 | | Rating: |   | | Reviews: | 2 (Write A Review) | | Product: | A'PEXi Timer | | Manufacturer: | A'PEXi www.apexi.com | | Details: | The Apex Auto Timer allows the vehicle to idle for a preset amount of time after the ignition key has been removed. In turbocharged vehicles this prevents hot oil in the engine from coking up in the lines. Hard driving can raise engine oil temperatures to dangerously high levels. Proper cool down is essential for a healthy turbo and engine. In normally aspirated cars, the Auto Timer can also be used to warm/cool the inside of the car without having to sit inside. The Auto Timer stands as a technological marvel. The pen shaped, compact size makes the Auto Timer one of the smallest turbo timers on the market. This allows a clean and stylish installation virtually anywhere inside the car. The unique multi angle joystick button allows easy navigation through the many feature menus. Upgraded in every way from the previous model, the new Auto Timer can automatically determine the necessary amount of after idling time. A Manual Mode allows the user to preset desired idling times from 0 sec.~10 minutes in 16 increments. By inputting O2 sensor voltage, the Timer can also display theoretical air fuel ratio. Since the Auto Timer uses the factory O2 sensor which is primarily designed for emissions, the readings may not be as accurate when the O2 sensor is cold. A'PEX recommends that the O2 sensor readings be compared to a high grade "tuning" O2 sensor for comparison. The Timer can also display critical data such as O2 sensor voltage and Battery Voltage. To prevent potential theft while running, the handbrake safety feature shuts off the vehicle when the handbrake is released without the ignition key. | | Views: | 446 |  | | Broken link?

Does it's job with little drama. | | Dislikes: Instructions were in Japaneese. | | Other Comments: Install was easy due to numerous write-ups on the web. Mine was a factory turbo car, though, so your mileage may vary. | | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
| Name: NinjaPerformance | | Location: Wisconsin | | Date Reviewed: 2/8/03 - 2:17PM | | Bought From: Options Auto Salon | | Price Paid: $90.00 | | Application: 2000 Civic | | MODs: Secret... | Likes: - Small; I can put it almost anywhere.
- Red LED makes it easier to see (day or night.)
- Cool features such as A/F and battery voltage.
- Pretty competitive price.
- Apexi quality. | Dislikes: - Not too easy to install if you don't know which wires to tap.
- I have to wait for engine to turn off before I can use my keyless entry (many other timers have same problem.) I believe there is a solution, but it requires time.
- Does not have quarter mile timers and such, but I don't need or care for those so ... yea. | Other Comments: - I'm sticking with this turbo timer. It's very good and small.
- This one time my battery died. With the help of the battery voltage feature on the timer, I was able to conclude that the battery was low. (I can tell if the battery is low even without it, but it helps.)
- Take note: The instructions are only for factory turbo cars; however, they do tell you what wires need to be tapped. You just have to know where they are on your car. | Value Rating: Overall Rating:  |
