C6 Corvette Z06 Oil Cooler Install on my 2012 Grand Sport Corvette. This video should help you have a better idea how the oil cooler is installed. Thanks for Watching!
Thanks for the video. Looks like I'm 6 years late to the party. Tried to install those same oil cooler lines in my 2010 MT Base today and was like screw it, these crooked pipes are not both going through that maze to get to the front. I'll come up with something else, probably removing the crooked solid metal ends, snaking the flexible lines through, then reattaching the metal ends. Or something!
I'm in the middle of installing the Improved Racing cooler on my 2011. After struggling for 15 minutes to get the new shroud in place, it occurred to me, "This looks like it was meant to go in from the bottom." :/ Great video, thanks for sharing.
real PITA wasnt it? That shroud is no joke. With the Eforce kit I eliminated the oem cooler and added the newer style oem oil to water cooler from the later models and the oil temps increased by 50 degrees or simply match the water temps. I'd like to add back in an oil to air cooler into the dry sump lines...wonder if that could be done in tandem with the oil to water cooler. Anyway, good video and showing what we go through in order to make improvements in our vehicles.
NY Plantings yes, reallllll PITA! I want to say my buddies 2012 Grand sport had the new water cooled oil cooler and the air cooler on his car from the factory.
Long to heat up?? That's because you should have got a Thermostatic Oil Cooler Adapter...I'm glad I just found out about this or I would have been saying what you said lol
I appreciate your hard work and great video but I went ahead and bought a nice Hayden cooler for $50 with two long lines and tapped it in series with the transmission lines. Much simpler and temp dropped 15 degrees
Phil C. Thanks! Yeah I was tempted to do that but I really wanted that oem oil cooler fitment. With that said... good Lord that radiator shroud was a pain!
I had a body shop pull the front bumper for paint. They said it was pretty easy to do. Is there anything I can check for to make sure they didn’t damage anything once I get the car back ? They had to replace the shroud not the whole cooler. Car is a z06. Thanks.
@@RaztechPowersports thanks. Nope no damage to my knowledge. I was just concerned Since the car has very low mileage and I’m trying my best to took it all original so I wasn’t sure if there was anything I should look for that they may have done wrong when installing the plastic shroud with the cooler in it. So it’s just held at the bottom by clips and pins ?
Yeah I know man; we might have to get together if your ever in BR. Good news man; I need one bad since we have hell summers, but the install is a headache. Might need your help 😂👍🏼
Nice video, but, where are your fender covers?

Nice mod, Do you have oil temperature improvement numbers?
It takes a longer for the oil to heat up. But that cooler works really well.

do you have a link to that oil cooler??
Could u buy a Z06 shroud to save the cutting time?
Probably
Thanks for the video...how has it been? A year later
SOUP 650 thanks for watching and it’s been great. Nice oem for and no leaks 🙏🏻
What was the part numbers?

Yeah that front bumper is pretty easy to remove. It was damaged? I would just look for oil leaks honestly. Not much else you can look at

So the lesson here is to learn to drive a manual.

Haha dude.. its a pain, not going to lie... You need to come down to Nola Motorsports for some of the track days
That car is too perty to track.
