Gizzmo Boost Controller

[chris davey]

you wanna organise?

[Mr Ed]

you wanna organise?

Alrighty then, ill see what I can find

[ProjectSleeper]

I do know one other person that is also interested in this (a group buy) - so I'll direct them to this thread also..

[Mr Ed]

Alrighty got a response from Gizzmo (direct from NZ) today. I got the email on my work computer and dont have it here but from memory the deal they offered was:
IBC -------- $340 AUD
MS-IBC -- $399 AUD
(Which works out to a 20% discount, this is assuming a minimum purchase of 10 units and shipped one address)

These prices are ex-NZ so shipping and GST would have to be added on top of that. Im currently looking into costs of shipping, customs, GST, wateva...) I will work out a cost price to my door which people willing to pick up would pay, then a seperate price for shipped-to-your-door units which I assume will be pretty much the same price to any major city.

Next step: Getting a price from a local rep and comparing
After that: Bargin the 2 off against each other

Could I have an EOI for these items stating which version youd be up for and where you are located? This list will not be a final list so if you dont end up going through with the deal I wont hold it against you, just need to gauge whether this is worth the effort yet. All EOIs are obivously subject to final price and time for delivery.

Re the bringing on boost faster...
have a look at the following Dyno sheet from my car..

This was done Before and after the boost controller.



you can see the difference (not only in peak power) but how much quicker and stronger the power is delivered.. the "gap" between 1st and 2nd turbo spooling is eliminated and the flat spot well and truly gone.

1st Turbo spools to 9psi, 2nd to 16.6psi

Note, I think the 12.4psi is actually wrong as that was the power at about 14.5 psi before the boost controller and 2.5" exhaust restrictor went in..
the full 3" exhaust made it go to about 1 bar - when we fitted the exhaust restrictor, it brought it back down to 12.4 (the lowest it would go to..

I will head back out to Castle Hill Exhausts and get them to check.,.

Southo,

How about that graph with boost instead of Torque ? And ANY boost controller will be better than no boost controller.

I'll see what I can do....
I am going back over there in a week or so, so I will ask Dale if he still has the maps..

IBC is the one I think? Will look

ANything over $1000 total including postage will attract GST. I think it may work out cheaper to get it from that NZ Performance place individually.

[Ghetto-AW11]

I have the MSIBC, I would be going for that as it has a faster processor and a whole host of other goodies. the scamble bs is just bs tho.

I have mine on the car, its great and easy to use, changing boost on the fly. The best part about it is the size, you can mount it anywhere and it doesnt look like its exspensive.

[kugzs]

ghetto how is it as a boost gauge. do you also have a dedicated boost gauge or it the msibc fine to read and does it give max readings.

thanks

[Mr DOHC]

ms ibc please
