ok, so me and my friend were going to add a Greddy turbo timer to his RX-8

but, we don't know which wires go where
the ground is obvious, but we don't know which wires are what

in the diagram, there's the 12v connection, the ACC and the ON switch


we have no idea which wire is which and the two connectors and as some of u know there are stripped wires

so, we need the 12V connection, the ACC and the ON switch



then theres something about one wire going to the spedometer or something

 

Check this thread. "zoomzoom8" DIY, I haven't done mine yet.

 

If that's the steering column on the left then you're looking at the wrong set of connectors for starters. As with most things did you search the forums first?

wait, so ur saying that i did the wrongs set of connectors???


i didn't search in the forums, i was doing this last night, and the server kept acting wierd


ummm, so any actual pics of the wires that ur suposed to connect to, i have pics

 

messy pics


i stripped the wires, this is ametuer work


the yellow with teh black stripe and then theres the solid yellow that i used for the 12v and the ON thingy



and thats where the alarm thing is


the solid yellow with the black stripe that should be the ACC

 

doesn't GReddy offer a wire harness that goes with the turbo timer?

 

Yeah They do offer a wire harness but we wanted to do it this way to conserve time for waiting for the harness and saving money this way. I hope that someone would give me some tips

 

Allow me to repeat myself: SEARCH THE STUPID FORUM.

dude...you would've saved more time by just buying the harness. you're wasting time tryin' to figure out which wire does what. now you just have a messed up stock harness.

take my advice...put everything back together and buy yourself a harness for the turbo timer. i've installed plenty of turbo timers and everytime i do it, i tell them to get the harness. saves you a lot of headaches. and who know's the wire splicing you have done might not hold up too well.

 

I installed mine last weekend and it works flawlessly. If you follow the DIY on PURNRG's site, it is a breeze. The only tricky part is reaching the wires to install the bypass. Seriously though, just search around. The truth is out there.

 

Greddy has a turbo timer harness for the RX-8? When I talked with them they said they had no plans to produce one. Generally companies that make turbo timers only make harnesses for cars that have OEM turbos.

You're right. I checked into it, and its not available. They "make" harnesses, just not for us.

 

Hey I just want to thank everyones help on this..
