Plug and play fan controller

[BeRight]

Posted on the other Spyder forum: I think I snagged Evoluziones last fan controller, and after getting everything wired up and configured... I should have taken a video of the Spyder as it was idled... it was 4 bars, the fan controller came on, and it cooled down to 3 bars. Thats IMPOSSIBLE for a Spyder to do on its own in 95 degree heat.. It usually hits 3, 4, 5 (fan comes on), 6..... Then I get scared... The cooling system has the capacity, BRP just didnt program in the proper fan on turn on point to catch the heat in time.. it gets so hot then cant catch up.

Evoluziones is offering to build more fan controllers if he gets at least 10 orders. Visit the other website and look for fan controller posting.

went to his site... didn't see anything... am I looking in the wrong place?

Check on the "other board". Evoluzione needs at least ten people to be interested before they bring the product back (I think they got five so far):

I like Ken and have bought many things from him--- but $165 is way too much for this. You can buy that SPAL PWM controller for 1/2 that price.

I guess if you're in a really hot climate and need it - it would be worth it.

I think a simple manual switch like others have done out here would cover most people with heat problems.

Ordered one too. I end up sitting in traffic a lot. I realize a manual switch is cheaper, but I like the idea of just setting a temp threshold and letting the fan kick in before I bake.

This might be the same product for $119.80 here:

And the installation instructions are here:

You're right..he's charging a lot more for the same product you listed...I don't think I need either at this time, but Ken should be fair in the pricing of the item...

:agree: That is one heck of a mark-up. For $120 I might snatch this up. Maybe something to do over the winter...

In Ken's defense, he is providing this stuff through his business, not just another Spyder owner trying to make a buck off some folks online. Also, if he put together a wire harness for it to easily attach to the Spyder and gives Spyder specific instructions on how to install it, it's probably worth the extra $40. I can tell you that the average person who wanted to do this and had to go out and aquire all the parts to make the wire harness could probably spend close to half the $40 on parts. Plus your time involved in making your own harness and figuring out where to wire it in is worth something.

This is probably true... good point.
