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??

When I bought my 914 there was a Ebersprecher in the front of the passanger seat, fulel line and exhaust was drilled thru the floor. The unit was one more modern unit from the 80ies so it was far smaller then the one I have used in my VW bugs.

I only use the car in the summer an when the unit started to fail I toked it out
