I have the Apexi turbo timer but I don't have a harness nor the instructions. I searched and found alot of post from back in 03' and none of the answers were resolved so I thought I would post a new one. From what I did find on
the TT,

Red-power
Ign-Green
Acc-Blue

with that I was wondering what the other wires are for ? A white/brown, Grey/Brown and assuming the black/brown is ground. It is getting wiring into a s13 with the sr swap.

I went to the website and found out about the turbo timers wires....where did anyone else connect their wires ? and what colors?

i know this is from 06, but im a believer in not starting new threads, when one's already made... so, with that stated, here's my problem.

i recently had trouble with my car not wanting to start, so i unhooked my turbo timer and car alarm to eliminate potential problems. now that I have figured out the problem, i am trying to reinstall my turbo timer. the box is totally hooked up to the ecu etc, i just need to know how to hook up the couple of wires to the ignition harness. anybody?

Well the wires are already said what they are in the original post so what are you looking for? The wires on the ignition harness itself? I'm pretty sure it's as basic as color matching with the s13.

As for the white and brown wires, the white one should splice into the ebrake signal wire and the other one is I believe one that goes to the RPM signal wire on the ECU which you don't really need.

Op, sounds like it would be best for you to throw down the $10 or whatever and get the harness.

That way it is plug and play, and will save you the headache.

okay im diggin this up from the grade, but i have the tt powered up. do i need to hook up the wire for the o2? im not too sure if i have it hooked up to the right though, cause i dont get a reading for the o2. it jus stays constant 14.5 and when i try to shut down the car the tt doesnt do its count down and it just turns off.

Yea even my cheap e-bay turbo timer's wires were the same color as the one's under my steering wheel so that's prob the case - then again mine is wired correctly (checked with a multimeter) but doesn't turn on - don't buy 15$ ebay turbo timers LoL.
