{"product_id":"c7-corvette-lt1-lt4-thermostatic-oil-cooler-adapter","title":"C7 Corvette LT1\/LT4 Thermostatic Oil Cooler Adapter","description":"The Improved Racing EGM-132 is a high-efficiency, bolt-on thermostatic oil cooler adapter designed specifically for C7 Corvettes with LT1 and LT4 engines, replacing the factory water-to-oil heat exchanger that is insufficient for track or performance use.\n\nThis adapter features a built-in thermostat that automatically bypasses the external air-to-oil cooler until the oil reaches its optimal operating temperature, typically 180°F (82°C), 200°F (93°C), or 212°F (100°C), depending on the selected thermostat. This ensures consistent oil temperatures, reduces engine wear, and minimizes horsepower losses associated with prolonged cold-start conditions or over-cooling.\n\nConstructed from durable 6061-T6 billet aluminum with a black MIL-A-8625 Type II anodized finish and equipped with high-temperature Viton seals, the EGM-132 is built for longevity and performance. It directly replaces the factory heat exchanger above the oil filter, retaining the stock oil filter location. The adapter features standard female -08AN O-ring boss ports, allowing for flexible plumbing with optional adapter fittings for -08AN, -10AN, or -12AN lines. Additionally, two interchangeable OUT ports offer versatile routing options, and one can accommodate an optional sensor adapter fitting for a 1\/8\" NPT or M12x1.5 sensor, or be used for a turbo oil feed or oil accumulator connection.\n\nThis product is made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty. It includes the adapter block, gasket, mounting screws, and an -8AN plug, with optional fittings and sensor port adapters available for purchase. Installation requires O-ring boss fittings with a straight thread length of 0.500\" or less; the use of Improved Racing's fittings is recommended for guaranteed fitment and seal.\n\nThe Improved Racing EGM-132 oil cooler adapter is compatible with 2014+ Chevrolet Corvettes (C7) and may fit other vehicles using Gen V Chevrolet small block LT1, LT4, L86, and L83 engines. However, it **does NOT fit** the 2016+ Camaro SS oil pan and **does not fit** the 2020+ Cadillac CT5 Blackwing.","brand":"Improved Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52860383494456,"sku":"EGM-132","price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687923519.jpg?v=1787767110","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/c7-corvette-lt1-lt4-thermostatic-oil-cooler-adapter","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
