Looking around for heat exchangers, it looks like Billy Boat is about it here in the US. Mittlemotor lists two different diameters but lists no manufacturer. It looks like GHL doesn't do Porsche stuff anymore?
*edit* added Hayward & Scott BB - $2310 pr MM - E 1469 each (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) That's $1847 at today's exchange rate - each!! You will get a 19.5% discount if shipped to the US, however. H&S GBP 1400 pr - they look most like factory exchangers What else is available now? That brings up another idea. What are the odds of buying Bursch headers and fabbing HE's and ceramic coating the whole lot?

About 50% of the B&B's I've sold/bought had problems. I won't get them anymore, as it costs too much to round trip ship those things.
Heat exchangers of mild steel = future life insurance payout for your beneficiaries Every set of factory 914-6 HE's I've ever seen have that same pitting as the spendy ones on eBay. And every set of 6 HE's that have come off a running car usually needs a little repair. FWIW, the much storied carb'd 3.0 from Bruce Anderson's book, was a 914-6 with factory HE's. The factory HE's flow really well. |

I have the BB`s on my stock 2.0 with heat ...they suck for heat(low air flow) and they where a real bitch to attach! ...i put them on for the bigger I.D with Triad muffler that had to be custom fit by Dave ,,the flange on the BB is not square with the back of the car they are angled in to each other ...this complete system will most likely be for sale soon .. 90 % sure im go n back to stock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
