For track and Street cars.

Twin racing-style oil cooler system for the C6 and Z06 Corvette with a 41/2 higher oil capacity instead of 8 quarts now 12 1/2, more oil = Cooler oil. Oil is the blood of your engine and as oil temps raise oil pressure drops. This system will drop oil temps on the track by about 45 degrees. Our last test with a stock Z06 oil cooler - temps were 275 and above after a 30 min event. With our new BPP twin oil cooler system, temps dropped to a very safe 235 degrees after 45 min of hard track driving. Professional installation is recommended. Call for more details.

Kit comes complete with 2 custom racing oil coolers, All Aeroquip SS Braided lines 12an and fittings, Block adapter & Mounting brackets.

Any data on the difference between a 11.5 LPE upgraded dry sump tank and your setup? Around town I can't get my oil temps above 178 on the street and 162 on the highway on my existing setup (2012 GS motor with LPE upgraded oil tank and Avaid baffle) and would be worried that your setup would keep oil temps even lower on the street, which is not good. I will have track data in 2 weeks with this setup to use as a baseline. My old LS2 would run above 275 with the stock Z06 cooler but also ran 30F hotter on the street.

The temps would really not go lower on the street. Once the engine gets to operating temps both the water and the oil work together to keep the engine cool. The big gains you will see on the track where our system shines. On most cars you will see a 40 to 50 degree drop at the track.

You should come by our shop in Ft. Lauderdale to explain and show the benefits of this system we have at least 4 cars here at all time with this system installed. We have been running this sytem on all our track Corvettes and have never been over 225 on the hottest track day and temps run between 175 and 182 on the street

wow! with temps like that i would run 0-20 weight racing oil and get another 5 HP !

I have a track friend who just bought a 2009 C6Z with your setup and rode with him at Homestead a couple weeks ago. Highest temp we saw was 219 F. The only resale I ask is because he made a comment about his oil running too cold on the street, so cold he can't check oil level properly.

I'm back out on Homestead's track 6/30 and 7/14. That should give me a good baseline to start with.

It is the best system out there proven on the track. They are mounted away from the radiator and have their own cooling ducts. the ones in front of the radiator block and heat up the air going to the cooling radiator.

Ernie,
Can you please explain how the cool air is led to the radiators? Obviously, you use the openings of the fog lights, but unfortunately these are on the border between high and low pressure.

Are there fans behind the radiators and where does the hot air go?

Thanks, Robert

bpproducts

Yes it goes through the fog light opening and usually on the backside you would cut the inner panel about 12x12 square to let the hot air out. it is not needed to run fans on them unless you are pushing over 700 hp in a race for over 40 min

Best setup out there that I have found .... I thought my gauges were broken it was running so cool after 6 laps in 90 degree weather at Cal Speedway. Great job Ernie!

Hey Earnie, hope you are well. Wondered if a set up like this could work on a C5 that has been changed to a front breather. Don't know if you remember my dark red C5 Race car at Road Atlanta last year. You tried to help diagnose the miss in the engine. Thanks. Jerry Stout

Really nice set up... easy to make for most DIY people for a 1/3 of the price.

Is breathless still around? I tried to email them but the email address online is not valid.

Last post here was in 2013....

Yeah I saw that but if you are out of business why maintain the expensive vendor status and a website?

rustyguns

Wow, 2k for an oil cooler. I need to open up shop as a corvette parts vendor. Vette tax in action.
