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?

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
