ENHANCED ELECTRONICS

The vehicle’s power distribution system uses a balanced approach, combining the robustness of mechanical relays with the efficiency and reliability of solid-state technology. This comprehensive integration of circuits ensures the smooth operation and optimal performance of essential vehicle systems, representing the advancement and sophistication of modern automotive electronics.

The battery bus sends power to the starter, current sensor, and a 4-circuit distribution block.  The fused distribution block powers a Holley Dominator ECU, audio amplifier, auxiliary battery bus, and the Power Center.  The auxiliary bus, located in the rear of the vehicle, runs the AC/DC inverter.  The Power Center splits incoming power between a 12-circuit bus and a 15-circuit bus.

Mechanical (18) and solid state (6) relays are used to reduce the switching loads to high-power systems such as the 24-circuit ignition bus, 15-circuit accessory bus, head lights, ignition coils, and the water-methanal injection pump.

Battery voltage, alternator output and current draw are ECU inputs and displayed on the digital dash.
