Everything you need for the install. I noticed
the little things. Better quality packaging then the IBC, nicer
box (now I know it's just cardboard... but presentation is everything),
the hoses and wires bundled together in a more professional manner.


This unit is par for par the exact same dimensions
as the IBC counterpart. Design however just "feels" more
quality constructed. Now, don't get me wrong - the IBC is a horny
little boost controller - but this is to the IBC what a Bentley
is to a Merc.

Side
by side...

The
rear of the unit is EXACTLY the same as the IBC. It's
idiot proof. Like the IBC; the power wires and the solenoid
wires are seperated, so you cannot get it wrong.

I
wonder what this magic button does ^_^ .... You'll find
out soon ;)

Lets get the IBC solenoid out of here - and replace
it with the new solenoid. I used the OEM spot - as detailed in the
IBC guide. I suggest you revert back to that one - especially if
you don't have a FMIC. Lots of things have changed at Gizzmo it
would seem - as per under my bonnet.

Another
shot at a better angle for you to see what we are playing
with.

You'll
need a 10mm socket, undo the top and bottom bolts on
the bracket holding in the solenoid. Please refer back
to the IBC guide if you need further help with this.

Placed next to each other - the solenoids are near
on identical. My MSIBC solenoid is without marking. As you can see
- I have setup the ports for internal wastegate operation. If you
are using an external wastegate; I suggest you check the Gizzmo
documentation for more information. (you just move the port from
3 to 1)

Putting the unit back into place, you can see it's
quite at home like it's cousin ;). Do up the two 10mm bolts and
reattach your vacuum lines. Remember to check the orientation for
the wastegate and the intake. I had quite a few pms from people
who couldn't boost their IBC - and pretty much every time the plumbing
was wrong!

Once
again, I tucked the solenoid cable behind the block
- along the firewall.

I
fed the line around the abs unit, tucked out of the
way - and attached it to the solenoid line.

Remember the hole in the firewall from the IBC install?
Guess who gets to crawl under the dash and pull all the lines through.
Clear the way for the new solenoid wires - and thread them through.

This
time around, I've decided to fix up the vacuum return
line for the boost gauge and the MS IBC.

Attach the larger Y piece supplied with the MS
IBC to the intake manifold side of the line. Tighten with a hose
clamp.

Add
in the return line to the wastegate - and also the 3rd
line for the gauges. Tighten with hose clamps.

The
finished product, this is much neater and has less slack
then the previous setup.

And a top down view - make sure that nothing is
kinked. Once you're done - return the boost gauge lines through
the firewall - and anything else that you are running. Please check
the IBC guide - if you need more help on that one.

Back to the dash - the solenoid control set is
here - as is the power (reused the IBC one - as it's exactly the
same - refer to IBC guide for hookup) and the boost line - though
you can't see it.

I put some electrical tape over the solenoid plug
- just because I noted a little bit of stress on the wires because
of the way I've mounted it. I'm sure nothing would eventuate - but
I like to be safe.

Remember this button? This is your scramble mode
button. When you program the MSIBC scramble mode - you can set overboost
for a desired period of time. Hit this button and BAM! 5psi extra
for 10seconds.... or whatever you like!

Simply attach the two wires from the solenoid wiring
loom and screw into place. I plan to drill a hole through the plastic
near the gear boot - and install this there.

I drilled a hole through the gearboot plastic with
hole saw - and put the scramble button here. It makes for easy access
for an S14 driver.

With that, the unit is installed. Programming the
unit is quite simple - just like the IBC - refer to the manual for
assistance with that. |
