Gizzmo Ebc + Gt3082r On Rb20 Surge Issues

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?

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
