ok.. i've decided to go turbo with a 99 gs (stage 2 hrc)
what kind of fluids should i put in my car? what mods should i do to ensure my engine's longevity? whats is a turbo timer.. and what does it do?

thanks

Fuilds... nothing etxra special to do here... Personally I used syntheic Oil (Mobil 1). If you are getting a FMIC (front-mount intercooler) that will block a lot of air going to your radiator, then you might want to add some "Redline Water Wetter". It basically helps keep the water temps down. I never used it, and I never had a problem.

A "turbo timer" is really nothing more than a timer that you plug into your car's ignition. What it happens is that when you turn the key off for your car, the Turbo timer keeps the engine running for a little while (you can set it to whatever you want)
so that the turbo has a chance to cool down (fans blowing, oil flowing through it).

You could do the exact same thing as a turbo timer by simply sitting in the car for a minute or two after parking and letting it run before you turn it off.

So why get a turbo timer? Convenience! Scenario: Late for work, but you have to cool your engine down.. Just turn the car off, let the turbo timer take over, lock the car and leave with peace of mind.

Unless, your alarm is wired to open the door locks when the power to the ignition is killed.. i.e. turbo timer shuts motor off... I have to wait for mine to shut off then I can arm my car and walk away feeling secure... atleast until I have my alarm set up correctly to work with the turbo timer...
