Customizing dashboard heater/defrost controls, From a 993 or 996 or early Boxster? Options

[boxsterfan]

Has anyone ever tried to customize their 914 with a climate control system from a 993, 996 or Boxster? One thing I am dreading when putting my car back together is getting that push/pull cable system back into the car.

Would it even be reasonably possible? Note: No A/C in the car, so maybe buttons there but non-functional.

A 993 climate control looks suitable from a "looks" point of view, but no doubt big $$$.

Ignore the whole carbon fiber bits....just the climate control would be desired.

If it were possible, it would take serious engineering. Most likely they are servo motor controlled. So you would need a controller to run a linear actuator the the 914 flaps.

Sounds way easier to install the 914 cables.

I would still control the flaps (and blower) in back by the HE's by hand (el manual). Actually, I can't remember is the lever for heat in the 914 turns on the blower in the back or not. And reading up on it, they had 993 Climate Control Units that is are non-AC. Seems like you need the fan switch on the 993 CCU to turn on the blower up front. You need the CCU hooked up to an "air box" up front with a servo motor to control feet/defrost or both for direction of the air. I'd live with just defrost personally. It's not like the 914 cabin is a monstrous cabin to heat. And there is always seat heaters... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Nothing wrong with a little serious engineering.
