hello all, i purchased a turbo timer online for a very cheap price, however i didnt realise it was 24 volt, can i still hook it up to my 12 volt car? my mate said i can but the timing may be a little out??? or is there a small power suply i can buy to fit under the dash to run this???

for some really really strange reason, i dont think this belongs in the CAASQ discussion forum...maybe you need to have it moved to the "Garage"..
pm a mod....

12 to 24 volt converters are made but for the price you could probably buy a new 12v turbo timer
sorry

what's the current draw on the turbo timer?
if < 300mA, a $20 solution here:

2nd hand turbo timers of a no name brand go for $20 or 30.

Also I'd make sure whatever it outputs is only 12v too, might hurt stuff if it starts injecting 24v in ignition or whatever :/
Sorry for my vauge post heh.
