Improved Racing Releases Oil Cooler Thermostat For C7s

improvedracing

New from Improved Racing – an oil cooler thermostat for C7 Corvettes. This unit is available in 180°F and 212°F minimum temperature ratings, and has an auxiliary port to hook up a sensor, oil supply line, or oil accumulator. See more details below.

Official Release:

Improved Racing has just released the first oil cooler adapter with a built-in thermostat for the C7 Corvette.

“The C7’s factory water-to-oil heat exchanger is acceptable for street use, but insufficient for track or performance use,” says the company’s President and lead engineer, Michael Ihns.

He says replacing the factory unit with a traditional air-to-oil cooler can reduce both oil and coolant temps at the track. “But without a thermostat,” he says, “you risk over-cooling the oil on the street and will experience long engine oil warm-up times, resulting in excess engine wear.”

The thermostatic adapter is available in 180°F and 212°F minimum temperature ratings. It features an auxiliary port that can be used for a sensor, a turbocharger oil supply line, or an oil accumulator with the company’s optional adapter fittings.

Improved Racing says that complete oil cooler kits for both the C6 and the C7 Corvette are in development and will be available soon.

Features:

  • Available in 180°F and 212°F minimum temperature ratings
  • Auxiliary port for a sensor, turbocharger oil supply line, or oil accumulator
