dj-jon-boi Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I've adjusted my actuator down to .5 of a bar and i cannot work out how to adjust it so it runs more boost, on the controller there are a few things you can adjust, scramble,multi scramble, gain, duty and over boost. i presumed the over boost wud be the way to adjust it so i set it to .8 of a bar and it still doesnt reach anything past .5. can anyone help?

scot-ish Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 wrongyou set the actuator at the lowest point that you will want the low setting on the boost controller, if you wer to set he actuator for boost, there is no real reason for the boost controller, but the controller being the gizzmo i havent used it yet, im sure other on ere or tgtt will have used it, so cant help you on that point. have a read of this matehttp://www.gizzmoelectronics.com/pdf/IBC%20Instruction.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dj-jon-boi Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 its all set up perfect now! you adjust the boost by upping the duty, it holds really well too! would recommend this controller to anyone who is thinking of buying one in the near future! top noch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scot-ish Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 top man, as i was hoping to heardid you have to up the duty, then drive it for a bit before it would boost properly??remember to get your overboost back down from .8 lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dj-jon-boi Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 yea i upped the duty and just kept tryin it till right boost, all the over boost does is flash the screen, it doesnt cut it off though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dj-jon-boi Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 wicked mate, i think thats the one down from mine, I've got the 200 quid one, there pretty much exactly the same apart from mines got 6 memories instead of 4 and its got a multi scramble feature which i dont use lol. heres a easier guide for when you do need to set it up.Setting a Gizzmo IBC - The (VERY) Simple Guide1) Fit Unit as per instructions2) Start car and allow engine to warm up thoroughly whilst doing the next few steps3) Press the top button on the IBC 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 until a number (The "duty cycle") comes up on the screen. Set this to 10 (the minimum).5) Leave the controller for 4-5 seconds and it will return to the "real time" boost level6) Press and hold the bottom button until a number (The "gain") comes up on the screen. Set this to "0" for the moment. Leave for 4-5 seconds until it returns to the "real time" boost level7) Drive the car on full throttle in 3rd or 4th gear 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 top button once, then the bottom button once (this will put the controller into boost level 2, then back to 1 again). 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.9) Press and hold the top button again until the "Duty" comes up again. Increase this by 10. Then leave the controller for 4-5 seconds until it returns to the real time boost screen.10) Repeat steps 7/8/9 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.11) 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!12) Repeat steps 3-11 on boost levels 2, 3 and 4 to achieve the boost levels you require.
