Thinking of going e-fan

The spec for the temp switch shown in the FSM diagram in my post says "off below 194*F" and "on above 207*F" Since it's a switch, that is either on or off, that's Mazda's way of writing a spec with a tolerance. So in other words, it should switch from off to on somewhere between 194*F and 207*F.

That's probably a good temp to trigger an e-fan, as most OEMs run similar temps. What temp does Mazda set the e-fans on the FD & RX8's to kick on at?

I figure I can wire a toggle switch to that check connector in the circuit diagram to run the fan at will if needed.
