Corvette Engine Parts

Many people don't understand the strain improving performance products and increasing engine HP can put on their vehicle's smaller components. Coolant systems, engine mounts, oil systems, and other Corvette engine components can break down more quickly under the increased stress. Upgrading your Corvette's engine with C5 Corvette engine component products will help your vehicle handle its increased power and performance better and live a longer life, even with high stress engine modifications. These improvements themselves, while also helping with vehicle life, can improve performance on their own. The unique Corvette 160 degree Thermostat and upgraded Corvette spark plug wires have incredible performance benefits also.

  • C6 Corvette Spark Plug Wires

    C6 Corvette MSD Spark Plug Wires

    $110.60
    MSD Super Conductor Spark Plug Wires for C6 Corvette Including the Z06The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Wire is "the" performance wire.Engineered from the inside out, the 8.5 offers everything you have ever wanted in a wire; incredibly low resistance without electronic interference! In a single 12 inch length of Super Conductor Wire there is only 40 - 50 ohms of resistance! That is the lowest resistance of any helically wound wire. To accomplish this, we use a copper alloy conductor due to it's great voltage carrying capabilities. The low resistance results in less loss in spark energy so more reaches the spark plug. The conductor is wound extremely tight around a special center core. So tight in fact, that there is over 40 feet of conductor wrapped into a single foot of plug wire. This winding procedure, combined with a ferro-magnetic impregnated center core, produces an extremely effective Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) "choke". This choke, or suppression capability, keeps the EMI inside the wire where it cannot interfere with other electronics on your vehicle. The outer sleeve that surrounds the conductor assembly is just as impressive. A proprietary blend of silicone and synthetic material produce a sleeve that is highly resistant to high heat as well as abrasion and tears. The MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Plug Wire is available in Universal Kits and Bulk Lengths. Application: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 C6 Corvette
  • C5 Corvette Elite Engineering PCV Oil Catch Can

    C5 Corvette Elite Engineering PCV Oil Catch Can

    $193.99
    Ultimate Function: The Elite Engineering PCV Oil Catch Can is designed to effectively separate oil from the crankcase vapors, thereby eliminating all negative effects of excessive intake system oil contamination. Our Catch Can has been engineered to remove the oil vapor before it has a chance to contaminate your intake system.Purpose of your Stock PCV System: The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system is designed to regulate and remove fumes from the engine crankcase and to alleviate crankcase pressure which could cause oil leaks or seal damage. The PCV system routes crankcase fumes into the intake manifold where they can be burned to eliminate harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The PCV valve controls the amount of crankcase flow volume depending on the engine's load. With large throttle openings (high engine loads), the more blow-by gases are produced, and the more the PCV system flows oil vapor in to the intake manifold. The PCV valve also functions as a check valve to prevent intake manifold flow from reversing back into the crankcase when there is a backfire, or during periods of high manifold pressure (boost) during forced induction by turbocharger or supercharger.Negative Effects of your Stock PCV System:Throttle body and/or MAFS (Mass Air Flow Sensor) malfunction or failure. Air filter, intercooler (if equipped) and intake ducting contamination if oil pools and run back out the intake system after engine shutdown. Reduced octane of the air/fuel mixture, which can cause detonation and the ECM (Engine Control Module) to retard timing, thereby reducing engine power.Excessive carbon build-up on valves, piston crowns, combustion chambers and spark plugs. This also increases the chance of detonation and power loss.Increased emissions & possible contamination of catalytic converters and oxygen sensors. Many Corvette owners with older engines can testify to the amount of oil residue that can accumulate inside the intake manifold, throttle body, intake track and even the air filter during aggressive driving conditions. Solution: Install the Elite Engineering PCV Oil Catch CanNot all Catch Cans are created equally! Often Imitated, never duplicated. Most Catch Cans on the market are just comprised of an empty container with 2 ports. While that simple design may trap a few oil droplets, our Catch Can is designed to condense the oil vapor and trap the oil inside the container. Our test proven design incorporates a stainless steel mesh and screening mechanism that acts like a maze to collect and condense the oil vapor. Once the oil vapors condense into liquid droplets, it falls to the bottom of the can. In addition, the top assembly is specially designed to keep any liquid from climbing out the exit hole during aggressive driving conditions. Stored oil volume is approximately 8 ounces. You will be amazed by how much oil our Catch Can will catch! Don't settle for an inferior competitor's product. Insist on Elite Engineering's Catch Can!Premium Construction: The Elite Engineering PCV Oil Catch Can is constructed of the finest materials inside and out. High-performance car owners insist on the best products that offer unsurpassed function as well as impressive visual enhancement. Our Catch Can does both! Our exclusive design incorporates optimum function and the finest materials, construction and finish for maximum dependability. The 2.6" diameter by 6.0" long body is machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, and then anodized in a variety of colors for a striking look. The internal condensing screen is stainless steel encased inside an aluminum alloy housing designed for low flow restriction. The housing can be disassembled for screen inspection, cleaning or replacement if needed. The inlet and outlet hose fittings are brass, and threaded into the body and sealed with Teflon tape. Supplied hoses are fuel and oil vapor compatible (SAE 30R7 rated). The bottom catch can reservoir screws onto the top of the unit and is sealed with a built-in O-ring. Inspection and cleaning is easy by simply removing the bottom of the unit without disturbing the mounting system or hoses.In keeping with our high-quality standards, all supplied mounting hardware and screws are stainless steel. The supplied custom machined bracket is aluminum and is attached to the passenger side engine head. Each Catch Can kit includes everything you need to install the system. Basic mechanical skills and common hand tools are the only things required.Kit Includes:Catch Can assembly beautifully anodized in a choice of available colors, complete with 3/8" barbed inlet/outlet hose fittings.Custom machined mounting  Stainless steel mounting hardware. 24 inches of 3/8" ID fuel and oil vapor compatible hose. Black zinc plated hose clamps.Bottom line: Excessive amounts of oil vapor in the intake manifold is detrimental to your engine!

  • C5 Corvette Green Filter

    C5 Corvette Green Filter

    $69.99
    About Green Filters1995 was a great year for music (The Velvet Underground’s epic box set Peel Slowly and See was released), movies (Mel Gibson’s Scottish smash-hit Braveheart took the Oscar for best picture), and motorsports (Green Cotton Air Filters was founded). Green Filters was born from a lofty ideal: to design, develop and supply high-quality cotton air filters to the racing industry. Since its fledgling days, Green Filters has far surpassed its own goals.After creating a winning cotton filter design, Green Filters gained wide recognition by some of Europe’s biggest race teams. Peugeot, Citroen and other motorsports teams trusted Green Filters to deliver the perfect blend of airflow and filtration to their million-dollar speed demons. Green Filters rapidly developed an international reputation for excellence in engineering, and they adapted their technology for the automotive aftermarket. In no time, Green Filters became Europe’s largest cotton air filter manufacturer.These days, Green Filters are widely available throughout the United States, thanks to authorized deals like Southern Car Parts. Why are Green Filters so popular? They have incredibly deep pleats, which increases the filter’s surface area by 10-20% over a stock paper filter. Plus, the medium and fine cotton gauze layers trap and hold dirt, dust and moisture particle as small as 0.50 microns. This blend of flow and filtration allows Green Filters to unleash extra horsepower, torque and fuel economy.   Application: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 C5 Corvette
