Engine Temps.

I'm mostly just curious but ive been running 12 psi of boost and my engine has been hitting a toasty [100C - 110C] or [212F - 230F] when its [100F or 37.7C] outside. So I purchased and installed a mishimoto dual thickness radiator. Now i notice that i can drive and boost all I want and keep my temps at max [95C or 203F] accept if I have the AC on. It jumped to 110C again.


That made me wonder how much of a cooling loss the AC radiator accounts for on other peoples cars.


Side note, how are you getting cold air to your intake. Now the radiator has helped cool the engine temps but the IAT has gone up. Every solution is a new problem. I was thinking of getting louvers but im not sure yet. Its going to drive normal in the summer and too cold in the winter.
