John,
According to a supplier of JDM parts HKS makes a harness for the Soarer. It's noted on both the supplier and HKS's website as a TT-5 harness (11 pin).
Greenline Motorsports (scroll down to the HKS section, near the bottom of the page)
HKS Turbo Timer Applications (scroll to JZZ30, there are two types - for the TT and the VVTi models).
Hope that helps

New Apexi TT work perfect with oem alarm

Unless you figure out some better way to wire the thing up, I would forget about the standalone turbo timer. Get a nice alarm with turbo timer and remote start. That is what I am going to do.

Perhaps the new Apexi (pencil shaped) works better or installs differently, I highly recommend it (for what it's worth, mine is hard wired).

In my instance, on a '92 SC300, the Greddy Turbo Timer I installed did not give any problems so It might depend on the year of the SC if it has issues

I have absolutely none of the issues you are listing above, zero, everything works exactly like it did prior to install. The car locks perfectly with the factory key button. My lights turn off just the way they always did. There is a better way to wire things and it must be lacking on your install.

LOL - i drug this up awhile ago looking for the turbo timer harness # that soarer 25gtt
so graciously provided to me. if you look @ the dates & responces, you'll notice i gave up.
the general consensus was that it wont work on our cars w/ the factory alarm.
now the tide is turning & many people say they have no problems. so when i get the
adaptor harness, i'll give it a shot & see what happens. its not that i couldnt hard wire
it myself, but if it wouldnt work/cause problems as i was lead to beleave. why bother?
chino where you are, sitting in the car a few minutes isnt a big deal. maybe check out a few
chicks walk'n by, enjoy the sunshine. but up here its FN COLD! nothing to look @ maybe
a tree, snow, random wildlife. 2 minutes seems like years! also i have no self control to
drive slowly/easy just before i reach my final destination.

sorry to bring this back from the dead but i found a plug and play wire harness that works. just installed a blitz TT and used the soarer harness blitz part # 51154. only downside is the harness is special order takes like 6 weeks

im just going to use one from my alarm, i think they are set for 2 min anyways, when i have time to slow down and drive for 2 min i will, if not i can always activate the turbo timer feature on my alarm and have it cool down that way, i like the idea of having less wiring and less gizmos here and there while being able to achieve the same thing. Get a aftermarket alarm with the turbo timer feature.

You guys do realize that turbo timers are pretty much a waste of money right? Before you go on a "this guy is nub" fiend, read this, it pretty much sums it up.
