I had the efan on my track car set to 205 for regular driving. It would kick on and sometimes still creep up a few degrees before coming down, but I don't think it ever went much higher than 208 or so before it would come down. I didn't start getting worried about coolant temps on the track until they went up to 215, so I was ok with 208 max on the street. As I recall reading (Ted maybe?), anything under 220 is fine for a rotary, especially if it's only for a short period of time.

I would also assume that Mazda put their "on" point at a very safe temperature. I can't see a reason why Mazda would get anywhere near risky with the on point.
