Love to. We'll see what can be done to push more out. Right now I think I'm looking more at cooling the engine so a new radiator might be next.

Re: Defy's '09 GXP

better get the tune adjusted for it or it wont be beneficial, as the way the factory tune is set up it wont make as much power if its a cooler than factory temp......you cant get a cooler tstat, no one makes one but you can dril a couple 1/8" holes in it and it helps some.....stock the cars runs around 220-230F regularly which would seem way too hot, and part of that can be helped in the summer by running your cooling system with 100% water and a bottle of water wetter with no coolant mixed in, it will run much cooler then, also if your going to do all that look into a transmision cooler, the 6spd autos we have especially really need one....... if you need any ideas just check out the progression threds for my Black GXP and my Red GXP..........

also no one makes any radiators for us so youd either have to have one custom made or find a "universal" one and make it fit.....im going to be getting a used nascar radiator/oil cooler/ electric fan combo for my Red GXP which comes with all AN fittings, they can be found for about $300 for that setup and the oil cooler in your case could be used instead as a trans cooler........

Re: Defy's '09 GXP

well you let me know where I can get one for $300 and I'll be all over it lol.

Re: Defy's '09 GXP

what kind are you looking for? one with threaded fittings for AN hose for the coolant (hoses are gonna be expensive for that....or one that just takes regular hose and hose clamps? i still gotta measure to make sure these things will fit in the factory location just obviously with a custom mount....... but heres a couple that are up on ebay the first is what im looking to use assuming theres room for it...., also im not sure what the factory hose sizes are without looking if you want the kind without threaded fittings

Thats what I'm hoping to keep the look as.

@SexyG6
The threaded type would make for a much better seal but I'll have to find out then when I get down that road if it comes out that the threaded is needed I'll have no problem doing it. Just have to see. I seen earlier posts you had about the C&R but I'll have to keep checking round, the third mainly catchs my attention only cause Late models and sprints are more what I'm use to in my neck of the woods.
