I'll let him confirm this, but I think Jason wasn't really satisfied with the quality of the ISIS system and the control boxes or whatever the hell they're called were bigger then he expected.


Troux, It looks like you did that relocation in the same type of "garage" I did mine

 

Sucks, but making it work.

 

Thats right! They were much bigger than I expected! The hardware itself isn't big - just the plastic encasing.

I've attached photos of the ISIS next to my iPhone.. also a photo of the Motec PDM installed on a bike (it's the unit with the 3 autosport plugs [round ones]).

 

Wow! I've been reading about MoTec's PDM systems, they are amazing.

Other than ISIS & MoTec, is there anybody else that manufactures a similar product.

I'm still trying to figure out each imput and output it seems like you would
need 2 of the PDM30's to run a full trim street car (radios,navigation, subs, etc.)

I'm nit huge on stereos, but I do like the idea of having options.

But this would totally change a loom job.

Jason, are you going with the MoTec?

 

The motec unit is as cheap as they come on this one. Life Racing's unit is still about $6k (for a small one). The PDM32 system is not enough to wire a complete FD chassis.. you would need at least two units.

The ISIS "3 cell" kit is more than enough to wire in the complete FD chassis (factory alarm included). I'd like to see wireless and LCD/monitor (watch this for demo: http://www.isispower.com/V8_interview.php) like the ISIS unit but geezz that'll surely be a $20k+ system right?

It doesn't change it - it makes it easier!

 

np i was just trying to prevent opening a new thread, and obviously its still being talked about beside my intial question so it seems like it was helpful... but i dont wanna get into an arguement about that so we can just drop it

thanks, ive seen that site before, i used it to relocate my battery but looking more specific how to move the fuse boxes...

Thats dopeeeee! do u have a 93 or 94? i just took my airbag sensors off too (aftermarket steering wheel, no pass airbag <<<93) but gotta take the other wires out..

Just moves my fan relays in the same spot! no oil cooler tho...

for the body harness.. did u just eliminate and move wires or did u extend the harness aswell?

 

I have a '94. I completely unwrapped the front harness, eliminated wires (What a process. Lots of reading the diagrams.), then rewrapped it in front of the front bumper support. Only a couple wires had to be cut and resoldered, most could be disconnected and rerouted, but none had to be extended. Only the fuse box relocation required extension, and for those I went up at least a gauge.

 

Attached is my early-2000's solution to centrally relocating ALL fuses and relays at one convenient location. BTW, the WeatherPak connector is for the battery's tickle-charger.

As much as I would LOVE a PDM15 / 30, there is isn't enough functionality added to my setup to offset the significant expen$$$e (IMO). That said, please let me know if anyone sees a used one for a sweet deal!

 

Hey Scrub,

Were you able to get back to my PM to you?

 

Sorry about that buddy... I still have it in my inbox, but you asked for a lot of info and I haven't had a chance reply to it in full yet. I'll try to sit down later tonight or tomorrow and knock it out

 

xD

No problem man, take your time!!!

 

I'm selling my ISIS system stupidly cheap.. PM me if you're interested in more details.

 

where did you find this battery box?

 

It's been so long I honestly can't remember, but I did a google search for PC680 mount and found this..... link

You can probably find one cheaper if you do a more in depth search.

 

thanks!

 

I'm seriously considering going with the Motec PDM30. I wonder what kind of issues I might run into running a PFC?

 

I have a basic wire diagram in Excel if you need it for a MoTeC PDM30. I am still tweaking it and need to input the wire lengths once I get my FD back.
