FFR Cobra Wired with the Infinitybox System

Finished Factory Five Cobra

In 2008, we started selling our Infinitybox systems.  We found our first success with guys building Factory Five Cobras.  These guys are tinkers.  They want something that they built, not bought.  They want their cars to be different and unique.  Our Infinitybox system has been instrumental for hundreds of Factory Five Roadsters, Hot Rods, GTM’s and 818’s.  With our system, guys can simplify their electrical system plus get features that no other system can provide.  We received these great pictures from Infinitybox customer Dan M.  He’s just finishing his Cobra build and is very proud of the results.

He squeezed the Ford Coyote 5.0 under the hood.  Check out how clean the engine compartment is.

He wired the system with our standard 20-Circuit Kit.  This universal system is powering all of the electrical functions in the car including the ignition, starter, head lights, high-beams, turn signals, brake lights, fuel pump, horn and cooling fan.  He integrated our system to the Ford ECU for the Coyote to simplify control of the ignition, starter solenoid, cooling fan and fuel pump.  You can download the Infinitybox wiring diagram that shows how to connect to the Coyote harness by clicking this link.

Dan added inLINK as an option to his kit to get our security functions.  Since this is an open top car, he wanted to do everything that could to prevent theft.  Since his 20-Circuit Kit is controlling the ignition, fuel pump and starter, the security functions built into the Infinitybox system completely immobilize the car when he locks it from the inLINK key fobs.  If a would-be thief were to try to hot wire the car, the Infinitybox system eliminates the ability to start the engine unless it is unlocked from the inLINK key fob.

Lastly, Dan added our inRESERVE battery management solenoid to his kit.  inRESERVE is an active battery management system that disconnects the battery if the voltage starts to drop.  This helps to reduce damage to the battery from deep-cycling and always leaves enough power in the battery to start the car.

This picture shows the rear POWERCELL mounted on the frame of the car.  It also shows some of the included harnesses, the primary fuses included in the kit to protect the power harnesses and the inRESERVE solenoid.

This picture shows how neatly Dan did up his trunk to hide the rear POWERCELL.  You can’t see any of the wiring but the system is also accessible in case you need to access the fuses.

We wanted to end this blog post with a quote from Dan.  He sent us an email with these great pictures and these comments about our Infinitybox system.

“I can’t thank you enough for the help you gave me and the system your company produces. I am planning on post pictures and a write up on the Factory Five Forum over the weekend. I will be telling other builders that if you are worried about wiring you car then Infinitybox is for you, it makes a complicated part of the build much easier to understand and complete. Thank you for a wonderful product.”

Thank you to Dan W. for sharing these pictures and the comments about our system.  We appreciate this and are proud to be a part of your car.
