Hi people
Lots of good mods here, on the forum.
Has anybody found, used a heater sytem for the air cooled motor? Oil cooler for example? I am always scarred to plumb oil into the tub...it is a 914. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)
Electric heaters, word is they just don't work.
I don't have stock heat exchangers any more.
Anybody have a decent solution
Thanx 1000 x
Cheers
Joe

I have looked into one of these for the 914, but I don't see a good place to mount it...

passanger footwell, in place of the hard foam footrest. just build a alu-shield to cover it and have the warm air exit towards the center tunnel.

or, do what Dr. Porsche did, mount it in the front trunk and have the hot air routed into the stock air box, just like the normal heated air ...
that way, you can still use the dash controls to redirect the hot air ...
