Well, here is is, November, and I just got my car and new engine back from the shop. Now for my problem. Even though it is Chicago, the snow does not usually start flying for another month or so, and I would like to have my 914 out and about. The Triad headers obviously do not allow for any heat. I was wondering if anyone has tried/heard of/seen an electrical passanger heat system that can help. I am not looking for desert type heat or anything, just something to take the edge off.

QUOTE(ss6 @ Nov 2 2003, 07:04 AM) What intrigues me is the engine oil cooler is effectively a heater core. Just doesn't seem to be a way to duct the output without serious ground clearance issues unless you relocate it somehow. The clam shell does need to be tight and as long as possable, sorry to hear that your systems build quality is poor. The only way to do a good clamshell job is to remove the engine/trans and use it as a jig. The oil cooler method does have merit. Use a Mocal thermostat and plumb it into the cab. In the summer you could re-route it to the front. It would only come on once the engine was at 180 degrees but it would help. To not use the thermostat you could risk blowing the cooler in the cab. If it's a /4 you might get it in front of the engine, then you could use the stock blower. |
