turbo timer: getting it to work w/alarm

I have a 94 300zx tt, with an older Viper Model Code Plus alarm, just put on a blitz turbo timer, but they won't work together. I'm wondering how to do it, maybe by hooking the turbo timer into the ignition wire further from the ignition key than the alarm is, with a diode in between. I'm guessing because I don't know much about alarms. could this allow me to manually arm the alarm while the timer is still running the engine? Another question: can I add a pager to this alarm? how/where do I get it?

to get the alarm to arm while the turbo timer is running you need to fool the alarm into thinking the car is not running most alarms will not arm if there is 12 volts on the ignition input wire of the alarm on a viper it is usually yellow or orange all you need to do is take this wire and connect it to the acc wire on the ignition harness and make sure your turbo timer is not connected to this wire so that when you turn off your car there is only 12 volts supplied to the ignition wire and not the acc wire so the alarm thinks the car is not running also check where your immobiliser is connected to if you have a fuel cut you may need to use the second output on the turbo timer to keep the immobilser energised while the turbo timer is on cause when you arm the alarm and the immobilser kicks in it will cut the fuel and the car will stall hope this helps

good idea, but it didn't work, only because it only has only one acc lead that will operate the turbo timer or the alarm, so i don't have 2 seperate ones. any ways around this? thanks
