Oil Cooler Thermostat for C7 Corvette LT1 LT4 Engines, 180F-212F
The C7 Corvette's water to oil heat exchanger is appropriate for a street car, but is wildly insufficient for track or performance use. Those looking to delete the factory heat exchanger and replace it with a high-efficiency air to oil cooler can use a thermostatic adapter to maintain precise control of oil temperatures.
The adapter features a built-in thermostat that automatically bypasses the cooler until the oil reaches operating temperature. No need to worry about over-cooling the oil or long warm-up times!
The adapter features standard female -08AN O-ring boss ports that accept optional male adapter fittings for -08AN, -10AN or -12AN lines.
Two interchangeable OUT ports provide flexibility in line routing. A plug is included for the unused port, or an optional sensor adapter fitting may be used for an 1/8" NPT or M12x1.5 sensor. The extra port can also be used as a turbo oil feed or for plumbing an oil accumulator.
Features and Benefits
100% bolt-on in place of the factory heat exchanger, just above the oil filter
Built-in thermostat helps reduce engine wear and horsepower losses by preventing oil temperatures from dropping below optimal levels
Maintains a minimum oil temperature of 180°F (82°C) or 212°F (100°C) in most conditions (select preferred temperature from the drop down above)
Rebuildable - just send it back to us and we will replace the thermal actuator, spring and seals
Extra OUT port can be used for a sensor, turbo oil feed line, or oil accumulator
Retains stock oil filter location
Oil exiting the adapter is filtered oil
6061-T6 billet aluminum construction with black MIL-A-8625 Type II anodized finish
High-temp Viton seals
Lifetime Warranty
Made in the USA
Includes
1x Thermostatic oil cooler adapter block for LT1/LT4 engines
1x Gasket
2x Zinc-plated steel mounting screws
1x -8AN plug
Detailed installation instructions
Optional Add-Ons
2x Black anodized -08AN, -10AN, or -12AN adapter fittings with Viton O-rings
1x 1/8" NPT or M12x1.5 sensor port adapter fitting
Installation Notes
Note: This oil adapter is designed for O-ring boss fittings with a straight thread length of 0.500" or less. We recommend using our fittings in order to guarantee proper fitment and seal.
We recommend using a straight hose end fitting for the OUT port and a 90-degree hose end fitting for the IN port. For additional clearance, use our low profile hose end fitting on the IN port (part number DO-090-10-08 (-8AN lines) or DO-090-10-10 (-10AN lines). Note only one O-ring boss adapter fitting is needed when using this low-profile hose end.
Applications
2014+ Chevrolet Corvette (C7), all models
May also fit other vehicles using the Gen V Chevrolet small block LT1, LT4, L86 and L83 engines
Does NOT fit the 2016+ Camaro SS oil pan

I have a Halltech external oil cooler on my 15 Z07... What would it take to install this onto my existing system( it takes forever for the oil to get even close to 180....)

Sorry not familar with the Halltech system so not sure what they are doing. The Thermostatic oil cooler adapter block bolts in place of the factory oil/water exchanger mounts on the block and you run the lines to the oil cooler and back.

That's what we plan to do...

On our installs we run a -AN4 line from "sensor out" to a mechanical oil pressure cage in the engine bay.

Just a tip, if you want more clearance around the oil filter, you can use this low profile hose end on the lower (IN) port instead:
http://www.improvedracing.com/an-swi...ing-p-321.html
Part number DO-090-10-08 for -10AN lines. You also would no longer need the adapter fitting.
