weeks. The last Renault 5 GT mk1 came off the production line in 1986!!! 198-fucking-6 guys. The MK2 released in 1987 had a watercooled turbo and has no need for this marketing gush. I doubt a turbo timer has been necessary on a car for over 20 years. Water cooled turbos obviously solved this but as well, the pump keeps running after the car switches off. Duh.

[@ThatGearHead97]

MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!! I forgot to jack up my car and ruined my flux capacitor.

[@bayonet262]

A turbo timer is completely pointless on a water cooled turbo. And any factory turbocharged vehicle doesn't have these timers for a reason because it's pointless. Just to waste your money. At most ill run my car for 30 seconds but unless your turbo is air cooled it doesnt matter.

[@elesjuan]

+mahunik This. Turbo timers are a complete waste of money, water cooled turbo or not. The actual solution is simple.. don't run teh piss out of your car then immediately shut it down.

[@gb_green4748]

You my friend you're an idiot. Do your research. Turbo timers is not to cool your turbo but let the oil cool down. If u want me to explain let me know

[@elesjuan]

GB_GREEN Or you could, you know, not run the piss out of the engine right before you shut it down? These worthless timers would cost an OEM like a dollar fifty to integrate into their cars..... but not a single OEM car comes with one. Hmm.... I wonder why?! Watercooling a turbo isn't *just* to cool the turbo either, dipshit. You're an idiot if you think these are necessary.

[@gb_green4748]

+elesjuan so you're saying that the coolant a is use to cool the oil? And you're right your vehicle was not design for racing so why you doing it. And if you are going to run your car hard the turbo timer could be useful.

[@elesjuan]

GB_GREEN Whatever dude. You're right. I know absolutely nothing about cars, engines, turbos, or thermodynamics. That's why I build engines, transmissions, turbo systems from scratch, and build / install / tune ECUs. I know nothing and you're the god of automotive knowledge.

[@BacnDesigns]

I love how the last few words of an episode about turbo timers somehow winds up being "prawn legs & egg shells" :')

[@docvegas222]

Marty loves the multimeter!

[@dregenius]

Let me make it clear that soldering connections will *always* be more reliable than crimping. Unless you plan for your wiring to get 500ºF, soldering is stronger mechanically than crimping, and is capable of carrying more current and without creating a point of high resistance. It also is not susceptible to corrosion like a crimped connector. The ONLY reason someone would prefer not to solder is if they don't know how to do it properly. Learn to solder and you'll never go back to wobbly, high-resistance and corrosion-prone crimp connections.

[@jagohurley1065]

dregenius it’s not though; heat embrittlement, solder creep. That’s why aircraft wiring is almost all crimped. It’s crimped with calibrated tooling and not a pair of rusty pliers, but it will last 30 years and millions of miles.

[@jonthompson8743]

This is a perfect application for the wankle rotary engine, due to its flooding issue at low temps. You need to heat up the car before shutting it off or it will flood. This will leave it on when you walk away solving the issue. As far as other applications its a scam.

[@thedeester100]

Hand brake function is also handy when filling up with fuel. Turn off the engine before putting on the handbrake. Saves waiting for the timer to time out if there isn't an easy off function on the timer. For this reason I wouldn't use the park position on automatic cars.

I know I'm late to the game, but the theory of a turbo timer has some validity, as in jet engines (which are just very very big turbos where the "engine" has been simplified to a burner unit) you are supposed to let the engine idle before shutoff, the metal of the turbine blades and the turbine housing/compressor blades and compressor housing are of different alloys, and because of this, their expansion rates differ, wherin the compressor/turbine blades expand/contract much more slowly than their housing. So, just for added security that the blades won't contact the housing on cooldown, you idle the engine to allow them to contract and give the housing clearance. Not sure if this principle transfers to an automotive turbo, but it at least gives it some basis in truth.

AE86s are actually really good in corners.. they have good potential :) I have actually kept up to a R32 GTR in Arthurs Seat road (melbourne) in my AE as the R32s downfall (understeer) is the AEs good qualities ! Its modified for the hill and drifting now and it does run very fast for what it is. I have beaten numerous turbo and supercharged cars and proud of it ! I'll post a video from a hillrun if you'd like :)

For YEARS I just figured if I ever had a turbo car I’d need a turbo timer. I’d always wanted a turbo but after 12 years of driving cars I finally got one. Every time I drive it, before I stop the car, I’ve been sitting in my car for a minute or two letting the oil cool. Then just a day ago I was told that most modern turbos are wet cooled and have oil cooling while running + liquid cooled while off so you don’t need to let them cool down unless it’s a track day or something. I won’t be installing a turbo timer but I will probably still wait 30 seconds or so just in case

I've seen a glowing red exhaust side on a Delica turbo diesel after a highway run. As well on older turbos with ceramic exhaust wheels, not allowing the vehicle to run for a minute or two before shut down can cause the wheel to cool down too quickly and become brittle and or crack. But like they said, a minute or two of light driving before shutting down achieves the same goals.

i like the way people have to listen to the sound of your car for another minute!

[@halo3pownage]

likewise :) and thanks my phone couldnt really pick up the tones because it was trying to cancel out some of the sound and record it at the same time, the car sounds like it has straight pipes though in person(even though its a catback)

The turbo timer in my FTO didn't have a safety cut out on the hand brake. I managed to drive half way home from work with my keys in my pocket.... when the engine cut out on the motorway all of sudden and the power steering died it was great fun.
