Hello to all,
We hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving. Most of us are out of this office this week catching up with our families for the holiday. We'll be back in the office ready to go on Monday.
In the meantime, we got an email from the folks at Brenton Productions, the SPEED Channel and Two Guys Garage. The SPEED Channel is running a Two Guys Garage marathon on Saturday December 4th starting at 2:00 PM Eastern. Check with your local cable provider for details.
The first three episodes in the marathon are the ones that we shot with the Factory Five Racing team when we helped them wire their '33 Hot Rod. Tune in to watch us all build the car in 4 days.
Mike and I spent a week on the set with the Factory Five Guys, Dart Engines, Monster Transmissions and of course Bryan Fuller and Kevin Byrd. We install a 3-Cell Kit with inLINK in the Hot Rod, replacing the traditional car wiring that you get with the kit. You can see where we mount the MASTERCELL and POWERCELLs plus see the simplified wiring in the car.
Here are the details for the whole marathon. Check it out.

Wiring the Ford ECU for the New Coyote 5.0L Crate Motor...
We have had a few customers ask how to interface the engine management system for Ford's new Coyote 5.0 engine. If you haven't seen this yet, check it out. It is an awesome package. The new five liter engine, throttle-by-wire, complete and turnkey. Tons of power.
Wiring the ECU with an ISIS 3-Cell Kit is a breeze. Ford did a great job designing this wiring harness and made everything simple. There are only a few wires off of their FRPDB (Ford Racing Power Distribution Box) that you need to connect to the POWERCELL outputs.
Blunt Lead 1 (Red/Light Green wire) gets connected to POWERCELL 1 Output 3 (Light Green wire) which is the ignition signal.
Blunt Lead 2 (Dark Green) gets connected directly to the fuel pump positive. If desired a relay could be used to switch this from a positive signal to a ground signal and then connect it directly to a MASTERCELL input and then just connect the fuel pump to the rear POWERCELL. If you wanted to do some modifications inside of the Power Distribution Box, you could probably rewire this to a ground signal output. Give us a call if you want more info.
Blunt Lead 3 (Red/Light Blue wire) gets connected to POWERCELL 1 Output 4 (Light Blue wire) which is the starter signal.
Blunt Lead 4 (Dark Blue/Orange wire) goes to the clutch interlock or neutral switch depending on the type of transmission.
Blunt Lead 5 is the tach signal
Otherwise connect the main feed to the Power Distribution Box to the battery and connect the grounds as noted. That is it for the connections between ISIS and the engine harness.
Contact one of our technical service guys with more questions on how to wire this, or any other ECU into your car with the ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System.

I can be okay with Runner Up...
Our company is built on innovation. We know that sitting idle with technology is a recipe for disaster. I am honored to have a group of tremendous talented and creative folks over here at ISIS Power.
From our first debut of the ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System in 2008 at SEMA, we have been recognized as innovators. We won Best New Product in Mobile Electronics at the 2008 SEMA show for our original inTOUCH product plus 5 Global Media Awards.
As I have emailed and blogged about recently, the 2010 SEMA show was a chance for us to highlight our engineering and development efforts. New products like inMOTION, inRESERVE, inTOUCH MAX and inTOUCH Mobile are great examples of the technology that we can bring to restorations, hot-rods, muscle cars, Pro-Touring, racing, kit cars and 4-wheel. Our goal is to make car wiring easier plus get our customers more control over their electrical accessories.
This link will take you to the announcement from SEMA for the products recognized at this year's show as the best of the best. They had a record number for entrants, more than 2,000. (I was wrong in my previous blog post and emails. I thought that it was only 1,500.) I am very proud of our team to be recognized as runner-up in that broad field as the Best New Engineered Product for our inTOUCH MAX system.

Custom Classics Mustang...
They just finished an awesome 1967 Mustang for a customer. This car has a full ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System install powering everything. You can see more pictures of the car and get details at this link.
The car has one of our 3-Cell Kits with inLINK installed in it. The MASTERCELL is above the pedals. One POWERCELL is in the trunk and the other is behind the left-front fender. It is a pretty basic installation and you can't see a single wire in the car.
Outside of our 3-Cell Kit, the car has:
- 4.6 3 valve mod motor with Kenny Bell super-charger
- TKO Tremec 5-speed transmission
- Built Ford 9" rear-end with Heidts 4-Link rear suspension

SEMA 2010 Coming to a Close...
Greetings to all,
The 2010 SEMA show has finally come to an end after 4 days of meeting people, demonstrating our new products, standing and talking. All in all, I call it a success for us. We came in as runner up in the Best New Engineered Product category for our inTOUCH MAX product, won a Global Media Award for our inTOUCH Mobile, met tons of new prospective customers and caught up with tons of our existing customers.
Lots of people contributed to our success at this year's show. I want to first thank all of the people that came by the booth to learn about the ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System for the first time. They had a hands-on opportunity to learn how we can help them wire their cars easier.
I also want to thank all of our existing customers who came by the booth to cheer us on, ask questions and introduce themselves to let us put a face to the name. We spend a lot of time on the phone with our customers and we love to meet them in person.
I also want to thank all of the customers at home who have been patient with us while we have been on the road this week. We do our best to keep up with emails and voice messages while we are away, but I know that I am way behind.
Finally, I want to thank our ISIS team. Everyone went out of their way to make sure that his show was a success specifically Mike, Duane, Anna, Chris and his entire team at I Squared Engineering. Honorary members of our team now include Kevin Hines from Special Editions and the entire Mischik family.
I am sitting in the hotel with a lousy Internet connection and no USB cable so I can't download the pictures and videos off of my camera. I'll do that when I get home tomorrow.
Thanks again!
Jay

Another award for ISIS at SEMA 2010...
Well... we were awarded another Global Media Award this year for our new ISIS inTOUCH Mobile product.
The Global Media Awards are given by a team of international magazine editors who select a limited number of new products that they feel would be of interest to their readers. Sixteen different countries were represented by this year's panel of judges.
Our inTOUCH Mobile product was selected by Juan Carlos Cuellar, editor of Sobre Ruedas, a Honduran automotive enthusiast magazine.
Thanks to Juan Carlos and all of the other judges on the panel. This is another great win for the ISIS Power team.

Update from SEMA 2010...
Greetings to all from the 2010 SEMA show in Las Vegas,
We're set up and have made it through day 1. The booth looks great. Our two customer cars really stand out and are a great draw. Here is a quick video of it from the end of the day yesterday when we finished setting it up.
We had 4 entries in the New Products Showcase. Two of them were launched earlier this year: inMOTION and inRESERVE. We're thrilled to announce two new and very unique interfaces to the ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System.
The first is our new inTOUCH MAX System. This is a double DIN sized touch screen that becomes a complete interface to the system. Check out the sell sheet here.
The second is inTOUCH Mobile for Apple Devices. This is our new Wi-Fi interface with an Apple app that allows you to control your ISIS system in your car through an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad. Check out the sell sheet here.
While we were hoping for the coveted title of Best New Product of the Year for one of our submissions, we placed as runner up in the Best Engineered New Product category for inTOUCH MAX. Yes, we are a little disappointed. However, considering that there were 1,500 new products submitted, we still think that we did okay.
We've shot some videos of both inTOUCH MAX and inTOUCH Mobile products in action and will get them out tomorrow for you to see. Stay tuned for more ISIS Power updates from SEMA.
