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(Bruce Allert @ Nov 1 2003, 09:30 PM) Since there is quite a bit of heat within the engine compartment why couldn't it be routed into the cab...? the blower & tubing is already there. Or have I missed something that could be harmful? I've never noticed any fumes smell when I open the lid after a drive. Could this work? bruce Never a good idea. You want to pull the cleanest air you can. Also, the air in the compartment really isn't hot enough... it would cool down too much to be useful by the time it was blown into the cabin. |
