- Here’s my fan conversation on my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder with 180k miles on it
I used electric fans from a 2004-2010 Altima/350-370z
Fans-Dual Radiator and Condenser Fan... www.amazon.com...
Harness- FAERSI 185-200 Degree Electric... www.amazon.com...
Temp controller- DZS Elec Temperature Controller... www.amazon.com...
Mounting hardware- Upgr8 Universal Fan Mount Kit... www.amazon.com...
Now this guy is smart and works smart-- for one he just lifted the airflow duct up and out of the way without undoing 40 extra bolts. I can tell just from that he's got it going on.
Very nice man. I’m seriously considering this on my Xterra after watching this.
Good ish. Need a written out diagram on how you did that
Nice. I’ve seen people use the newer 14+ Altima fans. I myself have a Mercedes E350 single fan. This swap definitely improves acceleration, but I think clutch fan is more reliable.
Yeah it’s definitely more reliable. I have just gone through 3 clutches to not sounds like a dump truck. The max fan rpm was around 2500-3000 before it released and I was a straight Peter built

You should listen to a 4.7 LandCruiser. That thing is insanely loud for a passenger vehicle. But I like it when off-roading!
@@Agent.K. I had a Titan clutch for a week and it was sooooooo Loud. It was squealing my belt
Nice simple mod. but that oem shroud is important. My 07 Nismo 4x4 has never overheated and on a hot day coolant Temps are only 195 at its highest with 250k miles plus on the block. If you've already overheated I'd check the head gasket or the heads might be warped
I’ve never overheated. It’s gotten a little hot in the past front failed parts but always shut off
Oem shroud will do nothing when those fans he mounted don't match the shroud. The E fans have their own shroud. If fan and shroud doesn't match it will not pull air correctly. His set up is very good compared to oem fans....
Just bought a 2018 Frontier, cant believe the design flaw on the coolant system, my 2016 pathfinder was burning fans too.
Can you provide me details on the fan you use for the condenser
I am currently working on prepping the Z1 Offroad all aluminum radiator bundle for my '06 Pathfinder and am going electric with the fans. I am using Perma cool fans and the same controller as you. Is there anyway to get a mid-speed and full speed option from just the controller? I messed with the fan at home and tested with an LED light dimmer, which did control the speed but that was just testing; looking for a more applicable solution for installing the fans in the engine bay. 🤔
@@mo4low it’s possible to do so, but you may even need two controllers. The way that these fans are wired it will change the speed depending on which pins have power. Theoretically, all you need is another circuit to provide power to the extra pin. the controller I used is just a single relay essentially. When it reaches the target temp, it closes the circuit if you had two of them you could do it.
I'm going to do this to my 2006. Did you leave the temp sensor in the top hose of the radiator or did you relocate it?
Should the fans cover all the area of the radiator?
Did you notice performance gains and fuel economy gains?
It’s two years on, how have the fans been running? I’m looking at doing this exact same thing using 2001 Altima fans.
Hey dude, did you fit in a 10inch fan aswell? If so where did you mount it
You don't run into any issue by not having your shrouding on ? I thought about going with twin electric but my X never has had any heat issues with the clutch fan / electric
I mean there no point of having it. The e fans have there one shroud that grips the radiator. If I was to do it again though I you keep the fan clutch abs shroud but add 2nd factory electric fan in the right side also.
@@garbinsgarage yeah it's a interesting design how they used a pull fan configuration on the electric. Since it requires the clutch fan shroud to have large gaps where the electric fan needs to mount .
@@NKaumans well most vehicles use a puller e fan or fans. More effective then a pusher
Where did you get your head lights pls tell me I need them for my frontier
You’ve got skills. Nice vid.
So if I just wanted to wire it on high speed only how should I wire it?
Straight to the factory fan harness. But it can’t handle that much power. You ac. Hook up one to the factory power and the other to a 2nd harness you’ll have to add
Ok thank you very much for the info
Where did you get the front bull bar for the pathfinder?
Amazon. Made by top line
Did you see a bump in power?
There’s a lot of people saying this about doing E fan fan swap but the truth is there isn’t anything noticeable. I’ve driving this truck with a Dump truck locked fan clutch and I didn’t Norman’s any Rob of power. Feel identical. Some may claim that but in my experience there was nothing. No change in MPG either
Would the g37 fans fit in here?
Is there a way to do this customization on a 2006 4.0. frontier?
Yes
Can you provide links to the harness relay, switch and probe?
It’s all in the description
The relay that is only one of the factory of the ac is activating two fans or only one ??????
Both fans but a low speed 6v because the fan has its own resisters . The 2nd harness powers the remains 6v.
So you are telling me that you are using the original relay of the nissan connected in series to two fans and a second wiring for the hi
@@ramonarroyo3471 they are wired parallel. The new fans have 3 wires. 2 power and 2 ground. I hook the factory 12v supply to one power wire and then the other power wire to the new harness
@@garbinsgarage then the second harness to build is with a single relay also connected in parallel to two fans Because in the video you can see two raley in the fire wall
@@ramonarroyo3471 only one is for the fans. The other is for lights. The 2nd harness works like anything else providing 12v to the second wire an both fans. Fans are wired together in parella and share both the same power sources
I know it's a cooling fan video but I can't help asking about the wheels, what sized are those rims and tires?
They are factory 17x7.5 from a new pathfinder and 33in nitto ridge grapplers. (285/70r17)
@@garbinsgarage do they rub when turning or flexing?
@@rgachinga1 not much when I first put them on and that’s with a 2in lift. They rubbed really bad when I put spacers on. Nothing a little cutting couldn’t fix
@@garbinsgarage what size of spacer did you use? I'm getting a 3 inch nisstech suspension lift and looking at spacers and 33's with the same factory rim. I really don't want to cut much unless necessary...
@@paulcarrillo8025 I have 1.5in spacers. Cutting was necessary. I cut the bottom of the bumper and pulled the fender liner forward. I also cut away most of the mud guard and had to bang part of the body panel out of the way
How did you mount the 10inch fan?
It came with some pull throws zip tie things that slide through the fins and hold in place
What model year range Altima and 350z work ?
I linked the fan in the description that I used. It’s shared between the Morano, Altima, maxima and 350z. Mid 2000s year range for all. 2004-2012 roughly
Will this work on the 2.5l?
Depends how big your radiator is. If it’s 28-30 in wide then yes it will work. You just have to figure out the wiring
Would these fit on a 2014 Nissan Armada?
I believe the armada has a bigger radiator and these fans may not put out a enough to cool the VK56 engine (5.6 v8). However, you can use the single electric fan from a Dodge ram truck that run for about $150-200 on Amazon. As long as you can wire electronics and somehow make a custom mount then it’s definitely possible.
Did this increase fuel milage?
Not really. The factory fan clutches will lock and unlock because of the fluid coils temp sensor on the front. If you have a bad fan clutch that is always locked and screaming like a dump truck it’ll definitely create more drag but not much. Probably 1/4 mpg
Anybody do this on a Titan?
The rad is bigger. If I was to do this again I would use a ram 1500 single fan
Could you post a diagram pic. Its too blurry to read in the video.
