P1000 As anyone installed the DEI heat solution system

I've got a used 2016 Honda 1000-5 with a Honda heater (bought it this way), but the cabin heat is a buzz killer. I had the heat mod done, but it didn't help. So I removed and bought a insulation kit from one of you helpful guys on this forum. It has helped, but it is still and issue and the folks in the back still complain out loud about the heat.
The question is has anyone tried the heat kit from DEI with the one blower, temp control, wiring and instruction. ?? Please advise. I need to do something quick with summer coming in Tulsa, OK or I just bought an fall and winter toy.
I like the 2 fan set up but was looking a kit to make a easier. If someone has a complete kit list with parts for everything and some simple wiring instruction. I would be more than happen to buy it from the.
Please advise.
Thanks

I would skip all the insulation mods and install a fan, what I did after all the heat mods, will be taking the insulation out this fall under the seat and it will never go back in! I'm starting to wonder if the insulation kits let the ECU get to hot and freak out?

I have the DEI insulation kit with no fan, I used my own fan,mine is about 70% better than stock, my buddy bought the whole DEI kit and his is about 90% better because it takes the heat out and through the skid plate, I would do mine like that but I am running trail armor skid plates. Both kits are worth the money in my opinion.

I bought their insulation kit and am completely satisfied. Good fit, kills the heat and deadens sound as a bonus. The Honda fix is a joke.

I did two bilge fans and one solid piece of 60mil rubber from bottom seat front to top of seat back. Great difference in noise and heat to the front seat but it pushed more heat to rear floor board. I need to address it but haven’t yet.

I've got the honda update, the dei heat shield kit, and the dei fan kit. The fan kit did more to help with the heat than the insulation did, but even with all three if you ride slow in weather 85 degrees plus it does get warm after a while. The fan helps prolong the time it takes to get hot, but its not a total fix. Id say it reduced the heat 50 to 60 percent. As for the rear seats, the dei shield for the right rear footwell helped with heat from the header area but the seating still gets hot in the back. Its doable but not ideal for comfort...rear seats kinda suck anyways in the pioneer.

how does the DEI kit hold up if you get into deep water? thinking of buying it but don't want to drop $300 on something that's gonna go out if I get into deep mud

 

[Eric37866]

I don't purposely get into deep water, but i have been in mud and water almost up to the seat cushion a few times since installing the dei kit. Nothing was affected, although i did have to take my seat off and clean the mud from the fan fins afterward because it started vibrating the fan from all the mud caked on it.

What size fans are those?

 

[aauman88]

Two 3” 180cfm

I just went to walmart and bought two cheap vehicle sun shades and fitted them under the bench and behind the backrest. They practically eliminated the heat issue. I also installed an inverted shifter boot on the shifter which stopped that heat issue too.

1 10 inch fan will do the trick.

Did their fan and fan mount and ran it to exhaust out of the skid plate like they recomend and it melted the fan. Gonna put a bigger fan in and just ordered their seat heat shield.

Save your money and buy a 10 inch fan and mount blowing across the headers and no ducting.

You can keep screwing around with fans, or do this. Up to you but this shield works and it quiets the engine noise.. The 1 star rating is crap.

Installed heat shield last night. Noise in cab a little less. Coupled with a 4” blower fan blowing straight back I think money well spent. I’ll see how it does when after a long ride.

I can't wait to hear the suggtions you will receive. I complain about the heat too. Once I get up higher in the Sierra evelvation, it cools down nicely. Sierra Nevada, east of Fresno.

Too bad Honda doesn't step up and do something to address this issue, it seems to be a major flaw. IMO a recall should be issued. I just purchased a 2021 1000-5p over the weekend and immediately noticed the heat after a short ride, thought something was on fire. The build quality is cheap and the features are not what you'd expect for $17K. However, it is a Honda and I know that it will be a reliable machine. It will soon be decked out with accessories that are already on hand and some thermal insulation will be added.

What fan did you use?
