C7 Corvette LT1, LT4, LT5 Oil Cooler Adapter with Thermostat, 180ºF

Description: The C7 Corvette's water to oil heat exchanger is appropriate for a street car, but is wildly insufficient for track or performance use. Those looking to delete the factory heat exchanger and replace it with a high-efficiency air to oil cooler can use Improved Racing's thermostatic adapter to maintain precise control of oil temperatures. Improved Racing's adapter features a built-in thermostat that automatically bypasses the cooler until the oil reaches operating temperature. No need to worry about over-cooling the oil or long warm-up times!The adapter features standard female -8AN O-ring boss ports that accept optional male adapter fittings for -8AN, -10AN or -12AN lines. Two interchangeable OUT ports provide flexibility in line routing. A plug is included for the unused port, or an optional sensor adapter fitting may be used for an 1/8" NPT or M12x1.5 sensor. The extra port can also be used as a turbo oil feed or for plumbing an oil accumulator. Features and Benefits 100% bolt-on in place of the factory heat exchanger, just above the oil filter Built-in thermostat helps reduce engine wear and horsepower losses by preventing oil temperatures from dropping below optimal levels Maintains a minimum oil temperature of 180°F (82°C), 200°F (93°C), or 212°F (100°C) in most conditions (select preferred temperature from the drop down above) Rebuildable - just send it back to us and we will replace the thermal actuator, spring and seals Extra OUT port can be used for a sensor, turbo oil feed line, or oil accumulator Retains stock oil filter location Oil exiting the adapter is filtered oil 6061-T6 billet aluminum construction with black MIL-A-8625 Type II anodized finish High-temp Viton seals Lifetime Warranty Made in the USA Available in -8AN, -10AN, or -12ANDimensions Includes 1x Thermostatic oil cooler adapter block for LT1/LT4 engines 1x Gasket 2x Zinc-plated steel mounting screws 1x -8AN plug Detailed installation instructions Optional Add-Ons 2x Black anodized -8AN, -10AN, or -12AN adapter fittings with Viton O-rings 1x 1/8" NPT or M12x1.5 sensor port adapter fitting Installation Notes This oil adapter is designed for O-ring boss fittings with a straight thread length of 0.500" or less.
