Jaguar XKE E-Type V12 Series 3

These are THE most powerful electric Twin Fan Systems available for Jaguar's E-Type S3 V12.

Provides an extraordinary amount of air volume, significantly more than the old OEM unit.

Fans are mounted in a new handcrafted aluminum alloy shroud for easy installation.

A direct replacement fit using standard mounting holes.

Fully integrated automatic transmission oil cooler (Patent Pending) for even more cooling - this cooler will lower your radiator coolant exit temperature by an additional 10 degrees C - very cool!

Weighs a mere 15lb - complete.

Better fan shroud design with tighter tolerances, draws in only cool air through the radiator.

Keeps your V12 engine cool at idle and slow speeds where it counts - XKEs don't need fans above 35mph.

Proprietary design - NO drilling, NO welding, NO cutting!

We use only quality European automotive electric cooling fans.

Powerful sealed ball bearing high-torque fan motors, with low current draw.

Quiet, fully balanced blades. All fans include a 'finger guard'.

Installation instructions included.

Lifetime Warranty - (all v12s Fan Systems shipped after 1/1/2007).

This Twin Electric Fan System upgrade fits all Jaguar E-Type S3 V12 ONLY (does not fit S2 or S1 - see other listings).

Black aluminum alloy, as depicted.

Please specify year model when ordering.

Please note shipping time is 3 weeks after payment received and cleared - no exceptions. 

Please read ALL of the description above. Shipment is fully insured and arrives at your door in 7-10 business after it is shipped, total time to receive is around 30+ days, international takes longer, costs more - ask before bidding. Handcrafted in USA. International buyers: VAT/GST and DUTY is your responsibility.

Here are some of our valued customer's comments:

"It was 95 and sunny yesterday ... the temperature just barely reached the "N" and that was with a fair amount of idling in traffic!"
J, Texas - Ultimate II Dual Fan System (XJS V12)

"A note to let you know that i have now fitted my electric fan kit, i started on tuesday 20th and finished friday 23rd, Following your Instructions i removed the top radatior mounting/fans/shroud, The radatior was removed cleaned interanly and exteranly, any bent fins strightend and resprayed in mat black. Oil cooler and A/C condenser blown out, All hoses checked, fan studs removed, header tank checked repainted, New Thermostatic fan switch installed, New radatior sealing foams all round fitted, new fan system fitted, new Jaguar anti-freeze (green). I mounted the new relay on a small bracket just above the H/tank on end of relays power taken from horn relay supply, I used the live power terminal on your driver side bulkhead for the fan feed with in line fuse fitted (checked voltage 12.3 v engine not running). On start up an running the car the fan speed increases, The tempature gauge does not climb as high as it use to ( mid normal). It now runs at just below the "N" on the gauge, the 2nd fan comes in at around mid "N" on gauge. I am very pleased with the conversion the car seems livier and we have noticed more MPG on the trip computer, Our petrol is £ 1.15 p PER LITRE UNLEADED . Thanks for your help and for suplying the fans."
Lewis, Great Britain - Ultimate II Dual Fan System (XJS V12)

"Just tooling around, stop and go, they (fans) cycle on and off regularly, which is what I would expect, and so far the temp guage has not even reached 'N'. Will probably get there after I get the AC charged and start using it. I have a lot of experience with hot rods and electric fans, and I can tell you that these work very well! thanks again!"
Bob, Arizona - Dual Fan System in Aluminum (XJS V12).

"Finally I have my twin fan setup installed and running in my V12 XJS. Anyone who owns an XJS with a V12 should have this mod done immediately. You have to experience the difference to know . . . and I am sure that my car could now operate in the Mojave Desert without any problem with AC on! Thank you, thank you."

The v12 Analogy
Think of a v12 engine as you would think of a freight train. If you were driving a Freight Train you wouldn't put the brakes on when you get to the station, you would put the brakes on a long way before you get to the station.

This concept applies to the v12 engine. You wouldn't start your cooling fans when you reach operating temperature, you would start your cooling fans before you reach operating temperature. There's a lot of metal and a lot of fluids that need to be cooled and it can't happen instantly.

FAQ

Q. Which type of fan system is best?

A. We only build fan systems that draw air through the radiator, sometimes referred to as 'puller fan systems'. This is most efficient.

Systems that try to push air through a radiator face two problems: 1. they're only about 80% efficient because the radiator deflects at least 20% of the air, and 2. the fans themselves actually block the airflow to the radiator, whether the fans are running or not. Our fan systems work better.
 
Q. What's the airflow difference between flat and curved blade fans?

A. How long is a piece of string...? - there are too many variables to give a definative answer to this question.

The patent for curved blade fans (S-Blade) only claims that the fans are quieter than flat blade fans; but the number of blades, the pitch, the strength of the motor and other features could make a curved blade fan output more airflow or less airflow.
 
Q. Do I need a fan cowl?

A. Our electric fan systems are complete with a handcrafted cowl. A fan cowl will allow your electric fans to draw air across the whole surface area of your radiator. If you simply attach one or a couple of electric fans to your radiator core without a cowl then you will reduce your ability to cool your engine by at least 30% - 40% or more.

It's a big mistake to simply insert an electric fan in an old mechanical fan cowl and attach it to your radiator as the cowl is now ineffective.
 
Q. What's the difference between a 'Dual' and 'Twin' Fan System?

A. A twin fan system has two fans that are identical in size and performance, a dual fan system has two different size and performance fans.  E-Type Fan Systems are Twin Fan Systems.
 
Q. Should I use a thermostatic switch with a relay?

A. Yes. A thermostatic switch to control your fan relay(s) will: 1) allow faster engine warm-up, 2) prevent battery drain by cycling the fans on and off, only as needed, and 3) extend the life of your electric fans.  We have a replacement solution for the Otter switch and OEM relays available (but not included with this listing).
 
Q. Should I use colder thermostats?

A. No. Your engine was designed to run at a specific temperature for emissions, performance and fuel economy. If you install colder thermostats then your engine will take longer to warm up, creating carbon deposits and more emissions.
The key to keeping a healthy engine cool is to give it enough cool fluids, ie. coolant and oil (and some ventilation), and to start the cooling of those fluids before the engine gets too hot.
 
Q. Should I use radiator hose filters?

A. No. If you change your radiator fluid on a yearly basis then you don't get dirty radiator fluid. Adding filters moves the blockage to another location but doesn't help your engine.
 
Q. My car runs hotter the faster I drive, will your fan system fix this?

A. Cars don't need fans when driving above 35mph. If your engine starts getting hotter as you drive faster then your engine has a serious problem and an electric fan system won't help you.

Have your engine oil analysed to determine whether you have engine damage before spending any money on fixing overheating problems. Try do it yourself oil and fluids analysis services.
