Porsche Track Car Wired with ISIS

Here's a great example of how our ISIS Power system can help you wire your race car.  The ISIS Intelligent Multiplex System was designed for harsh-duty and off-highway vehicles so it can handle the rigors of the track.  Its multiplexed architecture reduces the overall weight of the electrical system in the car, which is critical for racing applications. 

In the case of this track car, the team started with a 1999 Porsche 911.  It is a 996 series.  They have done some amazing things to engine to boost power and reduce its weight.  Once they did that, it was time to wire the car.  The first thing that they did was to strip out all of the OEM wiring that wouldn't be needed.  This picture gives you a good feel for what they took out of the car. 

Everything said and done, they saved about 30 pounds of weight by eliminating the OEM wiring and wiring the car with ISIS. 

They need all of the basic functions in the car: ECU power, starter solenoid, headlights, turn-signals, pitting lights and fuel pump.  The team used our 3-Cell Kit to wire all of these functions in this race car.  The 3-Cell Kit is a 20-circuit universal wiring harness. 

They mounted the front POWERCELL under the hood.  This is powering all of the front electrical functions.  This pictures shows how they have the front POWERCELL mounted in the car. 

The rear POWERCELL is located above the engine compartment behind the driver's seat.  This cell is powering all of the functions in the rear of the car.  This picture shows where they have the rear POWERCELL mounted. 

These two POWERCELLs are connected through a simple data cable to the MASTERCELL.  The MASTERCELL is the brain of the system and all of the switches get wired to it.  They mounted the MASTERCELL in front of the shifter which made all of the switch wiring very short.  Here is a picture of how they mounted the MASTERCELL. 

The finished product is simple, clean and reliable.  They were able to shave a significant amount of weight from the total car plus build in some custom programming to suit the driver's requirements.  If you are ever at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois or Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit, Illinois, keep an eye out for this car.
