So I took off the hearter parts of my parts car and cleaned them all up and painted everything did the drivers side and decided to try it out..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) tempeture was about 60 outside last night and after running a few minutes the vent was putting out a weak 72 hardley any air movement. the flapper bos is working and in good condition and the dual fan blows out a fair amount of air, but it doesnt seem to make it up front... on chilly mornings and evenings I want some heat and defrost... this wont cut it in my opinion... what else has been done??? I had a crazy idea of a power inverter, and hair dryers behind the speakers, anyone done anything like this??? I have seen 12 volt hair dryers... what else has been done????? or what am I doing wrong ???? I know I have read many complaints about the heat but I had no idea it was that bad...

I'm not that sophisticated. In the winter, I block off a little of my front cooler and vent it to the stock heater points in the front trunk. That gives me defrost heat and does a surprisingly good job of heating the car. It takes me about 20 minutes to either install it, or take it and it's hoses totally out of the car and block off the heater points.
It's nothing as good as the original system mind you, but my exhaust plumbing is sure a lot simpler. Those work great. Good luck |
