HKS Turbo Timer Type 0

In 1982 HKS introduced the world’s first Turbo Timer to assist in cooling

down the turbocharger to prevent oil coking in the center bearing cartridge assembly.

Oil "coking" occurs when a turbocharger is not properly cooled down

and the oil that normally lubricates the center cartridge heats up and

forms solidified oil deposits. A turbo timer allows an engine to idle

for a preset amount of time after the ignition key has been turned to

the off position and removed. By allowing a turbocharged engine to idle,

oil continues to pass through the turbo until it has cooled down to the

point where oil "coking" will not occur. Re-designed for 2008,

the all new Turbo Timer Type-0 and Type-1 feature a new,

slim low profile design with a separate LCD display and control

unit following the same design concepts as the current HKS EVC

and A/F Knock Amp.

The Turbo Timer Type-0 features a red LCD backlit display for easy visibility,

2 timer modes, and a battery voltage meter with a peak value indication

and warning function.
