Hey guys,

I've had my car running a gt3040 + gizzmo ebc (non MS) for about a year now.

Holds boost well, given the turbo is known for surging...

While reading the forums i read up a bit on setting the gain closer to the boost level, bringing boost on faster etc.

Seems simple enough, so i gave it a test - however find that it spikes really really bad!

E.g if i set my boost to be 14psi its fine with gain at 0, but if i have gain at 13psi it spikes bad then jumps back and forward between about 12 and 16 psi :(

What im looking to know is what gain people use on their gizzmo's - is it -1psi from the max boost as the manual states? - if so do you have this similar problem?

Which gizmo uni u got? the MSIBC or the IBC?

I have the msibc and the rule of thumb was NOT to have the gain the same or higher then the duty cycle..

eg with the stock turbo/actuator i ran 25 gain and 30 d/c and it gave me around 8psi (i think).

If you set the gain the same as the d/c or higher, you WILL get creep/surge issues - Why, i dont know. I think its just how fast the actuator opens/closes the gate.

What is the setting on ur controller when u get surging? ie d/c, gain..

Also, youre running closed loop i presume?

Running the IBC, not MSIBC as stated

Gain is set in PSI amounts, D/C is set in values between 1-100 or whatnot to open and close the solinoid at the set intervals.

So in this case the D/C is a value of 62 giving 14psi, and gain is a value of '13' - 1psi away from the max boost under the given D/C (14psi) - so -

DC = 62

Gain = 13

The IBC doesnt allow you to set the gain higher than the set boost limit and as a result you cant set the gain untill the D/C is done and set with a boost level.

It only allows to be as close as 1psi to it, never past it and never the same - only ever below it.

So any other ideas?

How do i know if its closed loop?

    • I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.
    • Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...
    • Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it
    • A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
