GU Turbo timer

Post by RUFF »

A mate of mine has just bought a 4.2 Turbo GU and cant find a Turbo timer that will work in it. The timer will only run for a short time(20-30sec) then it just cuts out. He has now been told that it is not possible to install a Turbo Timer on a Turbo GU as it effects one of the computers and shuts the vehicle down.

Has anyone had this problem? Or does anyone know a brand of Timer that will work?

i heard something about this broblem a while ago, the person was saying that you have to get a genuine nissan turbo timer as it will interact with the computers and allow things to function normallly,

What brand of timer does he have?

i have used the boguard(i think) timer on the old mans RD28t GUand it was a straight forward plug in.

(925GU) LWB models & C/C with factory sub tank - Y61 with 6 pin Connector - $209.00

(925NIS) C/C Models without factory subtank - Y60 with 5 pin Connector
- $209.00

Fitting $64.00,
Total $273.00

My guess is to tell the ARB dealer that "a mate got it for $250.00 from you guys and I want the same price",

good tactics [=
Thanks,

One of my friends has suggested me one thing. I need to search online when I’ve got a problem on my GU turbo timer. Probably, this would help you—xxx.exploroz.com/Forum/Topic/.../Turbo_Timer_for_GU_II.aspx.

Why not just run an EGT guage instead. You'd be surprised how few times you actually need to idle down a diesel.
