Complete E36/Z3 Electric Fan Conversion Kit

Race German Complete Electric Fan Conversion Kit – BMW E36 & Z3 6-Cylinder

Upgrade your cooling system with the Race German Complete Electric Fan Conversion Kit, designed specifically for all BMW E36 and Z3 models equipped with a 6-cylinder engine. This all-in-one kit replaces the factory engine-driven mechanical fan with a high-performance SPAL 16" electric fan, reducing parasitic engine drag while providing reliable cooling for both street and track use.

By eliminating the stock clutch fan, your engine no longer has to spin a heavy mechanical fan at all times. The result is a more efficient engine, improved throttle response, reduced rotating mass, and one less common failure point under the hood. Combined with the included 80°C thermostat and 80°C fan switch, this kit helps keep coolant temperatures lower than the factory setup, making it an excellent upgrade for spirited driving, hot climates, or modified vehicles.

To make installation as simple as possible, every kit includes the Race German Plug & Play SPAL Relay Harness, eliminating complicated wiring and ensuring dependable operation.

Whether you're refreshing your cooling system, preparing for the track, or simply replacing aging factory components, this kit provides everything needed in one convenient package.

Why Upgrade?

The factory mechanical fan is constantly driven by the engine, consuming power even when additional cooling isn't needed. Over time, the factory fan clutch and plastic fan blades can also become failure points, with broken blades capable of causing expensive damage.

The Race German Electric Fan Conversion:

• Frees up engine power by eliminating mechanical fan drag
• Removes the risk of factory fan blade failure
• Keeps coolant temperatures more consistent
• Modernizes your cooling system using proven SPAL components
• Makes future maintenance around the front of the engine much easier
