IBC Intelligent Boost Controller
The Gizzmo IBC (Intelligent Boost Controller) represents the
ultimate in Accurate, Simple to operate and easy to install
Computerised Boost Controllers.
Because all the thinking is done inside the IBC, you will not
require an Engineering Degree to operate or fit it.
With the Gizzmo IBC’s precision 29lb MAP sensor, High Speed
RISC processor and Powerful MOSFET solenoid driver, you can be
assured that your Gizzmo IBC has the Quality, Resolution and
Accuracy that you need for your Turbocharged vehicle.
Technical Diagram
Processing Power
Gizzmo’s IBC is armed a number
crunching 20mhz RISC Processor
capable of processing 5,000,000
instructions a second. Internally, a
16bit timer controls the Boost Control
Solenoid with pin point accuracy.
Extruded Aluminium Case
By utilising a rugged Extruded
Aluminium case you can be assured
that your IBC will keep its look for
years to come. Because the IBC is so
deceptively small, you can mount it
virtually anywhere.

IBC Quick Start
Start Up Sequence
Every time the ignition is turned on the screen will
Display the memory option that was last chosen and
then the boost Pressure for that memory option,
after this the IBC will go to the Main Display menu.
Setting the Duty Cycle and Boost Pressure
Start the vehicle
Wait until the screen goes to the main display menu and
then Press and Hold Button 1 for four seconds
The Screen will go to the Duty cycle menu, at this stage
Button 1 will be flashing
Option 1:
If you do not wish to change the setting, do not push either
button for five seconds and the screen will automatically go
back to the main display.
Option 2:
Press Button 1 to increase the duty cycle or Press Button 2
to decrease the duty cycle.
E.g. when the setting of the duty cycle is 11, pressing
Button 1 will increase the duty cycle to 12 and pressing
button 2 will decrease the duty cycle to 10. Holding down
Button 1 or Button 2 will increment or decrement the duty
cycle continuously.
Once you have finished adjusting the duty cycle, do not
push either Button for five seconds and the screen will go to
the Boost Pressure display.

2. Display the boost pressure for the memory option.
Then will go to the real time boost display. (Running Mode)

About the memory boost display
When you select a memory setting the IBC will display a
boost setting for the new memory option selected. This
displayed boost setting is the MAXIMUM STABLE BOOST that
the IBC has seen on the memory setting you have selected.
This means that if you have a boost control issue such as a
boost surge or boost creep that is stable for over half a
second, the IBC will recognise this as the maximum stable
boost.

What is Duty Cycle
Solenoid on Time
Duty Cycle = * 100
Solenoid Valve Operate Time
40
On On
22 Off Off
22ms
Duty Cycle = * 100
40ms
With the example above, the solenoid valve
frequency timeframe is 40 Ms with a solenoid
ON time of 22 Ms. The Solenoid off Time is 18
Ms. So, the Higher the Duty Cycle we set, the
Higher the Boost we will have as this will allow
less pressure to reach the Wastegate.

PRESSURE
1. The Pressure port is to be connected to a direct pressure source
at an inlet manifold e.g. Fuel Press Regulator. Do not connect
this to any other device such as a solenoid valve or blow off
valve. A 3mm Y connector is provided to assist plumbing.
2. Mount the solenoid with the un-used port facing downwards.
Connect the hoses as per the correct application (actuator or
external wastegate).
3. Connect the Red wire to a good fused power source that is live
only when the ignition switch is in the on position.
4. Connected the Black wire to a good clean chassis earth.

F&Q
The Gizzmo IBC will control Boost accurately on a
correctly engineered Turbo/Wastegate combination.
It will not however overcome faults due to
CAUSE RESULTS
1. Too smaller Wastegate Overboosting / boost creep
2. Turbocharger to small Boost drop off at high RPM
3. Poor quality Wastegate Boost instability or lack of
or Turbo boost
4. Wastegate mounting Overboosting / boost creep
incorrect (poor flow)
5. Too larger Turbocharger Slow / unable to get boost
6. Too bigger Wastegate Boost instability
7. Too harder wastegate Can’t lower boost enough
spring
8. Too softer wastegate Can’t raise boost enough
spring
9. Not set boost Correct Over Boosting
