In my civic, after the 195 degree thermostat install, the temp gauge is half way. I wouldn't run much more than half way. You really don't want to overheat your engine. The oil gets much thinner when you're running that hot and your pistons can expand till they fuse to your cylinder walls. I personally would install the factory automatic fan switch/sensor and call it a day. I can sell you one from a 92-95 d15b8 if you want (shipping mainly)...PM me. I would also install an aftermarket temperature gauge. I think they are like $15 from most auto parts stores.
