hey guys, got myself one of these gizzmo ms-ibc boost controllers for my 33 but can't get it to boost! have wired it up correctly but no matter what i set the duty cycle to, the boost remains the stock 5psi, makes me think theres problem with the solenoid not closing and it's just the stock wastegate opening up when i hit 5psi, have tried most things, but can't get around it, does anyone know how i can check the solenoid operation?

also when i recieved it, the remote button that came with it wouldn't work and was wired incorrectly at the loom at the back of the controller, which i corrected and now the button works fine, makes me think the solenoid may be wired wrong also, does anyone have a picture of the solenoid loom that plugs in the back of the controller? and also where have people installed these, thinking bout putting it in the ashtray, if i can get it to boost! looks like a fantastic and easy to use unit, but i'm getting frustrated! any help is greatly appreciated.

You can check the solenoid by simply putting power and earth to it, it should start clicking away like mad, i have seen this problem before and ended up being the processor, gizzmo were extremely helpfull and replaced the unit

So just double check your wiring (espeacially at the back of the processor)

Check that when there is power to the solenoid it does in fact cycle (click like mad)

And if still when you got to set higher boost you do not hear the solenioid cycle, the problem will be with the processor, return to place of purchase or contact gizzmo direct.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
