ISIS Powercell Mounting Locations

[Mkelcy]

I wanted to make a brief report on my recent experience with the ISIS folks on my project.

I got in on the first ISIS group buy and sprung for a 3 power cell setup - one for the engine bay, one for the cabin and one for the trunk area.



My plan is as follows: the engine bay Power Cell will directly power the turn signals, parking lights and side markers, headlight low beam, headlight high beam, horns and provide the ignition 12v power to the ECU. I'll install relays to provide power to the fans and the DSE wipers.

The cabin Power Cell will directly power the turn signal indicators, the high beam indicator, the radio, provide ignition only power to the gauges, provide always hot power to the courtesy lights and radio memory and provide accessory power to another set of relays for the power seats, power windows, AC and two auxiliary power outlets.

The rear Power Cell will directly trigger the starter solenoid, power the turn signals, parking light, side markers and license plate light, the brake lights, the backup lights and an accessory power relay to power the radio power amplifier.

All of this requires some reprogramming of the Master Cell and Power Cells. I'm extremely pleased to report that I sent an email to ISIS at about 9:30 California time last evening, and had the revised programming in hand by 2:00 in the afternoon today.

Mike Weber at ISIS was very helpful, caught an error in my plans and even sent me an Assembly Instruction Manual schematic confirming his advise. He answered all my emails very promptly. I couldn't be more pleased or impressed with the customer service.

Did you put your engine bay powercell on the firewall? How many of the outputs did you use up on that one? Is your ECU in the engine compartment? I am planning on putting my ecu (Accel gen 7 + wideband module) in glove box area and since at this point only have 2 power cells one in engine bay and one in back. Since paint done next week time to make a diagram and get mine on paper.

The car is still very much in the project stage. My plan is to put the Power Cell on the radiator support. I'm using seven outputs on the front Power Cell, after having ISIS reprogram input 1 on the Master Cell to the front Power Cell. I'm not sure yet where I'll put the ECU.
