Looks great R31982.

Thanks for posting the pic

May i ask what you have used for the surround, to fill the gap? Cheers

Just finished fitting mine, decided to be different and fit it under the start button.


Very happy with how it looks but now my injector light has lit up any ideas?

Have you unplugged the original EBV James?

Install looks good.

You'll always get Gremlins with a Gizzmo James lol...
Sorry couldn't resist

Thanks Leighton, yes the original ebv is unplugged, does it need to be plugged back in?

@speedy, i didn't get it wet or feed it after midnight

Yes you need to leave EBV plugged in electrically and loop tubing onto the inlet/outlet if I remember right.

BTW thats a very tidy install both of you well done. As I have a Widget the air vents not an option but below the starter button is, I might move mine there too. (Any tips about that install gratefully received)

Thanks Charlie, i'll dig out my old pierburg and plumb it in.
I have widget too hence the alternative mounting. I unscrewed the plate from the back of the gizzmo and used it as a template. Before cutting i checked there was nothing behind (plenty of space, just be careful of the wires from the start button) then placed the back plate in the desired position (line of sight through the steering wheel may be a minor issue) and carefully cut around it with a sharp knife. The outer leatherette is very easy to cut and covers a layer of foam, under that is a thick layer of plastic. I drilled each corner of the plastic and used a small modeling saw to join up the holes. After a bit of trimming the gizzmo slid in nicely.

Thanks James, thats going onto my list of jobs

Did you have enough wiring from the Solenoid valve? or did you have to extend it?

Had just enough length, I ran the lead behind the centre console, across the passenger footwell behind the ecu and then behind the wing.

looks good there James , when you going install mine there

Tidy install

Whenever you like mate, i'm going to need my airbag light resetting again soon!

no problem mate , i can do it at the grasshopper meet if you ready by then to have it done .

Won't be ready by then, i'm up to see Flea on sat and still need to get a new alarm and battery before it's reset again. If you remind me sunday morning before the grasshopper i'll bring some tools with me to fit yours.

your be lucky , my car is off the road at the moment so going grab a lift to the grasshopper meet with EDz hopefully .

What's wrong with your car? You haven't been letting Mario near it have you?

on the way back from the ace last italian night and i was unable to select any gears when the cars running ! , off on holiday for a week on monday so i'll sort it out when i'm back

Does this Gizzmo display vacuum yet?

Have they put a dimmer on the display yet? I remember mine was too bright at night

The Gizzmo (MS-IBC) does not display Vacuum it does have a dimmer.

I took your install as inspiration but was uneasy cutting into the dash. So I had the idea that the Headlamp adjuster and instrument dimmer switches would make a great location.

So I removed the switch, then got to work with a hacksaw and a file, with careful shaping at the back, the Gizzmo can be angled very slightly upwards. It's a 30 minute job, with no drilling and it can be put back any time with just a replacement switch (Cost approx £10)

As I have HIDs the headlamp adjuster motors are not connected and I always leave the instruments on full brightness.

I am not sure whether the missing rheostat for the dimmer will be a problem but if it is, I will reuse just the rotary wheel/switch and locate it behind the dash,


Next step is to locate the Gizzmo remote switch on centre console for rapid changes of boost

Looks nice, i thought about that but wasn't sure about disconnecting the switches.
I got a new illuminated button for mine and i had an old immobiliser socket in my steering cowl so i swapped it for the new scramble button.

I believe you bumped into a friend of mine at the dyno, Ian?

Liking that, though I am leaning towards down by electric window switch.

Where have you mounted the solenoid?

Solenoid is cable tied to the relay next to the original pierburg valve.

Yes i did, seemed like a nice bloke, one of a few ford guys who took the time out to have a chat. Apparently i was looking a little nervous, not sure if that's just how i normally look or if i was a bit worried about getting the coupe back on a dyno after Surrey! The first two guys walked pasted looking at the coupe and one of them said "tried racing one of those once and blew my engine up"

here's where i put mine for easy access

Nismo did you notice any performance benefits with the Gizzmo compared to the HDI? ie holding boost up revs better or does it just have more functionality?

W

very hard to say , i liked the hdi for ease of use/price and setting up the boost level you wanted on my remapped setup but i would say the gizzmo is a big step up on my modded setup , very easy to install and use and it holds the boost level very well . i changed to the gizzmo before i had the car mapped by flea so i can't say if the hdi would have performed as well as the gizzmo has , but it may have .

to cut along story short , i'm very happy with the gizzmo on the set up i have now .
