Default auto shut off switch?

I know this may be a little off topic but im not sure whre else to post this. does anybody know where i can purchase a autoshut off timer switch? Or if they even exist. I want a setup kind of likea turbo timer on a turbo car only instead of having my entire engine running i want it to tun my electric waterpump and both fans for about ten minutes after i shut the car off. this is for when i go to the drag strip so it has plenty of time to cool down really quick between runs. I dont wan tto go with an actual turbo timer cause they hook up to the ignition and i dont want my whole motor running. can anyone help me out?

Check out the PAC TR-7. It has many uses, but one of them is to retain accessory power after you shut off the ignition. Usually you use it to by-bass a video safety feature, but in your case, you can set a delay time for the switched power to the accessories to stay on for 15 minutes once you turn off the car.

if you are handy with a soldering iron you could make your own delay circuit:
