i've got one myself but its been so long since i used it i cant remember which bit does what.

i've got one myself but its been so long since i used it i cant remember which bit does what.
I have one but couldn't get the autotimer bit working because of the signal from the O2 sensor (just get 3 dashes), the manual mentions this happens with some makes of car/sensor.
I personally set a 30 second timer and if I've been hoofing it then manually increase by moving the lever up after switching the ignition off.
The AFR readout (second display down) is next to useless when driving as being numerical it's very hard to see what is going on. I guess at WOT you can see if things are steady from a fuel pump/regulator point of view (ish).
The other features such as the battery voltage is kindof OK.

its a doddle to install and work that apexi
the instructions are on teh usa site for apexi
cos its not got a "wide band" on the R some of the features on the apexi unit wont work when driving etc,
all you want it for is battery voltage and use as a timer

got one of these little gizmo's 
.
wired it all in no probs, and the a/f ratio reads off mine ok. sometimes goes on and off a bit, but when cruisin at steady throttle (when the lambda is workin) it reads steadily around 14:1 this drops down past 10:1 when accelerating.
not sure about the auto timing function tho, seems a bit irratic on my motor, but like Paul R sais just toggle the time up/down to suit.

its cos its not wide band lamber hence wont work correctly

:roll:
youve got the same turbo timer! lol
anways you just watch the numbers go round
but least your car isnt broken

cu saturday , there maybe an RX here too and another R by the looks of it

You actually get a reading (on the first selection)? Did you change the settings from the default? I very occasionally get a reading when the car is on idle just after starting but then it drops to 10.1 sits there for a few seconds and then '---'. I guess because the sensor gets pre-heated at turn over but there isn't enough heat generated at other times.ram5ay said:
The wideband/narrowband doesn't matter in this case, yep the reading from the narrowband sensor is next to useless but a mate has the same timer on a Starlet GT Turbo and that uses a narrowband sensor, his gets readings all the time.

excellent cheers for the info & thanks for the link si, i did try a google search but couldnt find it?
installed it a while ago just wondered what all the buttons do

Good luck with the timer instructions JON, took me a while to try an decipher them, still not to sure about some stuff tho :? , hope you get it all sussed.
The settings on the timer are still as factory spec.
Yeh I get a pretty good reading on the first selection, it does randomly either go above 10:1 or below 20:1 and just display ---, dont know why tho, but it happens pretty often. Think it may be to do with the speed at which the sensor signal changes/switches. The timer wire going to the ecu needs to have a really good contact (soldered), I also cleaned the sensor a while back which might help a bit with the signal.Paul R said:
