ISIS Power group buy

[Mrgfy6]

Hi, I'm new here but was curious who would be interested in a group buy for ISIS Power (http://isispower.com)

They have done group buys in the past and it's been a few years since I've seen one on the net so am trying to garner interest to contact them about a purchase. I need a kit and they have come up with some seriously innovative products since that time. Anyway, let me know if you would like to be in. I've posted on pro-touring,a bodies only, and ffcars to gain as much interest as possible. Thanks!

Check out the 70 Chevelle Lat-G Feature car in my sig... it was done with an ISIS power 3 cell unit, in motion unit for the reversible items and an InMax touch screen. Just got my next full setup for the current 67 Mustang build.

At SEMA they were demo'ing their new web based tech where you can use any internet ready device as your controller. Iphone, tablet, android, internet ready stereo head unit... anything that can access the internet can be set up as the controller for the vehicle. Slick stuff.

It is a different way to think about wiring a vehicle and the first one you do is going to take some time but it is infinitely programmable, and modular so you can add on as many Powercells as you want for additional circuits. Second one goes much smoother...

I have the ISIS setup being put in my 67 Camaro, the internet Radio stereo head unit has to be Kenwood DNN990 HD. (Wifi) Requires a box for the intouch.net and if you have the older setup of isis power, then you need send your boxes back to isis power to get upgraded.

Using the wifi head unit is a plus... I wish they had that when I did the Chevelle since I ended up using a touchscreen stereo as well as having the InMax touchscreen in the dash... but you can use any wifi capable device. While I was at their SEMA booth, Mike Weber, the tech engineer I deal with walked me through connecting my Droid phone to the car and I was able to control the ISIS system within about 30 seconds (security features were disabled for the show) You don't have to use the stereo, you can use your phone, Ipad, any web capable device. It is really slick!

The Kenwood is the best head unit on the market aside from an ipad mini so I'm in!

Sounds mean! Im interested, but if you are not electrically inclined, who would be able to install it?

So what kind of interest have you found elsewhere? Have you contacted Isis yet? Let's get it GOIN;)

[214Chevy]

OP joined on 1/15 and hadn't logged in since his first post and thread start on 1/16. Uhhhh....wassup? :goggles:

[6D9 Matt]

Sounds like a neat system!

[irishlsxer]

I'm about to have to pull the trigger anyway, so those of you that were seriously interested, pm me so I can get an accurate count and I'll shout at isis and report back...

Sorry everyone. I have posted on other forums and am not getting post updates from here. I got an email from ISIS this week about the group buy and need email addresses so if you are interested pm me and I will get them thee info. I will also pm you to see if you are still in. Thanks, and sorry again. P.s. Tell your friends as the more people, the better the discount!

Aww shucks I guess you can do it;). I pm'd those I heard from to contact you! Can't wait to see what you come up with!:thumbsup:

Irishlsxer, please don't feel like I'm trying to take this back, trying to keep track of the multiple forums to ensure everyone interested can get in can be, well, :confused18: and make me feel like a :sieg: . Anyway, thanks for the pm and I hope between the other forums I have this on we can get a great deal. I have on ffcars.com, here, a-bodies only, and pro touring. Any others I'm missing that would benefit and/or be interested? Thanks again!

Matt

[irishlsxer]

No worries man! I'm glad you're on it! Off the top of my head the only other forum I might suggest for sheer volume of visitors would be ls1tech. Excited for us all!!:RunninDog:

[Mrgfy6]

I got an email back from ISIS with a code for their approved group buy. Per their request, I can't post details here, but if you are interested, please PM me, and I can forward the email to you. The better discount is only good for a week, so act fast, while their is still a good discount the second week, but if we get over 20, no matter what, they will "throw in" an extra deal!

Jay Harris is good people!! Mike Weber is the head of their tech department and is invaluable when it comes time to program the options on your system and figuring out the best way to wire "non-standard" situations.

Here are some pics of the current ISIS Power wiring install I'm doing and some notes to consider as you plan out your systems...

This is the central electronics panel that will mount in the center up under the dash with all of the fuses and relays to run the vehicle systems. I'm using 3 Powercells on this install with the third controlling interior power distribution to minimize the amount of back and forth I ended up doing on the Chevelle between the engine bay, passenger compartment, and trunk due to options that were powered up by the same circuit. Module on the left is the XFI ECU, Middle is the PowerCell, and the right is the MasterCell. The 22ga wires you see on the right side are the input wires to the MasterCell. I've gone through and de-pinned all of the inputs I didn't need to minimize the harness. They give you A LOT of input options... way more than you would ever need but it just speaks to the flexibility of this system- Stick to the "Basic Wiring Schematic" they provide with the system and it will simplify the mental processing!! The 14g wires you see coming out of the PowerCell in the center are your Output wires that you use to power up your options. Everything to the left of the PowerCell in the middle is for the EFI system. You can see that there is more wiring in the EFI than in the ISIS system. (Man, that looks ugly in the pic... I need to start running those wires out of the EFI connectors through shrinkwrap too!!) I'm OCD so I wire connectors in between different harnesses in case they need to be removed for service... thus the connectors between the XFI and the ISIS harness.. and then connectors between those and the dashboard harness.

The second pic shows the rear electronics panel for the trunk. The battery is just set in place now but they both will be sunken back into the quarter panel cavity and hidden behind trim. This panel shows the rear PowerCell, the fuel pump controller, the InReserve battery disconnect solenoid and the ISIS Maxi fuses. They were nice enough to include a 250a Maxi fuse for the battery supply cable as well. TI have also wired a secondary 4 fuse panel in the back... In reality there will be a few things that you do need to wire around the ISIS system. I run a separate keep alive circuit for the radio and the XFI system needs to be powered directly from the battery (to avoid electronic noise issues) so I fuse the wire before running it up through the car.
http://i696.photobucket.com/albums/vv328/RevvedAC/Baker/DSCN0009_zpsbe79dda2.jpg

Another note to consider is that ISIS does not transmit signals... so in this case the fuel pump controller ramps up operation by tachometer signal so you do have to run a tach signal wire from your source back to wherever you have your controller... typically in the trunk. I've heard they were working on a solution for this but last I looked you still had to run wiring back from the front lighting to your indicators in the dash... (high beam, turn signals)

Working with Mike Weber comes in handy when you need to figure out work arounds for the system. I was wiring the dash lighting last week and although they provide you with a diagram for the 67-68 Mustang lighting switch it does not accomodate an instrument lighting dimmer function. We were able to work out a way with diodes to use the headlamp switch rheostat to regulate the ground but not backfeed into the rest of the ground inputs to the MasterCell.

And one more thing that will drive OCD wiring guys like me crazy and I've given Mike and Jay a hard time about this in the past but it is what it is... When they were designing the inputs on the board they didn't have the connectors finalized yet so the Input numbers to the MasterCell do not match the Pin Cavity Numbers on the connectors. The Pin Cavity numbers count left to right across the connector in two rows but the Input numbers count up and down so Input1 = Cavity A1, Input2= Cavity A17, Input3=Cavity A2, Input 4= Cavity A18, and on..

Remember that all of your inputs are grounds. Instead of supplying power to your switches you supply ground to your power circuit that your switch sends back to the MasterCell to activate your desired input. The MasterCell has a large number of 22ga grounds that you can opt to wire as your supply ground should you choose.

Heavy load items over 25a you will have to fuse and relay control your loads separately. I've discussed this with Mike on several occasions as the hardware we use on these cars tends to have 30a fusing for fans, fuel pumps, etc. That rating covers the amperage spike when these components ramp up but the operating amperage is typically within the capacity of the ISIS system. Mike has offered in the past to test components sent in to verify if the initial spike exceeds system capability... I'm not guaranteeing he does that for everyone but he has really gone out of his way to help me get my systems lined out so I'm sure if you asked nicely he would if you were really concerned about it... otherwise... just run a relay and use the ISIS system to trigger it.

Think about dedicating one of your circuits to switched B+ to activate your components. Think about a separate Accessory circuit for engine off.. waiting for someone listening to the radio or wanting to roll the window down. Think about dedicating a circuit to your Hot at All times circuits like courtesy lamps.

These systems require thinking about wiring completely differently than you have in the past. Feel free to email me or PM me if you guys have any questions.

I may just hit you up.... I'm still laying out all my ISIS components and starting to think of what is going to control what etc.... Integrating the XFI system etc etc.... Frankly, right now I'm alittle intimidated on getting all the stuff figured out

Shoot me a pm and we can set up a time to talk about it.

So how many people got in on the group buy?

So how many people got in on the group buy?

Ah crap, been so busy I haven't visited much lately. I would be IN if it were still good... I'll buy one anyway... lol

[214Chevy]

It wasn't much of a "group buy" if you ask me.

[Sparks67]

It wasn't much of a "group buy" if you ask me.

Group buys are based on the number of people that decided to do it. I was in the first group purchase back in 2009.. The original discount was based on at least 10 people, but if it increased to 25 people then you get an extra discount. Anyway, at that time the group purchase was good discount. Yes, we got the extra discount, but it took awhile...

Yep, group buys often require patience, especially when the item costs more just a couple bucks!

[RussMurco]

Well, upon visiting their site I see they have added some new "must-haves" to the line so my initial expected expenditure has gone up about 40%! No rush, I'll wait for another group buy! lol

[coachwinbush]

I'm in for group buy in I need two kits

[jwcarguy]

anymore interest in a group buy??

[Hotrod1]

Maybe, depending upon price.

[Musclerodz]

I am placing an order this week, will talk to Jay and see what he is willing to do.

[RussMurco]

I got my Infinity Box (nee ISIS) system last December, I cannot get over how nicely engineered these are! I'll need some add-on pieces soon...

[rustbucket69]

I'm almost done with my schematic of my system and have been talking to Jay for some time. I've got him to offer a 5% discount but would be interested in participating in a group purchase if I can save a bit more. Attached is my schematic that I'm doing the finishing touches on so I can confirm my Mastercell/Powercell relationships.

If you get some feedback from Jay on a possible GP or reduced cost, I'm certainly in and ready to order.

Sorry for the bad image resolution, says my maximum upload image size is 1300x1400.

Thanks!

I talked with Jay today and ordered a bunch of stuff. I can do better than 5%, but how much better depends on how much I can sell. Anyone who is interested in ISIS products, PM or email me.

[DRJDVM's '69]

Rust bucket.... Can you email me your schematic?....I haven't started mine but am looking for ideas on how to do mine when the time comes

Happy to send it...the high resolution PDF is only 546kb and is sized for an Architectural E1 sheet (30"x42"). If you have a CAD program, I can provide source files as well... I am doing this in Revit (I know - not best program for line drafting, but what I have available) but can export to AutoCAD easily - but not sure how good the output will be.

Thanks Mike! I need to finish my plan, get approval from the Minister of Finance at home and I'll be ready. Jay has been a great help and I can't wait to use his product.

I am using everything including the kitchen sink in a 67 C10 project here at the shop. One of these days i will post something on it.

[droptop 63]

I have a thing for auto electrical and I also picked up this setup for my last two projects. My current project, 63 Nova SS droptop restomod is getting the works from Jay. I will post some pix soon.
