I want to fit a header on my 914, and am looking into heating options. I could fit a tangerine heat exchanger or alternatively fit an eberspacher heater in the front. I would remove all the the piping in the cabin, install the heater in the front. The unit has an internal fan, so the original blower could be removed and the gas heater be installed in it's place, with the output pipes going to the air controllers on either side. The dash controls would then direct the hot air either up or down, and I'm sure the fan controller on the dash wiring could be modified to turn the heater on and off.
I'm not concerned about having cold air blown through the vents - if I want fresh air I open the window! So does anyone know what the airflow is like out of the eberspacher? Would I need a seperate fan to increase airflow sufficiently? Has anyone installed one in a 914 before?? |

go search on thesamba or maybe on ebay for a user called "heaterman"
He is THE guy for these units...he rebuilds them and sells all the parts. He will be able to advise you on the cost. A friend of mine has one in his vw thing...he loves it. It has a remote start so he can get the car all heated up before he even gets in the cab...now that is cool. SirAndy has a great picture of the installed unit that was available as an option back in the day for the 914... Rich |

QUOTE(aircooledtechguy @ Sep 16 2009, 06:16 PM)  A BN2 from a Beetle or type3 would be a nice addition in a 914. The flow is sufficient to heat a type-3 Squareback in winter no problem. The only issue I see is what to do about fogging the front windows. . . Without the heat blowing on the windshield, they will fog badly. Having it plumbed into the two air boxes on the bulkhead would enable you to either have the air up onto the screen or down to the footwell, so no probs with screen demsting...

Rich I have tried but the website is down, I'll have a more comprehensive search later. - I'm off to a 914 meet in 10 minutes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE(r_towle @ Sep 16 2009, 06:17 PM) SirAndy has a great picture of the installed unit that was available as an option back in the day for the 914... Rich I never realised they were a factory option on a 914....... Sirandy, please post that pic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |
