Hi to all
Guys i need your help.I am looking for a oil cooler kit for my car.(Ls1CamaroA4)The oil temp really rises very high in the summer time and i lost a lot of performance + engine life(There is no really oil and oil heating problems if i keep it under 90-100 mph but if i travel more than 120 mph ...let say 5 or 6 minutes i have to slow down)I checked nearly every web site to find out a oil cooler kit for LS1 s but i only came up with a GM Truck oil cooler conversion...
So who is building kits for LS1?What kind of oiling /cooling s systems used in road race style
races or in track days events?Its a must for me.
Thanks in advance.

This isn't cheap or easy but - You could get a remote filter adapter, PermaCool #114. It screws on in place of the filter and the outlet and inlet point up and down. Run some Earl's hose through a cooler, through the remote filter, then back. Canton Racing makes a sandwich adapter so you don't need a remote filter, but the lines come out horizontally and they won't fit. I'm using the PermaCool adapter with Canton filter and Accusump. I've heard there's a Chevy truck sandwich adapter but don't know anything about it.

 

LiquidSnake - If you contact Chris (Parts Mgr) at Tom Oates Chevy, he may still have an SCCA approved oil cooler setup that they ran on their winning T2 Z28 Camaro for two seasons.

Take the link above, then click on the Racing Store, then Tiger Racing, to see the cars.

Its the block adapter, lines and radiator. All GM parts, SCCA approved.

If you call him, tell him Mike, from Maryland, says hello.

Guys also check this : http://www.wheeltowheel.net/products/car/engine.htm

 

that is a billet adapter modeled after the factory piece that you can buy for less than a hundred bux.

I bought mine for 61 bux and by the time I had mine modified to look similar to that, with -AN fittings, it was 110 bux, parts and welding.
