Let us know how the Gizzmo gos once you've got that installed/tuned. For $300 you can't go wrong... well you can, but not if it's good.

I'll report back after saturday when it gets installed, boost set then the pfc retuned for the boost curve.

Like i said, not expecting peak power gains but a better mid range. I did heaps of reading and finally settled on the Gizzmo unit. My choices were Greddy Profec B II, HKS EVC, HKS EVC-S, Blitz Dual SBC ID3 and the Gizzmo.

I've had the Greddy Profec B II before and it was a great unit (on another car) but thought i'd try something else this time. Was going to get the Blitz unit due to Status' quote below but in another thread he mentions he finds no difference in boost ramp rate between the Gizzmo and the Blitz dual solenoid so i decided to save the 300 bucks cheers.gif

Quote from Status

Any Blitz dual solenoid in my experience works the best (gain wise), i have plenty of graphs i could post up but i rate the boost controllers as follows;

1. BLITZ dual solenoid (type R, ID, IDIII or I-color) But i find the i-color is a bit too gadgety.

2. Gizzmo MSIBC (black with blue display) (awesome controller with closed loop boost control and cheap)

3. TRUST Profec b SPEC 2 (great controller, easy to set up)

Yeah you gotta watch out for those, not having enough experience to pick them out I just steer clear of eBay. I might just skim through every now and then to see what an average price for something is but chances of me actually buying something from there are slim to none.

Had my gizzmo ms-ibc installed and set today. PFC didn't need a retune as the boost curve change wasn't drastic.

What can i say, easy to use and install (though i didn't do the install as i was lazy haha).

Had the thing perfectly set in about 10 shootout runs and that includes a few muck around ones too. Once you get used to the instructions, it's piss easy to use.

Holds boost a wee bit better than my old PFC boost controller kit did, and boost comes on better thanks to gain settings. My power curve through mid range basically lifted up about 12rwkws. I also now no longer have time to make a coffee when i shift gears and give it a little.

Curiously picked up a few kw's peak power too even though running pretty much the same boost. It shouldn't be dyno variance as my last tune was 241rwkw, and then i de-tuned it further myself on the road to avoid some intermittent knocking.

Really like the unit, the only thing missing is probably overboost cut in my eyes (it only has overboost warning).

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
