Descr
i
ption and Operation
Engine Cooling Comp onents - Normally Aspirated Vehicles

Engine cooling is via a low volume, high velocity system which achieves a very fast warm up. The temperature of the
combustion chambers is reduced along with a more even temperature distribution. The temperature of the bores is increased.

F r
om the pump, coolant flows into each bank of the cylinder bl
ock. In each bank, approximately 50% of the coolant cools the
cylinder bores and the remainder is diverted th rough the bypass gallery to the cylinder head.
With the thermostat closed, coolant returns directly to the pump through the bypass on the thermostat housing.
With the thermostat open, coolant returns to the pump via the radiator.
The cooling system uses a mixture of water and Jaguar Anti-Freeze/Inhibitor (Dow 542).
The cooling system on a supercharged engine is similar, but has additional components for cooling the intake air.

T
he cooling system for the supercharged engine is very similar
to the normally aspirated engine, but with the addition of a
water cooled, intake air charge cooling system. This comprises a radiator, an electrically operated water pump and two
charge air cooler assemblies (heat exchangers) - one for each bank. The system works independently, but is connected to the
main cooling system at the bottom hose to allow for therma l expansion and to help to prevent unwanted circulation.
The condenser for the air conditioning system fits between th e coolant main radiator and the charge air cooling system
radiator.

iator - Main Cooling System

A coola
nt outlet plastic pipe connects to the outlet port of ea
ch cylinder head to provide a common connection point for the
radiator top hose. It also incorporates the Engine Coolant Te mperature (ECT) sensor which provides a signal representing
coolant temperature at the cylinder heads. The outlet pipe has connections to supply the heater matrix and the bypass flow
to the thermostat housing. An in-groove ga sket, seals each of the outlet-to-cylinder head joints. An aluminium gasket seals
the ECT sensor to duct joint.
Coolant Outlet Duct - Supercharged

The coolant outlet duct on the supercharged engine performs exactly the same function as on the normally aspirated engine
and connects to the same ports on the engine. The main physical difference is that the thermostat housing has been
