Peanut92 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hey guys First time I've decided to join the page as I actually have a skyline now. Finally.... Only took 20 years Anyways Here's my dilemma. Anyone who has the same ebc could really point me in the right direction Not sure if there are different gizzmo ibc's but I looked up a manual and seems pretty bang on I have a 32 gtst and its running around 10-11 point on both setting 3 and 4 now these were preset by the last owner Setting 1 and 2. The first one has no boost pressure flash when you select it (showing max boost). 00.0. So as guessed. It over boosted on these settings I had a fiddle around with the duty cycle (by holding in the top button). No help. Cracked 21 psi at one stage. I know I know. But it's kind of hard to do it while the cars just taking off into the sky's So I figured ill hold the top button on the 3rd setting (showing 10.8 max. And whilst driving a max of 9.8. Which is odd) and the duty cycle was 10 aswell but no over boost? Maybe this just shows 10 every time you enter this mode? Well the 4th setting shows a max of 11psi. I'm getting close to that on te guage. But on the gizzmo says I'm getting around 9.6. Possibly because the guage may be somewhere else in the engine bay. Which would make sence And I do notice the pressure drop ever so slightly sometimes (possible leak I guess) remembering I've only owned the car a week cut me some slack I will go over everything when I get the chance. Also when I hold the bottom button to set the gain. It flashes the 00.0. But neither buttons do anything So what do you gues think this could be? Any help is appreciated And hope to meet you guys soon on a cruise or meet up Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/421309-gizzmo-ibc-first-timer-problemcannot-figure-this-out-greeting-all-in-one/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touge Kyousou Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Please do not fiddle with the EBC if you're not too sure - unless you want to break the engine (i'm assuming it's stock motor as you haven't mentioned otherwise).The EBC is displaying a little higher than what you're seeing because that's the highest peak it's ever seen - possibly from the previous owner or yourself driving it one cold night and getting a slight boost spike from the denser/cooler air. It sounds like only profile 3 and 4 is setup on the ms-ibc so please stick with those profiles.

Peanut92 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Yeah I figured. I didn't pump the car etc I'm fairly mechanically minded and have built a couple of cars in the past but I've only ever used mechanical boost tees and the old hpi controller which was adjustable by the knob and worked the same (although it was horrible) Basically one I seen it pass the 14 mark (where I thought I had boost set. But Aparently I set the duty cycle) I backed off as I knew it would over boost. Also only had it in 4th with hardly any throttle Haven't touched it since until I can sus it out properly Anyone on here could direct me in how it works Or possibly meet somewhere in the campbelltown - Liverpool area ( I'm heading out to Liverpool mega centre Krispy kremes now) Or a southern highlands person like me Let me know. Keen to make a few more friends with skylines Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/421309-gizzmo-ibc-first-timer-problemcannot-figure-this-out-greeting-all-in-one/#findComment-6777831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touge Kyousou Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Could you rephrase what you wanted to know ? I read your first post again but not entirely sure what you're asking haha (am tired after a long day though hrm). Things that may help you about this ebc though (yours is the ms-ibc yes?) If the other profiles haven't been set, you shouldn't be overboosting as the duty cycle would be set to ten, and the gain set to 0.. meaning the ebc will hardly be working at all. So effectively your setup should be running at almost wastegate pressure on any profile that hasn't been touched. As to how the unit works, you can't specify a psi with the unit. You can only set the duty cycle which will directly affect the boost level. The higher the duty cycle, the higher the boost. This manual should help heaps if you haven't seen it yet. http://www.gizzmoelectronics.com/pdf/MS-IBC%20Instruction%20PDF%20Ver1.01.pdf Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/421309-gizzmo-ibc-first-timer-problemcannot-figure-this-out-greeting-all-in-one/#findComment-6777925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut92 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Ill break it down in short When I go to "change" the duty cycle by holding button 1. While I'm in profile 3 and 4. It still shows 10. But profile 1 and 2. Over boost while also set on 10 Other issue is when I hold button 2. To adjust gain. It flashes 00.0. And neither button does anything Also I think it's just an ibc. Not ms. As it doesn't go up to 50 psi. And only has 4 profiles not 6 This is the one I believe I have http://www.gizzmoelectronics.com/pdf/IBC%20Instruction%20Ver1.06.pdf Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/421309-gizzmo-ibc-first-timer-problemcannot-figure-this-out-greeting-all-in-one/#findComment-6778760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut92 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Ok so after not really getting any clear information of my friends I tried playing with profile 1 and 2 as 3 and 4. Seem to work fine. Running just under 10 psi I tried doing the opposite. And working back from the highest setting. Still over boosts The gain cannot be adjusted. I notice when I set my desired duty cycle it makes a funny noise in the engine bay. If I set it on 10 or close to like 11 it's a very short noise. But it is continuous if its 20 of over Could it be possible that the controllers just shagged?

Peanut92 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Found out that noise is coming from the solenoid Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/421309-gizzmo-ibc-first-timer-problemcannot-figure-this-out-greeting-all-in-one/#findComment-6786026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut92 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Ok so I got it working and the gain seems to work Went up in 2 point intervals. From 10 duty cycle then using 20. Doesn't really make much difference. Maybe 2 psi. It's not showing on the boost guage much difference. I might bump it up again What should I be setting the gain to Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/421309-gizzmo-ibc-first-timer-problemcannot-figure-this-out-greeting-all-in-one/#findComment-6786028 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut92 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Are they a bit easier to use? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/421309-gizzmo-ibc-first-timer-problemcannot-figure-this-out-greeting-all-in-one/#findComment-6786203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 No, just get a manual (mechanical ball and spring) controller, they are $30-$50. Set and forget.

Peanut92 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Yeah I usually use manual ones. That way no problems. (Generally) But seeing as the car already had this already. That's why I've played with it but yeah sused it all out now.
