Day 2 on the Two Guys Garage Set with ISIS Power...

Hello All,




Sorry I didn't get anything out yesterday on our ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System install with Factory Five and Two Guys Garage. We were running around so much, I didn't take any pictures. Plus, we were wiped out by the time that we got back to the hotel. There is a great team of guys there, more like 25 Guys Garage. In addition to the Two Guys hosts and the Factory Five build team, there are guys from Lizard Skin, Dart and Monster Transmissions.




We accomplished a lot yesterday. Most of what Mike and I did was prep work for the rest of the shoot. We laid everything out and mocked up where we were going to mount cells and route wires. We also took the time to put connectors on all of the electrical components that come in the Factory Five kit. This will make the actual wiring of the car much easier. We will just need to run the wires from the POWERCELLs to the accessories then attach the mating connector. It will literally be plug and play.




Today was equally busy, but I made time to take some pictures. The first thing that we did was to route the main power feeds from the battery. Mike spent most of the morning routing the primary feed from the battery to the starter, mounting Mega fuse holders to protect the cables and installing the master disconnect switch.




While he was doing that, most of my attention was spent on the dash. We mounted the gauges then I wired the power, grounds, illumination and switches using our inDASH harness. Here is a picture of Mike checking my work.

I thought that the dash would be a separate piece like the Factory Five MKIII, but it is integrated into the fiberglass tub. Having it on the lift made this an easy job.

Here is the dash wiring just before I finished dressing it and zip tying the harness. The extra wires coiled up on the right go to the turn-signal & high-beam indicators plus the high-beam switch. We'll drill the holes for these after the body is on the frame. That way we can make sure that they are centered on the steering column.

Here is the gauge view.

As I mentioned, there are a ton of guys on the set workin on all of the different parts of the car. Here is a picture of the controlled chaos around the chassis.

Here's a shot of the POWERCELL mounted in the rear of the car. This is on the top tier of the decks in the trunk.

Stay tuned for more updates.
