Improved Racing's engine block oil galley barbell plugs feature a second O-ring that completely seals off the dirty oil from the clean oil, forcing 100 percent of the flow through the filter. Sharp corners were avoided and machined as smooth fillets to improve oil flow, while the bull nose tip helps smooth oil flow to the oil filter. The shaft diameter is smaller than the OEM plastic barbell to minimize flow restriction, and the threaded hole allows for easy removal with any 4mm x 0.7 threaded screw. Please refer to the Applications tab when ordering to confirm the fitment. Features of Improved Racing's barbell plugs include: * Direct replacement for plastic OEM barbell plug * Precision CNC-machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum * Viton® rubber O-rings offer high-temperature resistance and excellent chemical compatibility with engine oils

Improved Racing set out to design the best air-oil separating catch cans specifically for the factory supercharged vehicles. Focused on three simple design goals: maximized efficiency, durability, and ease of use, the development of the CCS oil catch cans happened over several years and included ANSYS Fluent CFD simulations, extensive bench tests, and on-vehicle street and track tests. Final prototype testing also included a 9-month beta testing program in collaboration with various road racers, drag racers, and drifters. The CCS's design maximizes air-oil separation efficiency, resulting in a peak separation efficiency of 85 to 90 percent. For comparison, none of the competitor's catch cans tested showed a peak efficiency of more than 60 percent. The CCS oil catch cans are durable, made from high-quality, reliable components and, as with any Improved Racing product, nothing will vibrate loose or come apart under racing conditions. Keep contaminants out of your intake to increase octane and keep your engine clean with Improved Racing CCS oil catch can kits. Select the kit specifically designed for your application needs. Product details: * The CCS features tangential entry port for cyclonic separation for maximized efficiency—separates as much vapor from crankcase blow-by fumes as possible with minimal restriction * Other features include stainless steel filter with multiple filter seals, primary seal, bell mouth exit plenum, anti-splash-back funnel with spiral drain groves, and 7.0 fluid oz. or 3.5 fluid oz. reservoir * Quick-turn, easy to service reservoir * Includes mounting bracket and custom made, emissions friendly, quick-connect lines—designed specifically for factory supercharged vehicles * CNC-machined aluminum bracket locks into position every 22.5 degrees—allows for different mounting options specific per the make and model vehicle to offset catch can from engine to clear larger engine covers, evap lines, etc. * Optional drain kit (sold separately) is available to allow for remote draining without removing the catch can—because engine bay fitment is tight on specific vehicles * Fast and flexible mounting bracket system for installation/removal and positioning—tool-free bracket nut can be removed without tools, or snug it down with 5/8 in. wrench * No sight glass needed—just push-up and twist a 1/8th turn to remove the reservoir and look inside, no more fumbling, or endless unscrewing to remove the reservoir * A powerful wave spring keeps the reservoir locked in place—included positive safety lock clip is also included just in case you want to be absolutely sure the reservoir cannot be removed

Improved Racing oil cooler adapters have a low-profile for more header clearance. The adapters are machined from a single piece of billet aluminum and black anodized. For additional clearance with reliable sealing, they come with aluminum gaskets fitted with Viton® seals, and the adapter mounting holes are counter-bored so the mounting bolts fit flush with the adapter surface. Select Improved Racing oil cooler adapters are also available with a built-in thermostat. Oil coolers help prevent the oil from getting too hot, but are also prone to lowering oil temperatures too much, especially in colder weather or during highway driving. The rebuildable thermostat speeds warm-up and helps reduce engine wear and horsepower losses by preventing oil temperatures from dropping below optimal levels. Features and benefits * 100 percent bolt-on solution; no fabrication, bending, or line modification is required * Viton® seals throughout for maximum reliability * Oil exiting the adapter is filtered oil * 6061 T-6 billet aluminum construction with black MIL-A-8625 Type II anodized finish * Standard female -8 AN O-ring boss threads for optional anodized adapter fittings in your choice of -8 AN, -10 AN, or -12AN lines * Depending on application, includes port(s) for oil sensors or turbo oil supply * Includes all necessary hardware * Limited lifetime warranty

Proper oil pan baffling is critical for improving oil control and reducing oil starvation in high performance engines. Improved Racing oil pan baffles provide effective, track-proven protection against oil starvation for road racing, drifting, autocross, drag racing, and even off-roading and rock crawling. The baffles use trap doors to keep oil around the pickup tube and provide vastly improved oil control over the stock baffles. They are sufficient to prevent oil pressure drops at up to 1.4 sustained lateral Gs in most vehicles. Even semi-dry sump systems suffer from oil aeration when the pickup tube in the oil pan sucks up air, aerates the oil, and fills the dry sump tank with foamy oil. Foamy oil is compressible and results in oil pressure drops when pumped into the engine. Improved Racing baffles help keep more oil around the pickup tube in the oil pan, reducing oil aeration and improving oil pressure. Features and benefits include: * Directional trap door baffling completely encloses the oil pump pickup for maximum protection against oil starvation at high Gs * 100 percent bolt-in, no welding necessary; most are direct replacements for stock steel baffles * Baffle plates with drainback slots help to accelerate the return of oil to the bottom of the sump, while also preventing oil slosh and reducing oil consumption * Reduce the risk of oil starvation when oil levels are low * Work with OE cast aluminum oil pans, often a structural member of the engine block, and are less prone to failure or leaking than sheet metal oil pans * Lightweight aluminum construction * Solid body aircraft rivets used to secure trap doors * Limited lifetime warranty

Improved Racing offers oil filter sandwich plates with thermostats in all the popular oil filter thread sizes for easily plumbing an oil cooler to your engine. Their built-in, rebuildable thermostat bypasses the oil cooler until the oil has reached its maximum operating temperature, allowing your engine to warm-up quicker and prevent oil from being over-cooled. They also allow a small percentage of fluid to continually circulate through the cooler, eliminating air pockets and preventing cold fluid from being trapped in the cooler and shocking the system. Improved Racing oil filter sandwich plates with thermostats also feature a filter bung machined from hardened 410 stainless steel for excellent durability. Please verify the fitment for your application when ordering.
