Installed my gizzmo ms-ibc yesterday, found it easy to install (I have never installed an EBC before), tuning i've experimented alittle, solinoid small and very easy to hide, the builtin boost gauge is pretty accurate (once i figured out how to switch it to psi readout). Very happy with it so far

hey mate, got any pics of your install?? is it hooked up near actuators or to the black box near brake booster on firewall?? im looking at doing the same shortly..

Brake booster, the black box is for stock boost guage, I Tee'd it off there (there are better places)

i paid $345 for my HDi SBC-D-EVOLUTION which includes a guage (digital and analogue display) that runs of the controller no more seperate vac line for ebc and guage. come with everything except double sided tape to mount the contoller.

it is a simple set up (thats why is a cheap price) using 2 knob to adjust the low and high boost and 2 bottons, one to select between high and low boost, and the other for an optional products. high boost runs the anti lag feature. it has no problem holding 16psi on my car give or take .2 of a psi. works well on track (continuous reving/ holding car on limiter) and on the street. the only down side it the gauge is to bright at nite...

The gizzmo MSIBC has pretty much become my house boost controller, it is dead stable and half the price of a BLITZ spec-r (THE BEST CONTROLLER on the market unquestionably) @ $299 retail it is a steal.

Im pretty sure the worlds fastest GTST runs one too.

Hi there,

Would it be possible to get an update on how it's running, no issues etc :action-smiley-069:

ok guys I have the gizzmo MS-2 I'm pretty sure its almost the same as the MS-ibc ... though mine seems to be a newer one brushed gold finish, I'm just wondering when you guys adjust the duty cycle percentage how much does it raise the boost by say every per 10%, I have a feeling something is wrong with mine as I'm increasing it by like 20% just to get a lousy 1psi increase ? am I missing something here... I thought the manual that came with it was rubbish lol

i must be the only guy on sau wit an hdi boost controller... :(

price update..the gizzmo ebc went up to $299 on the modyourcar website...

I've had my hdi ebc-r for about 6 months now. Unfortunately the car is in the shop now because it's been running like a pig. According to my tuner, the boost controller has fried and causing the car to run infinity boost, i.e waaaay past 12psi, more like 25psi (on stock turbo) and causing all sorts of problems now. I'll be contacting HDi shortly. Not happy.

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
