Default getting a little hot

My problem right now is that I'm getting over 215*..My set up is a Twin turbo 70mm in a lq4 with 4L80E tranny with a brake...I'm runing kool if I dont turn the AC on..but the minute I turn it on starts to get hot..We put a 180* thermo....Also I'm runing to small spals fans one in the outside of the car on inside the engine comparment....Are you guys runing a different fan or water pump...I was thinking in runing the MARK IIIV fan what you guys think of this..Any info will help....



THANX

If you've got the room, you're better off running a mark viii fan than any spal. You have to run it through a 75a relay if using the ecm, or dcc or flex-a-lite 31165 controller. the controllers will modulate voltage to provide soft start (to alleviate the voltage spike issues), and run the fan for 30 seconds after shut-down. here's some good info on the mark 8 fan (size, etc.)

What's this setup in? I wish my LQ4/4L80e Nova would run at 215°, and it has an aluminium radiator, taurus fan (albeit setup for low-speed only), and auxiliary trans cooler.
