IIRC, the thermo opens fully @ 195 F. 220 seems pretty hot to me. I want to say my car, with Integra radiator, never sees 200 even when racing nose to tail. This is with a HC4 build on the motor running a oil cooler.
With the old Fluidyne Civic radiator (1/2 width), even with a block off plate on the a/c side, it ran close to 220.

my fans turn on at 210ish i believe, might be around 220. i see 220 when i'm driving hard and stop, but it doesnt stay up there for long. driving hard it's around 200ish, maybe a little less. if they're supposed to come on 195, i have a problem then, lol. need to check the service manual i guess
edit - just checked my haynes, it does say the thermostat opens at 195, so 220 may be too hot
