Custom is your only option.

So here is a link for the black magic fan. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-188 For about the same price as 2 perma cool fans and controllers. But its one fan rated to pull 3300 CFM. So what are pros and cons of either? It is a 16 inch fan and it has a good sized shroud around it... edit: the one I posted above is just the fan. This one includes the controllers and temp sensors and all that. $300 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-180/

Holy hell those tires are MASSIVE with respect to the Path even with the lift...

Just buy the earlier SE grill...

Great information! I was just looking on the flex-a-lite site and passing out as i saw the prices... One question, are you wiring the second fan to come on at a certain temperate AND with the A/C on or just have both fans come on at certain temperatures? If I could wire the second fan to come on at either a certain temperature or having the A/C on if I can, I am sure it is possible. The reason I ask is because I am wondering if just having the second fan come on at a higher temperature would be fine? I do a lot of highway driving and if the air can keep the engine cool enough without the fans coming on I would rather them not come on. Honestly, I think $250 is reasonable for a mod like this where the only possible outcome is benefits if it is done right...not to mention with the way gas prices are going it will pay itself off sooner (years instead of decades) Thanks for the info!

shift220: I want the best quality for the price, so if it means a used OEM fan from another car so be it. And thanks for shedding some light on the thermostat. I am pretty comfortable wiring, so that is not a big concern for me. I just want a reliable sensor and a sturdy set up since I sometimes spend a lot of time in traffic. I will be doing more research on the thermostat in the next couple days...

I read a quote from Dean (xplorx4) somewhere saying that between the fin style sensors were not as accurate. I want to do this the best way possible. I would like to do a big fan, maybe the same size as the stock fan if I could set it up to be a dual speed fan and if it could pull the same CFM as the stock fan. Doing that would allow me to modify the existing shroud to fit the electric fan so I can retain the benefits of the shroud.

So I want to do an electric cooling fan conversion. Can anybody shed more light on this than I have gathered so far, as well as provide some definite specs: 1. How much does the stock mechanical fan pull? I am guessing a two fan set up would be best, one coming on at a certain temperature (if you know the best tell me!) and the other either coming on with the A/C or coming on at a higher temperature. I am assuming the total CFM of both the electric fans should be comparable to the stock mechanical fan. 2. I know nothing about the temperature sensors used to turn these on. Where do I get them, how do I adjust the temperature, etc. I would assume one that attaches between the radiator input (upper?) and the hose would be best, does such a thing exist or do I have to tap into the radiator or what? 3. Any recommendation on fans? Is there any way to have both fans come on low power at a lower temperature and have them both kick to high power at either a higher temperature or the A/C being turned on? 4. Anything else I am missing? I think if we can get some definite answers and someone who actually does this it can be a very useful mod (and hopefully somewhat cheap) for R50 owners. Thanks in advance, Mike

Im sorry, I cant look at those pictures because theres a nasty foot in all of them...

Someone post a writeup and price list when you do this...

There is an HKS (I believe) system that WAS made for our Pathfinders, but it has been out of production for a long time. Full custom is the only way you will get this done.

a little off topic but this is why hybrids of today can't even match the Honda CR-X's mileage from 20 years ago...

I don't quite follow what your saying, but both vacuum ports on the side of my K&N intake tube were used, and I had no SES...If you don't have everything covered then you are missing one of the vacuum tubes...

i have no idea, i am interested in hearing if someone knows or if they do it what the results are...

You don't think even WD21 disks would be better than R50 drums?

I cannot believe how incredibly sexy that thing looks...me want.

Dollar menu...

If you come to MD you can have mine to work on...

Better than the "dog rubbing ass on carpet" look that you get out of 4runners and explorers...and follow Jose's advice to contact daddyrim, he is an NPORA member who is beginning to sell parts for the Pathfinders, 1" will give you 1" inch of lift, they move your entire strut assembly down 1"...

I thought you were talking about the load sensing valve but I wanted to make sure. Let us know how your custom springs settle and wear since other people may want to get them...

What is the big spring you are talking about? And what did you do for the rear lift? i.e., what springs did you use?

Good luck, you will need some patience to get through some parts of the project, I think thats when most people give up. Be sure to post up pics as you go along...

Looks badass, congrats!

My 01 SE only has the flip down visor...

Thats a great mod! I will have to look for a QX4 next time im at the JY
