The number one cause of turbo failure is oil "coking". 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 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. In 1982 HKS was the first company to offer a commercially available turbo timer, and has since been the leader in turbo timer technology.
The HKS Turbo Timer Type-0 is a basic turbo timer that features an auto mode that adjusts engine idle time according to the most recent driving pattern, multiple preset times, audible alarms and a volt meter. The easy to read back-lit digital LCD display flashes between orange and red during the countdown The Type-0 is ultra compact, less then a 1/4 din in size and available in a black or silver case.
The Industry's First! ※Based on HKS' internal research.
Turbo Timer for the vehicles equipped with push-start ignition.
Recently, as the number of vehicles equipped with compact and high efficiency turbochargers has been increasing, the superiority of a turbocharger gains attention again.
"Compact and high efficiency turbocharger" rotates approximately at 160,000rpm, and the exhaust air temperature sometimes reaches approximately 800℃ under the high-speed rotation.
After-idling is a must for a sport car and/or tuned car. "Compact and high efficiency turbocharger" is also exposed to severe environment like a boost-up tuned turbocharged vehicle.
HKS Turbo Timer Push Start Type-0 is different from a conventional turbo timer; controlling CPU managing Body CPU enables this product available for those vehicles equipped with compact and high efficiency turbochargers and push-start ignition.
- Management of Battery Environment
In addition to basic turbo timer functions, "Battery voltage display" function manages a battery for a vehicle that is facing severe environment with a light-weighted and downsized battery for better fuel efficiency. - Convenient Improvement by New Automatic Door Lock Function
When using a conventional turbo timer, the door must be locked using a mechanical key during after-idling, but with HKS Turbo Timer Push Start Type-0, the timer controls the door lock. This function enables a user to leave the car with the A/C working even after locking the door.
- Flexible Installation by Separated Units
The separated compact display unit and control unit increase a degree of freedom for installation. The control unit is a black-based flat acrylic panel that is matched with the appearance of a stock cockpit. - Handbrake Sensor Safety Circuit to Ensure Safety
Sensing the handbrake's condition prevents the vehicle from moving while Turbo Timer is working.

Manual 1 & 2 Mode (enables to set the after-idling time.)
Set time: 0-10mins (at the interval of 10 sec) - Battery Voltage Indicator:
Indication of the battery voltage, peak value, and warning function's ON/OFF status. - Automatic Door Lock Function:
The door is locked by Turbo Timer since the key-lock does not function during after-idling. This function is optional. Set time: 1-10 sec. (at the interval of 1 sec.)
