I have just bought a Gizzmo ms-ibc and it doesn't seem to have very comprehensive installation instructions, like what the big silver button is for . Is there a 'how to' of sorts floating around? (I have tried searching but can't find anything). Oh, and has anyone fitted one in the handbrake console?

i have a Gizzmo ibc and they are very easy to install so if you need ahand then give me a shout and i'll give you a hand mate , here is a manual that may help you out -

Cheers Iain, going to give it a go tomorrow. I'll give you a call if when i get stuck

its 2 wires , ignition live and earth , thats it mate .

its the setting up that i don't understand

Mine has 3 wires and a silver button?

what one have you got ?

It says on the box it can run up to 3.5 so i'll just set it to that and keep my fingers crossed

i can't find any with one button ?

lmfao , your have one quick coupe then

This one

black casing with 2 buttons ?

its just 2 wires and 2 buttons then

Think i need to have a proper read of the instructions, it's got three wires, red, black and blue and a big silver button.

I had a quick read in the manual and button is for 'scramble mode' i think but i can't see any instructions for installation?

Have alook at that link I sent you and hunt for the right manual for your ibc in downloads .

I've got the manual, it's just a bit shit, it has a wiring diagram that doesn't make sense to me.
Manual

15 pages down, clear as mud.

I think i have worked it out, 2 ignition lives and one earth, the blue ignition live has the button in line. It's getting late and my head hurts!

I can't see the advantage of using the scramble button as your going to set the boost to the level you want and there is no reason for you to want more if your set a 1.3bar . I would just set it up using the boost controller and not fit the button but I know you and now you have it you have to fit it just be very careful as the button acts like an overboost , the more you push it the more boost you get !

Push the scramble button = blow engine up.

the seperate silver button looks to have no relevance to the installation (i think you got a freebe)

"Supplied with the MS-IBC is a remote loom and button which you
may mount in a convenient position. Via the ‘Input’ menu you can
make this button either fast change the memories or trigger the
multi-scramble™ (refer to ‘Input’ in this glossary)."

It's part of the kit but i'm still not 100% how to wire the thing up or if it's even worth wiring up. Programing looks like a total ball ache, dyslexia isn't helping

don't bother with the button James as you don't want to overboost the car unless your set at low boost and did you get a bracket for the ebv this time like mine

Easy to set up, once installed do this:

1) Fit Unit as per instructions
2) Start car and allow engine to warm up thoroughly whilst doing the next few steps
3) Press the bottom button on the MSIBC until the no. "1" is shown on the display. It will flash 3 things: "1(The boost level)", "Target Boost(whatever that is)", "0.00(Real time boost level)".
4) Press and hold the top button, go through and select what units you want, what the scramble button is to do, etc according to instructions. Finally end up by setting "Spike Stop" to 0 for the moment. Press and hold both buttons. This will return you to the main screen
5) Press and hold the bottom button until it shows "Open" or "Closed". Put it on closed, then press both buttons together.
6)It will now show a number (The "duty cycle") and "Duty" comes up on the screen. Set this to 10 (the minimum).
7) Press and hold both buttons and it will show a number (The "gain") and "Gain comes up on the screen. Set this to 0 (the minimum).
8) Press and hold both buttons and it will return to the "real time" boost level

9) Drive the car on full throttle in 3rd or 4th gear
10) Pull over to the side of the road in a safe place, then either turn off the ignition then turn it back on again, OR, Press the bottom button until it scrolls through the boost levels and comes back to setting 1. Either way you do this you will be informed what the highest stable boost pressure achieved was by way of the pressure flashing at you on the screen. This is the new "Target" boost. Let us say that this was 12.5psi and you would like to achieve 16psi:

11) Press and hold the bottom button again until the "Duty" comes up again. Increase this by 10. Then press both buttons so it returns to the real time boost screen.
12) Repeat steps 9/10/11 until the boost level you require is achieved. If you get duty cycle over 50 and the boost level is not increasing, then you have either not plugged in the solenoid or you have not plumbed it in correctly! As it gets closer to the level you would like, only increase by small steps of, say, 5 at a time.

13) When you are happy with the pressure, press and hold the bottom button and enter the "Gain" setting menu. Gain is How hard/fast the boost is brought in. It should NEVER be higher than duty cycle. In fact we have found the best setting is below 10. If gain is too high the boost will either overshoot, or the maximum stable (Target) boost will increase every time you drive it!
If boost starts to creep of spikes too much, drop the gain back.
14) You may need to drop the duty setting slightly if the stable boost level ends up being a bit higher than you wanted.

15) Repeat steps 3-14 on boost levels 2 to 6 to achieve the boost levels you require.

16) Try going flat out, quickly changing gear and stabbing the throttle again. If the boost overswings more than you would like, press and hold the top button, scroll through to "Spike Stop" and increase this by 10.
Repeat process until you are happy with lack of spiking.

Some settings to try

Set Duty to 82
Gain to 8
Closed loop

And try car at full throttle in 3rd. That will probably get you around 1.3 Bar of boost I keep that as Number 6 on the memory

Then select memory number 5
Duty 78
Gain 9
This will give you around 1.24 Bar But slightly quicker respnse

Then select memory number 4
Duty 74
Gain 9

Number 3
Duty 68
Gain 10

Number 2
Duty 62
Gain 10

Number 1
Duty 15
Gain 10

(Thats Garage mode and will stop them ragging your car!) Unless they know what a boost controller is and how to change boost levels

Duty= Boost level higher equals more boost until it becomes unstable
Gain = How fast boost comes in Higher makes it quicker/more violent

As a rule don't set gain above 10

lmfao

I was thinking more like this.....

Hilarious!
