Not my best time on the west circuit, but still wanted to share. I believe my best time is 1:29:022 from August 12, 2023 on R888R square 315's. I have a lot of things I can improve upon on this track, namely learning how to properly heel-toe.

She ride good?
Did you let ECP know about the miss-located lower hose outlet? Would be interesting to know if that was a one off -- which seems unlikely -- or if they have an engineering issue.
I mean I sent them the videos. I was able to get it hooked up and haven't had any issues that I know about thus far.
I got nervous at first, I just ordered a ecp radiator then i found this video lol. Im glad it works!
This radiator is fully capable. Just had a 103 degree track day with zero coolant temp concerns! Check out my latest video titled about the improved racing oil cooler.
Great videos! I’m looking into this radiator so this is very helpful! We did a 6.2 swap that was built to a stroker 416 big heads and cam running to warm.
What oil temperature difference did you see?
For reference: Just was at sonoma and it was over 100* that day. My oil max temp read was 253 degrees.
@@477racing nice. Yeah I’m just trying to get a reference for a daily driver. Average I’ll run about 210 deg, wonder what the difference would be.
@@user-oi4in1cx1f If your oil temps are 210 you have absolutely nothing to be worried about. I would only worry if you were running 275+
@@477racing yeah I wasn’t worried about it, was wondering what difference did you see in temperature reduction on average adding the cooler.
@@user-oi4in1cx1f On the highway it's about 200-205 on an average day. Might have been about 220 on a hot day before with no cooler.
I like your gages can you sow a video of theat
🔥
Is your car a zo6
It is, base models might not have the sensor. I’m not too sure about that.
How did you get a guage for your transmission temp
I don’t technically have a gauge, but the C5 does monitor transmission temperatures. The place where you fill the trans with oil is a temperature sensor, which is being monitored by the PCM. The car is designed to alert you if the temperature goes over 265°, after it alerts you of that the temperature remains visible. I have heard of some people who will lower the alert temperature to something around 200° just so that they can monitor it.
Thanks bro
LOL, you passed my old track Mustang at the 1:50 point of the video....that was such a fun track car. Sold it to trade up to a 2003 C5Z06. When doing the East track, what are you highest coolant temps you've seen with the new radiator? I saw your west track coolant results but I honestly think maybe the east track can generate more heat due to the higher speeds/loads and being at WOT longer.
I didn't do any data logging because Harry's Lap Timer produces better quality video and audio, but I don't think it ever went above 220. Oil temps barely hitting 240 on the day.
What lap timer system did you use? Doesn’t look like the catalyst
Harry's Lap Timer I paid for one of the purchase versions. I wanna say around $15
Gay
Yes you are baby
who is bro
Freedom isn't free. Thank u veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The torque spec on the lower is 162 ft/lbs per the manual, just fyi.
I just looked into this further: there's a TSB stating not to torque to 162 because bolts were breaking. Use 107 for used bolts.
Any updates you might be able to provide us on the performance?

Did you buy this as a kit?
Yup, just google improved racing to find their website
Doing this upgrade this week on my 97 C5. It rattles terribly and is u stable at speed over bumps so I’m hoping the 27 year old shocks are the issue and this fixes it. Almost went with coil overs, but the Bilsteins were half the price so worth a shot! Thanks for the vid brother helped a lot!
I'll be honest, I don't think coilovers are all they're cracked up to be. Adjustable shocks? Probably worth it... but I'm happy keeping it simple, eliminating a variable, and just running it.
@@477racing agree 100%! If you aren’t racing and doing track days I don’t see a point in spending that much on adjustable suspension.
Your contribution on TH-cam would be far more interesting if you could speak fluently with a little more interest thrown in. The shaky camera work. . . well, why do you even bother ?
Man... I'm sorry this free content I made 11 years ago doesn't meet your expectations... a video meant for entertainment purposes only. So sorry about that... 😂
can you explain how you fixed the overheating issue a little more (post radiator install)? thanks
What has worked for me every time I've refilled the coolant (did it a couple more times for cam install and once more to try to fix an oil leak at my front timing cover after that cam install...) was cracking the front steam port bolts one at a time and lifting them up to ensure coolant flowed out. And also following all normal vette coolant fill procedures. If a vid would be helpful I could make one explaining what I do
awesome
Love it
that was scary
What was the end result? Was the thermostat bad? Thank you for the video!
I tested all the thermostats in boiling water and they were all good. It was just likely a bubble in the cooling system I had to get worked out.
@guyhub Thank you so much brother! I appreciate it
What temp thermostat did you use?
I'd go with 187. I had a 160 before with the stock radiator and it was running too cold. With this radiator for normal highway use, your coolant is going to be pegged at the thermostat level without even using the fans. If you're forced induction I would maybe consider the 180.
Great video . Did you use the SS brake lines for the C4 . Are the C5 Z06 calipers the same as the base C5.
I did use stainless braided lines. As for the calipers... They are exactly the same, just not red.
Great video! I was thinking about swapping that radiator in my ‘04 coupe while doing a cam/heads, and your info sealed the deal! I’m in FL and seems like always have one eye on the engine temp because the stock radiator is barely adequate. We’re gonna fix that 👍 Are you on Corvette forum?
Yeah but not very active. More of a lurker. I think I'm 04vette or something like that. Glad the video helped - this radiator has been kicking ass on the street. Waaay more cooling capacity. I just finished a cam job and temps are still way down for me.
Do you have the part number for those Dorman bushings?
@@bat5917 I would source the proper GM bushing instead. I ended up trashing the ones from Dorman. They worked in the mean time, but the fits way better with the GM one.
@@477racingwhere in Florida? I’m in Lakeland with a c5 that we did a 416 stroker in…looking to do some shows and course with it
Do you have any other ways to contact you. I have a few questions about getting into track racing.
Reach out to me on my social media @nickaknows on Instagram
How has the oil cooler worked out for you?
Its great! Track temps are approximately 250, even on a hot day. Can basically run all day without issues.
😓 *promo sm*
man this has me wanting to get my 95 to a track....🤤
love hearing those higher rpms. most people dont rev their c4 that high.... i do😁and it sounds amazing!!!! love it
shame you got stuck behind those slower cars. i know that c4 could have been faster. nothing like a vette in its natural environment
Acting like you could have done any better
@@nachothemacho0389 the driver is literally stuck coasting 90% of the time the fuck you mad at the guy who commented for? you one of those piss slow drivers who goes to the track to block people n enjoy the view?
Does this radiator fits 2001 c5 coupe
Yes just make sure you get correct version for manual or auto
You need to go wide off the cork screw,that’s a fast sweeper. I know it’ll feel like you’ll slide out but trust me you won’t. And looks like you don’t trust your brakes
Thank you for the advise, I never could dial in that turn. And ya, I believe I was on stock brakes with Hawk 5.0 pads. I was getting fade by the end of the day and I cooked my caliper piston boots. 😅 I also should have been using a better brake fluid, because I think my pedal was super spongey on the drive home. Have a C5 now and I would love to get back out to Laguna!
@@477racing hope you got the Z06. And yea pads and fluid is the key. Get good brakes and bed them in at home or on 1st lap,very important
I can relate to the install issues. In the process of removing the rad for a cam swap. Searched you tube for some rad install vids, came across yours. At this time I am stuck at the bottom right corner of the rad, Its hung up and won't release. I think it is the AC condenser not releasing from the rad. Try again tomorrow. I need a beer !
Yea I would take a look at the AC hard line on the bottom binding up with the radiator. Focus on moving that out of the way of the radiator and it'll come out pretty easy. Def smart to take a step back and don't force it. It's just a matter of finding what's binding and trying to move that part. The condenser is only held in place by its lines on the passenger side. You got it!
Did those rims require spacers?
In the rear yes, they have an et of around 70 something. The front didn't need spacers but they could have used them to make them stick out a bit more and not look so "sucked in" to the wheel well.
Great vid. I have a mint 64 and a 96 LT1 Love the 96 plus it has the semi rare Z51 handling package ( 8% of 96 have it )
Great video ! Thanks for all the info 👍🏻
One thing nobody talks about is, why do this mod when you can do 5th gen Camaro brembos. All you need is 3 simple mods you can do in about an hour
I've never heard of it, how is the cost comparison? This swap was well under $1000

Ive run this radiator for two 2yrs w/o any issues. My z06 ran temps around 220-230 in texas heat. Now it stays around 200-205
how hot does it get sitting in traffic with A/C on? Cause rn sitting in traffic with the stock radiator is between 220-230 and that scares me XD
@@theoutbreak1651 yea that scared me too, it may creep up to 208 but for the most part it avgs 205
@@jaystrongsgarage3913 that's awesome ill definitely be ordering that radiator really soon
I had a corvette mechanic tell me that is normal as the high speed fan does not come on until that temp. . Anyway, I took my vette to a tuner and had the computer reset for the fans to come on at 180 degrees. I live in Florida. Engine temp never breaks 200. @@theoutbreak1651
What was he showing us? I totally forgot what I googled
Where did you get your rear lights
I think they were a cheap set off Amazon, but it's been about 5 years so I could be wrong
Nick….you’re officially invited to ALL our get togethers!! This is BAD ASS!!! Thank you!!! ❤
How was the ride quality? I’ve been thinking about buying a set of these for a while.
In my opinion, I found them to feel softer on the street compared to 2004 stock Z06 shocks. As for the track, I feel that the car handles excellently. I was hitting 1.25 G's in some of my turns. Unfortunately, in stock seats I was holding on for dear life. I could probably get more out of the car with some actual supportive seats.
A Corbeau bucket and a harness and you’ll be loving life! Of course you’ll need a seat bracket and a harness bar and belts. A word on belts, get the ones that transition from 2-3In wide on the shoulder strap so they will fit in the channel of your HANS restraint. HANS is required if you run a harness, if you don’t wanna kill yourself. Back to the belts, also get the style that tighten by pulling up rather than down, there isn’t the room along the sides of the seat to tighten by pulling down.
Had no idea thunder hill could be 5 miles 🤯
Nice!!
I want to sniff that seat
