Oil cooler port
Is there another place you can install a port for the oil cooler? I am familiarly with the port above the oil filter where the oil temp sender is factory on the Z06, however I have the TPE relocation kit for the oil psi sender and I don't want to remove it. I also may have space constraints in the area where the oil lines would go on a cooler system that uses that port. So is there anywhere else that you can install one?
TPE kit, old thread but still has pictures.

I'll need a bit more information, but there are lots of options. Are you saying you don't want to remove the relocation kit becuase it's a PITA, or because you need it? The DRM system has ports for the oil cooler and a third hole for the oil pressure sensor. That's probably the easiest.
Option 2 is the Canton adapter which doesn't use the factory port at all, it relocates the entier filter and lets you put it anywhere you want. I run both systems on different cars.

This ^^^ replaces the filter with the ability to plumb in two lines (obviously in and out).
You then use one of these:

for the filter and either plug the two ports you don't need or run them to coolers, accusump, whatever.

I have to use the relocation kit, or similar kit for the ls2 swap. The tower for the factory sensor is too tall, causing the sensor to hit the intake/cowl area. Then with the turbo build, I want to minimize the amount of space everything takes up near the sides of the block so I can run large enough piping. Granted I have done ZERO measuring up til this point, I may actually have enough room for one of the filter relocation setups and put a cooler in that way. I was curious/hoping, that there was another area that one can/could be plumbed in at.
