Just kidding! It's gonna be awhile before I actually install it, still gathering parts and researching.

I picked up an old-ass HKS Timer for a six-pack of Bass Ale today and wondering if anyone has any idea where the wires go. I figured out the ground, but thats it.


Please don't laugh too hard, I'm going for a "retro" theme with my interior gauges. The connector is a three prong and has a red, blue and green wire running back to the timer. There's also a grey wire running from timer with a female connector on the end. Any ideas?

Mine still makes no boost, I think it needs a bigger IC pipes

That HKS turbo timer is a relic,you should see if HKS will buy it back from you so they can put it on display in their museum.

Exhondaman 03-14-2007 07:26 PM

Haha, don't tell me, you installed the charge pipe backwards and on the inlet side.. nice.

It's ok though, I'm an ex Honda owner too:

Do you miss yours sometimes? :sadwavey:

i think spike laid it out pretty good. but if you want to confirm the stuff. slap a multimeter down there and check the voltages.

i think when i installed my apexi one, i used the search function here and found some good information too.

VRTSid 03-16-2007 12:07 AM

getsidewaysd1 03-16-2007 02:56 PM

Oh, BTW exhondaman. I Love your paint color. Whats it called and where did you get it?

Exhondaman 03-16-2007 05:18 PM

^Thanks. Rattle can Krylon Olive Drab Satin exterior, Rustoleum Army Green Enamel interior. Waiting for the next shipment of cans from the local Walmart cause I bought the last 8 cans. Still needs another coat or so. More pics and info: http://clubroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6653


As for the HKS timer, thanks for the info but I'm still confused about this:


wires for the ignition harness for miata.

white=b+
blue=1g1
black/red=1g2
black/white=acc

I don't see anymore wires coming from the antiquidated timer. I'm I missing something?

And sid, that rocks. "Hey man, is that an old clock on your dash?"

spike 03-16-2007 05:34 PM

^ you need to cut the plug off the turbo timer.
