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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
