You know what I think I understand what you wrote down. Il chime in tomorrow. So aux1 output form compustar goes to 85. With cathodes towards 86 like befor.Could not have done anything without HOWIE II.

OK, point taken, know what you're saying about that roll-bar, I've worked on racers/rally cars, I always had to get to them before the roll-bar went in. I like what you've done with the stereo, good thinking; the factory position is rubbish. You can use the supplied relay, it probably even has the diode built in. What you will be doing is to cut the ignition instead of the starter wire, make sure the supplied relay has 5 terminals. The 90 seconds I quoted is nominal; it's also the longest time I would use so what you suggested is fine.

Sorry I should have added that the way I said to wire that relay should enable you to set the turbo timer, remove the key, engine still running, arm and lock the car, timer will shut down automatically at the end of that time.

Yes the factory position of the stereo is horrible. LOL I Did that befor they started bringing double dins out. My plan is to one day to cut the dash again and use a double din set up. How will I know if the relay has a built in diode, The Clifford diode that I used for the door motors had an exposed diode between 85-86. Also How would I go about figuring out which is key side and ignition side. I could not have learned this much without your help! Ok its really late over here Need some sleep.Could not have done anything without HOWIE II.

There are relays available with a built in diode but specialist and not available to the general public. They would have a relay icon stamped on a "circuit diagram" on the side of the housing, other wise you will physically see it across the base. I'm about to email you some photos, I never seem able to download properly to here!

Thank you, That was great read. I feel alot more at ease now, its easier to understand what your doing when you actually understand the mechanical workings behind it. If you notice on the Clifford Relay the Cathode on the diode is facing 85 instead of 86 or am I wrong? Aren't I suppose to wire up the diode line towards 86 then 85. Once again I cant stop thanking you. Il have to pay-pal you some beer money.Could not have done anything without HOWIE II.

85 and 86 are generally interchangeable, except the international convention states that 85 is the neg. and 86 the pos. side of the coil, also relays with an inbuilt diode will therefore have 85 as the neg. It doesn't matter which way round as long as the cathode faces the pos. side of the coil.

Dam so i go to use the compustar supplied relay. And out of luck it was a four prong 40a With the 87 cut. Will have to resume the project tomorrow after I buy a new relay. Il be able to control how long the turbo timer is with my 2way right.Could not have done anything without HOWIE II.

Yes, use aux 1 or trunk release. See my email.

Hey guys, Just wanted to give you an update. Didn't have much time to finish things up. So far Today I got the siren and hood pin mounted. Had to make custom bracket for the hood pin. I placed the horn in the trunk by a the air vent( its there so when you close your doors ina convertable the air inside has somewhere to escape) . The reason why i placed it in my trunk is, my hardtop extends over the trunk and in order to open my trunk you would need to take the rear portion of the hardtop off. Two reasons why I mounted it there are 1) Loud outside and inside the cabin 2) inaccessible by thief in short time. The longer part of any wire install I find is making everything look like its stock and suppose to be there. So thats where I am today. Hopefully will have most of the wire hiding done by tomorrow. Howard, I carefully re read the compustar manual and inorder for me to adjust turbo timer Id need the op500. I guess I wont be installing the turbo timer untill I find a shop who will allow me to use theirs and program my special options. Thanks everyone. On a side note I have a question regarding my back up camera. When the car is just on acc and not on it works fine. When my car is on longer then 3 minutes the camera will start to blink on the screen almost like its resetting its self. When the car is off the camera gets 11v when the car is running its closer to 13 where the camera get its power. Do you think it has to do with voltage?Could not have done anything without HOWIE II.
