Gizzmo Ibc install


tmuff88

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I had a second hand gizzmo Ibc installed in my wrx by a Subaru mech the other day, but he was having difficulty setting it. He installed it according to the instruction manual and while the unit has power, he was unable to set it up. It won't go into the set up sequence on start up and just flashed zero and then go into boost display model. I suspect that it wasn't installed properly but the mechanic ensure me that it was installed according to the instruction manual. Please help and give me an idea what might be the issue? Is there a gizzmo support line that I can call? Thanks

Thanks Nade for the link. I have gone through the booklet and checked all the vacuum connections on to the solenoid and they all look fine. Then I setup the ibc unit with duty cycle and gains as instructed then took it for a blast in 3rd and 4th gear. But for some reason I'm only boosting 0.5 bar and the real time boost level and peak boost are not shown/stored in the ibc when I checked it during and after the run. The ibc controller has power but doesn't seem to work? I wonder if anyone here had similar experience? If I can proof that it's an installation problem I can take it back to the garage who installed it. Thanks

Only did a couple o run myself. But I presume the mechanic has adjusted when he tested it as one of the setting has the duty cycle maxed out. I think something isn't right as the real time boost function dot work and the peak boost level stayed at zero even tough my boost gauge tells me that I'm on 0.5 bar.

You have to adj the duty cycle, say so for mine i set the duty cycle to 40 then foot down hard in 3rd. hits around 14psi. then button 1 to store. make sure you start very high with the duty cycle. i think .5 bar is the factory setting for the EBC

Are the wires hooked up correctly? Is the power hooked up right (i.e. constant power and ACC power done right...)

So you see the real time boost when you drive it? Cos mine just says zero the whole time

/quote]I'm sure the power is on as it's on the whole time and I'm able to go the duty cycle set up etc. I hope all the wires are hooked up correctly as I had a subi mechanic to hook it up.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
