We review the latest generation of HKS turbo timers.In 1982, HKS Japan released a small, rather unusual- looking box, referred to as a turbo timer to the consumer market. The HKS turbo timer was the first commercialized timer specifically designed for auto- mobiles and sold to the general public in Japan. This simple yet effective electronic gizmo, which consisted of a gray box with four push buttons, was designed to keep the car at idle for a pre-specified period. With a simple push of the button and a shutoff of the ignition, the timer would begin a time-sequenced countdown before finally shutting the engine off as a means to initiate engine cooldown and keep fresh oil streaming through the turbo's center-bearing cartridge to prevent premature wear or damage. As technological advancements in the automotive industry have grown over the years, the HKS turbo timer has also evolved. HKS released a ninth generation turbo timer design, offering a sleeker, more-advanced product that promises to set a new standard in high-performance electronics.
