Well here it is finally after a few weeks of waiting.
I decided to go ahead and install the RP-Performance stage 2 E-fan kit today and with great results.
First off let me thank Ryan for making such a great product, the quality alone is amazing and the SPAL fans and complete kit itself is a great investment for the Titan.
I'm running OEM Radiator (bypassed internal trans cooler) and 170* T-stat.
PRE-Install with clutch fan, i'd normally see 183-184* in cold conditions or even dead of florida summer with A/C.
Now...
E-fan controller set at 185*
After a quick 10 min drive after letting it warm up:
Ambient temp was 58*.
While crusing at 45-50mph monitoring via Cipher, lowest temp was 177.8*
The hottest temp was after the 10min drive and let idle for 12-15min with hood shut was 192.2*
The fans would then come on to a certain speed for maybe 3-4sec and temp would stay around 188.6.
So this E-Fan kit will keep the engine temps withing 1-1.5deg of controller temp setting. AWESOME! i can live with that!
Now, some recommendations:
I'd def recommend whether going with a Koyo/CSF/Stock radiators to keep your stock T-stat when using these E-fans.
Other wise you will def get to or below 176.2* when driving in 30-40* weather. Its up to you though.
Lastly, the only one addition i would make to this kit is a clamp/bracket fit onto the RP-Perf E-fan shroud on passenger side to secure the metal transmission cooler line.
Other than that it was an easy install maybe 1.5-2hrs. The only reason it took that long is the stupid stock clutch fan bolts will easily round off. So be careful, use some PB blaster to help out.
Installation....
The removal is self explanatory, after removing CAI, you have two bolts holding the factory shroud up top. I unbolted clutch fan and removed fan and shroud at same time.
Drain about half a gallon of fluid from the bottom of radiator, its a 3/4in plug.
Open radiator cap to see if its dropped below top radiator hose level and remove the hose.
Also remove the overflow hose from resevoir tank to radiator neck.
After that, everything comes out and just reinstall.
The Red is power/ Black is ground to the battery, the BROWN wire (fusible link) goes between + battery terminal and power wire. The 4 supplied allen bolts go into factory clutch fan threads in WP pulley.
NOTE!: Had to modify/trim the lower flap near A?C compressor about an inch across in order to prevent contact. All good otherwise!
Now for the pics and a quick vid of me rambling.
OEM Clutch Fan, POS hate you so much lol and you OEM bolts!!!

This pic shows all stock fan/shroud components removed. Note: The factory transmission cooler line on the passenger side (metal line). get to that in a min.

This is just showing the metal transmission line for those who are doing a Trans cooler install, just to show what it looks like and where it routes.

Top view of OEM fan/shroud removed. You get the idea lol.

RP-Perf Efan supplied allen head bolts threaded into WP Pulley. Very nice addition!

Finished Installation, Top view and so on. Some may route wiring differently, but this gives an idea of tru 4in CAI distance to RP-Perf shroud.

This shows Cipher Coolant temp of after a 15min drive and idle for 10mins with hood closed. Hottest was 192.2, and the fans were actually on briefly when the temp went to 188.6. They would turn on a off to keep temps around 186-188.

And there you have it lol. I will have to do some more driving and testing to see if i feel a difference in power and the MPG gain.
I barely got on it in this test just wanted to make sure it worked and monitored temps.
Hope you guys enjoyed the simple writeup. Its def a great product!!!
VID of aforementioned results.
ENJOY! If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Thanks!! Ryan (RP-Performance) and JOSH19K for the over the phone tips/help.
