The enjuku price....ridiculous!
I have this unit works great, also has the ability to be manually turned on via A/C button, defrost or a 12v switch.
It's not a complicated setup at all either.
I would have preferred a solid state relay vs a standard automotive relay. The price listed there...., it should come with two!!
My unit is mounted underneath the core support, hasn't had an issue.
This unit is being sold elsewhere for less than $50 search more better.

Can it support 2 fans or just one?

Dual means 2, that link has a description and even a manual IIRC

Yeah, they are the same company.

It has two leads on it for fans. So you can trigger a second.

The key thing with this kit is the adjuster. I never needed to adjust it but, the thermistor they use is a better quality than the kits that use the on/off style thermal switch to actually trigger the fans. The thermal switches have a lower service life and if they aren't activating when you want them too you are screwed.


My only problem is been finding a good A/C trigger. I don't want to splice the triple pressure switch as recommended in the manual. I was going to use the stock low speed wire but, it doesn't always seem to be on...

Solid state relay is a bad idea on a car, as it always leak current and a battery can deplete quite fast.

I know all the characteristics of a solid state relay, use them for HID quad projectors to h4 with working high and low beams. I know about the leakage as well, I just don't have a battery depletion problem.

I just think it would be more durable, when sliding the car around, but that's probably because I only have it zip tied down.

High amp switching consumable I would rather have a replaceable relay than an expensive solid state. For electrics like the HID example solid state would be better.
