Improved Racing's bolt-on oil cooler kit for the C5 Corvette provides more cooling capacity than any other oil cooler kit on the market. Tested on a Spec Corvette race car, this kit will keep your oil temps at safe levels lap after lap on any road course.
This kit is not only essential for track use, but also perfectly streetable thanks to the built-in oil thermostat, which allows engine oil to reach safe operating temperatures quickly and prevent over-cooling of engine oil, especially in cold weather.
The kit includes professionally assembled, lightweight -10AN oil lines featuring a Viton rubber interior, stainless reinforcement to prevent kinking, and a fire-proof silicone-fiberglass insulation sleeve.
The thermostat is available in three temperature ratings: 180°F, 200°F, and 212°F. The 212°F unit is recommended for racing applications where a higher oil viscosity is used. The 180°F and 200°F units are recommended for street use. The non-thermostatic unit is for track use only as it will over-cool the engine oil in non-racing conditions.
The kit includes a new oil temp sensor that is compatible with the OEM C5 gauge cluster and features an extended wiring harness and plug-and-play connector.
Custom made "S" adapter fittings were also designed for this kit to avoid any excess cutting or modification to the factory radiator shroud, making the line plumbing as bolt-on as possible.
