I would like to add heat and defrost to my Subaru conversion, but I'm not sure the best way to do it. Now, I'm no expert on the ventalation system of these cars, but I was hoping to have something simple like 2 discrete motors. One for the vents on the dash, and another for the defrost.
The stock heat blowers are intact on the car, but I don't believe they're hooked up at all, since the PO had a SB350 installed. That motor is going bye-bye, and I'm not sure the best way to add something to replace it. I don't need fire shooting out of the vents like my Land Rover, just enough to get the windscreen clear and take the edge off of a cool night. I see a few aftermarket blowers that I can put in-line with the heat tubes, but how should I GET the heat? Is thee a way to do it from the water in the radiator? |

Is this what you used Bob? I was going to use that one in the Subaru car but it ended up that Im going to use it in my LS1 car. The unit I have in the blue subaru car is a aftermarket evaperator for a Mustang II I got it brand new at a Hot rod swap meet a few years ago. It was a hell of a buy less than $50 bucks IIRC. Trust me this is not a bolt in job.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Bob |
