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 $$$. http://rennlist.com/forums/attachments/993...-canon-2220.jpg Ignore the whole carbon fiber bits....just the climate control would be desired. |

Well, I found a 986 Boxster air distribution unit (ie blower) today for <$100 used of course. The hardest part is finding the measurements on the thing (without actually buying it. ;-)
Next up is to find workshop manuals on the CCU to see what pins I actually need on the unit. For example, my reading says it gets speed from the CAN bus to determine whether the recirc/fresh intake flap closes at >55mph. In my case, I don't care. I don't need that input. It also sends electrical load info to the DME via the CAN bus so that the DME can compensate for that. Again, another thing I don't need. My next step is going to be talking the wife into letting me buy this stuff just so I can play with it. LOL |
