Tungsten Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) First of all let me start by saying that I am not comparing fan controllers here. After I acquired all of the parts to do a Taurus 3.8 electric fan swap, I needed a proper dual speed controller. Dakota Digital, being my favorite car electronics company, had just what I needed. A PAC-2700 dual speed fan controller. Some of its features include: - Ability to use the factory gauge sender (even though this is not recommended by them) - Running the fan after the engine has been shut off to prevent heat soak - Battery overload protection - Temperature specific fan on and fan off modes - Air conditioner algorithm It's a really nice controller and here is a preview showing off that it works before I do a full write-up: This is taking a reading from the factory sender. The controller fully interacts with the factory gauge and sender and shows the corresponding temperature. Here is the write-up as promised: http://www.nissanpat...-taurus-38-fan/ Edited August 15, 2012 by Tungsten 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Looks like a good one how does this one compare with others price wise? I see Summit racing sells this one for $119 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) The actual controller retails for about $90. The extra is for the included 70A relay. Price-wise it is very competitive with the best controllers on the market with both its price and its features. Be aware that if you are going to go this route, make sure you are comfortable with wiring and programming. I will show how to do that really soon in this thread.

ahardb0dy Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 guess it depends where you buy it, summit sells it for $119, didn't look anywhere else, was just curious on how much it was, it looked expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Summit is pretty much the place to buy it then. You can get it either there or on Amazon. It is well worth the $119. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmoore4512 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Dakota makes excellent digital gauges... I would have more in my gauge set then my whole truck if I put em in my Pathfinder!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 I remember they had a complete cluster that could actually fit the space on the box dash models. No idea if it actually fits but it does look pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if it actually fits but it does look pretty amazing. No thanks. I dont need my Pathfinder to look like KITT. And it probably costs about as much as VG33 swap.

Tungsten Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 I wish I had the money to make the Pathfinder look like KITT inside. It's a personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
