Electronic? If it is it will need to be done on a dyno to get the most out of it, you should be able to do a fairly simple set up on the road though.

P.S. wrong section :whistling:

Seems like you might have posted in the wrong section, but here it goes anyway.

I have the Gizzmo IBC-R and the instructions are a bit crap. Just remember this.

Top button: If you hold it it'll bring up the all the main configurable functions of the unit, such as spike stop, reading units, etc.

Bottom button: If you hold it it'll bring up the actual setting of the load and gains of boost that you want to set for each memory setting.

Just remember for all the functions, once you have come up with the desired number, press the top and the bottom button at the same time. This will set the numbers into memory.

Also once you have set your load and gains, you need to set it on closed loop and give it a few 3rd pulls first so the computer will learn the stable readings. Once it's done so, you have to turn off the car to commit it to memory.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
