Experience With The Gizzmo Ms-ibc Ebc Or Hdi's Ebcs

[Moodles2]

I haven't been able to find much info about people's experiences with the Gizzmo MS-IBC or HDI's EBC's, I've been planning to put an EBC on my R32 GTR (only want 14psi for now) but I have yet to read reviews or personal experiences with either. I understand both company's use a single solinoid, and shouldn't be compared with the older japanese EBCs that are single solinoid.. or should I be ignoring the above 2 mentioned company's EBCs and get a dual solinoid based EBC?

i have has experience with the gizzmo. installed it on my brothers car which has a hks3037 holds 18 psi no worries... very user friendly..

also very stealthy looking as the solinoid is not that big. compared to my blitz dual solinoid......

i would recommend 1..........

Ive used them as well with no problems at all, very basic to setup and works extreemly well.

I have had an ms-ibc in my r33 s2 for over 12mnths now and would recomend it to anyone.was told by a reputable tuner her in brisbane that they wern't that good,until i installed it myself and let him have a play with it,he was shocked at how much they had improved from previous versions which did not have any duty cycle ajustments.This product was so easy to set up that he didn't change any of the settings that I put in myself even after he ran it up on the dyno(I self tuned on the road took about an hour to do all 6 boost levels).This car is driven as a daily driver by my wife and I set levels of boost for driving in very adverse conditions through to all out thrash mode and have knothing but "fun "since.Holds all levels of boost consistantly with no spiking and brings on the boost up to 1000-1500 rpm ealier than standard solinoid.Another advantage that I have found is that both the solinoid and the cotroll unit are small enough to hide away so the powers to be can't find them(have been pulled up a few times and they still havn't discovered it yet Ha HA HA take that.So do touself a favour chech out "GIZMO'S' web site it is very informative,these units are very well priced also lol.

I have a Gizzmo, it does a great job, even though I give it a hard time by using too small of a wastegate, and too much boost.

One of my mates also has one running 30psi of boost, on a T51r. External gate though.

Really easy to hook up too.

[bumble_bee]

well..i just bought a Hdi sbc type-d boost controller...of hdi on SAU...

i believe its a dual solenoid...??

but i just got it lik 3 days ago..

havent got it running rit, as of yet..

but i do got a topic open..

and hoping someone can suggest on how to help me fix my problem..

but other than that..

it seems so far like a VERY VERY VERY good money for valve & performance part for any turbo car

simple and easy to install..

[Moodles2]

Thanks, based on the replys about the Gizzmo unit I've just brought one, $250 if anyone else is interested: http://www.modyourcar.com.au/gizzmo-msibc-...ontroller-p5327

^^ yup same one i bought few days ago for my 32R.. let me know how u go with tuning it.. trent @ status tuning in one of the post highly recommended the unit and found unit to be as good to highly recommended blitz units in back to back testing.. there is also the faq/installation of the unit by one of the import shops on the web

Hey moodles thanks im just in the process of buying that puppy! haha. only thing is that they dont accept credit cards for international orders. damit.

Anyone know of any other site that sells the msibc cheap?

[(OO)Firty Free(OO)]

I'm running the Gizzmo IBC with four settings for Boost/Gain and can't speak more highly of the unit. Very easy to install and the actuator is quite compact compared to Blitz etc.

thats the cheapest by long-shot, ebay does have unit on sale from time to time which costs around $300 new

[Ultimategtr]

Yeh i had a skim through other websites. Its ok cos i managed to negotiate the deal with them. They sending it across the ditch for 280 all up inc shipping! Dam thats cheap.

Local websites sell it for $499!

[SirRacer]

Ray Carter from Gizzmo is a really good guy to deal with me and was even responding to questions on boxing day about my IBC.

Im yet to have it completely sorted yet, but start with the gain setting on 0 and work up from there. I havent spent too much time playing with mine as yet but it still seems to be spiking. I'll get it done on the dyno as im having issues getting enough straight road to unleash third gear for an extended period of time.

i rekon they are crap from my past experiences. Thing would always boost creep on high boost. Low boost (12psi ) was fine

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

blitz ebc (dsbc) is untouchable, simple as that the best curves i see day in day out are always from dual solenoid blitz boost controllers, the profec b is still a very good controller as is the gizzmo.

+1

"Past experience" was this with the earlier model as it had poor spike control and no duty cycle adjustments,I had the same comment from my tuner untill he saw the new version I installed,he has now changed his opinion on these controllers.(by the way my tuner is a well known and respected drag race engine builder,racer and tuner here in brisbane he is know considering using one in his 650hp supra)

[R33GOD]

yeah it was the first ones that came out

i did a comparison a while back on IBC vs BLITZ vs HKS etc and the IBC held its own against all the others and in fact was better than the HKS EVC (latest version)... i will try find the post as i had dyno graphs etc...

i try and keep all the gizzmo controllers in stock as they are the BEST bang for buck around, and many cant afford the BLITZ DSBC.

Gizzmo are operating out of Melbourne now. I think they relocated from NZ a few years back?
