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?

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
