C5 Corvette Engineered Cooling Products Radiator Review for Track Use

[@gritpump]

I got nervous at first, I just ordered a ecp radiator then i found this video lol. Im glad it works!

[@477racing]

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.

[@speed3133]

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.

[@bry2k]

Sounds like the radiator did the trick, but I don't like that they positioned that lower radiator port out of spec and turned it into a bit of a custom hack job to get it installed.

[@jameslinkous6437]

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.

[@477racing]

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.

How did you get a guage for your transmission temp

[@477racing]

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

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?

[@477racing]

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.

[@bat5917]

Do you have the part number for those Dorman bushings?

[@477racing]

@@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

How has the oil cooler worked out for you?

[@477racing]

Its great! Track temps are approximately 250, even on a hot day. Can basically run all day without issues.

[@k.i.aplays]

Do you have any other ways to contact you. I have a few questions about getting into track racing.

[@477racing]

Reach out to me on my social media @nickaknows on Instagram

[@danielbudimir8519]

Is your car a zo6

[@477racing]

It is, base models might not have the sensor. I’m not too sure about that.
