Default What is the H22's normal operating temperature?

Does anyone know the standard operating temp of the H22? What is the temperature on the high side?

Mine typically runs ~195deg. When its idling it can get up 210-220 and that's when the fans kick in. All stock.

In your avatar it looks like you are at the track. If so, what kind of track day temperatures are you seeing?

Also, how much oil pressure does the stock oil pump put out? What is the pressure at idle and what is the pressure up top?

I am thinking of buying one of these:

With one of these:

And one of these:

I popped an oil cooler coolant hose at the track last weekend and didnt notice the car was overheating for a good half a lap, until I got to the next good straight away. I usually pay more attention to the gauges, but there was a ton of traffic on course and I was to busy paying attention to the guys in front of and behind me. I would like to buy a big ole warning light that will grab my attention no matter what to prevent this from happening again. I just need to know what temp and what pressure switches to get.

Autox. After running its probably ~205 degrees (don't really recall).

These are all water temps. I do not have the means to measure oil temps.
