Improved Racing's thermostatic oil cooler adapters make it easy to add a performance oil cooler to your LS-family engine. The built-in thermostat automatically bypasses the cooler until safe operating temperatures are reached. No more worrying about over-cooling engine oil or long warm-up times!
This "bottom inlet" thermostatic oil cooler adapter is easy to install in the 5th generation Camaro and Pontiac G8 as it does not require adjusting the knock sensor to clear the oil lines. Unlike many other oil cooler adapters, it will also clear the LSX and Dart LS Next engine blocks without modification.
The thermostat block features an additional port which may be used for a 1/8" NPT or M12 sensor or as an oil feed for an oil accumulator or a turbo. For the C5 Corvette, choose the M12 sensor port option to retain use of the factory oil temperature sensor. The factory sensor will plug right in; no need to extend the sensor harness.
The adapter features standard female -8AN O-ring boss ports that accept optional male adapter fittings for -8AN, -10AN or -12AN lines. Purchase seperately
