Improved Racing high-flow flapper check valves are ideal for use in oiling systems (wet sump and dry sump), fuel systems, crankcase pressure ventilation systems, and more. Most check valve designs—including poppet check valves, ball check valves, diaphragm check valves, piston check valves, and others—are restrictive, resulting in a pressure drop across the valve even when fully open. Improved Racing's check valves use a flapper design, originally developed for military jet engine turbines, that swings completely out of the fluid's flow path, adding virtually no flow restriction. These check valves were further optimized for low restriction at high flow rates using flow simulation software—and were designed to exceed most military specification requirements. The valves have been tested at up to 1,000 psi of backflow holding pressure without catastrophic failures or excessive leakage. This allows Improved Racing to very safely rate these valves to hold 300 psi of backflow pressure under normal operating conditions with a very high factor of safety. For comparison, the military surplus flapper check valves tested failed catastrophically with complete pressure loss at less than 200 psi. This flapper-style valve has a very low cracking pressure of less than 0.05 psi. Every internal component (hinge, spring, hinge pin, and gasket core) is made from stainless steel to ensure long-lasting, reliable performance and compatibility with just about any fluid, including corrosive fluids. The check valve's gasket is made from FKM (Viton®) rubber bonded to a stainless steel core, giving it a high operating temperature of up to 302 degrees F. It's also highly chemical-resistant and compatible with all types of fuel. Improved Racing's check valves are available in multiple fitting sizes, and the inlet and outlet halves can be mixed and matched to create a completely custom valve.

Improved Racing dual inline oil sensor manifold blocks are universal to be used in many applications. They feature large diameter passages that allow for high-volume flow and minimal pressure drop. They also permit the installation of two 1/8 in. NPT oil sensors on your oil cooler (or transmission cooler) line. The manifold blocks' flow-through design makes them ideal for monitoring both oil pressure and oil temperature, as well as being used to supply oil to a turbocharger. Two units can be used together--one before the cooler and one after--to monitor an oil cooler's efficiency and pressure drop. Improved Racing dual inline oil sensor manifold blocks are appropriate for auto, marine, laboratory, and industrial uses.
