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

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.

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.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
