I haven't been able to find much info about people's experiences with the Gizzmo MS-IBC or HDI's EBC's, I've been planning to put an EBC on my R32 GTR (only want 14psi for now) but I have yet to read reviews or personal experiences with either. I understand both company's use a single solinoid, and shouldn't be compared with the older japanese EBCs that are single solinoid.. or should I be ignoring the above 2 mentioned company's EBCs and get a dual solinoid based EBC?

i have has experience with the gizzmo. installed it on my brothers car which has a hks3037 holds 18 psi no worries... very user friendly..

also very stealthy looking as the solinoid is not that big. compared to my blitz dual solinoid......

i would recommend 1..........

I have had an ms-ibc in my r33 s2 for over 12mnths now and would recomend it to anyone.was told by a reputable tuner her in brisbane that they wern't that good,until i installed it myself and let him have a play with it,he was shocked at how much they had improved from previous versions which did not have any duty cycle ajustments.This product was so easy to set up that he didn't change any of the settings that I put in myself even after he ran it up on the dyno(I self tuned on the road took about an hour to do all 6 boost levels).This car is driven as a daily driver by my wife and I set levels of boost for driving in very adverse conditions through to all out thrash mode and have knothing but "fun "since.Holds all levels of boost consistantly with no spiking and brings on the boost up to 1000-1500 rpm ealier than standard solinoid.Another advantage that I have found is that both the solinoid and the cotroll unit are small enough to hide away so the powers to be can't find them(have been pulled up a few times and they still havn't discovered it yet Ha HA HA take that.So do touself a favour chech out "GIZMO'S' web site it is very informative,these units are very well priced also lol.

I have a Gizzmo, it does a great job, even though I give it a hard time by using too small of a wastegate, and too much boost.

One of my mates also has one running 30psi of boost, on a T51r. External gate though.

Really easy to hook up too.

well..i just bought a Hdi sbc type-d boost controller...of hdi on SAU...

i believe its a dual solenoid...??

but i just got it lik 3 days ago..

havent got it running rit, as of yet..

but i do got a topic open..

and hoping someone can suggest on how to help me fix my problem..

but other than that..

it seems so far like a VERY VERY VERY good money for valve & performance part for any turbo car :)

simple and easy to install..

Thanks, based on the replys about the Gizzmo unit I've just brought one, $250 if anyone else is interested: http://www.modyourcar.com.au/gizzmo-msibc-...ontroller-p5327

^^ yup same one i bought few days ago for my 32R.. let me know how u go with tuning it.. trent @ status tuning in one of the post highly recommended the unit and found unit to be as good to highly recommended blitz units in back to back testing.. there is also the faq/installation of the unit by one of the import shops on the web

Hey moodles thanks im just in the process of buying that puppy! haha. only thing is that they dont accept credit cards for international orders. damit.

Anyone know of any other site that sells the msibc cheap?

I'm running the Gizzmo IBC with four settings for Boost/Gain and can't speak more highly of the unit. Very easy to install and the actuator is quite compact compared to Blitz etc.

thats the cheapest by long-shot, ebay does have unit on sale from time to time which costs around $300 new

Yeh i had a skim through other websites. Its ok cos i managed to negotiate the deal with them. They sending it across the ditch for 280 all up inc shipping! Dam thats cheap.

Local websites sell it for $499!

Ray Carter from Gizzmo is a really good guy to deal with me and was even responding to questions on boxing day about my IBC.

Im yet to have it completely sorted yet, but start with the gain setting on 0 and work up from there. I havent spent too much time playing with mine as yet but it still seems to be spiking. I'll get it done on the dyno as im having issues getting enough straight road to unleash third gear for an extended period of time.

i rekon they are crap from my past experiences. Thing would always boost creep on high boost. Low boost (12psi ) was fine

"Past experience" was this with the earlier model as it had poor spike control and no duty cycle adjustments,I had the same comment from my tuner untill he saw the new version I installed,he has now changed his opinion on these controllers.(by the way my tuner is a well known and respected drag race engine builder,racer and tuner here in brisbane he is know considering using one in his 650hp supra)

i did a comparison a while back on IBC vs BLITZ vs HKS etc and the IBC held its own against all the others and in fact was better than the HKS EVC (latest version)... i will try find the post as i had dyno graphs etc...

i try and keep all the gizzmo controllers in stock as they are the BEST bang for buck around, and many cant afford the BLITZ DSBC.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
