Although Greddy's turbo timer is fairly simple to install, wiring
it to the ignition can be a little tricky. So, being the
informative guy that I am, I decided to write a small "how to" to
help anyone that may have a problem with it. One of the biggest
issues with turbo timers, is it's compatibility with aftermarket car
alarms.
I was able to wire Greddy's turbo timer into my brother's '95
Acura Integra in a way that would allow an alarm to function
normally.
Since most of the installation is straightforward, I'm just going
to discuss the wiring.

The effect of this wiring configuration keeps the
engine running, instrument cluster active and power accessories
active. The radio and other similar accessories are not controlled
by the timer. With this configuration, if your alarm installer uses
the signal wire from the radio, the alarm will think that the car is
off and act normally. I would suggest avoiding setting the alarm
sensitivity too high.
This wiring is good for any 5th and 6th gen civic as
well as any 3rd gen integra
