Are the engine thermostat and shroud flapper assembly considered integral to providing heat to the cabin/ defrost systems, or are they only for directing air over the oil cooler??

No those are only for the warm-up of the engine.

QUOTE(partwerks @ Nov 29 2013, 09:26 PM) How well does it warm up the cab? I'm betting you have a warmer car. Who cares in a 914? I found en electric solution for defrost that worked but it was fortified by rainx. |

considering its dry warm heat from the second you turn it on , it works very well, need to be ducted to defrost..

Very interested. I am not wishing to go with a gas BN4 if I dont have to in the bus, but it is too cold to drive without defrost and some heat. How well do you think one of the SA12-2000 12 Volt Brushless Cab Heaters would put out for the front cabin of the bus? Is it appreciable? Ducting for my app would be pretty easy as all the vents are right there, like a wall in front of the driver.
