So as the weather gets cold again, I realize that with my increasing age I need to do something about heat in the 914 if i want to drive it comfortably.
I'm running a header and most all the ducting on the car has been pulled out. I've been researching all the threads on here about electric heaters and the Webasto heaters, etc.....I found this! Thinking I can maybe mount inside or in place of the cowl airbox and run a couple hose into the cabin. What y'all think?  |

It can be used but I don't think like you said, it only has one outlet. Front trunk or maybe in the rear or engine bay then tapped into your heater channels (longs).
You would need a small tank for the diesel. You also have to cut a hole in the tub for an exhaust. 16"X 5"X 5-1/2" is a pretty small footprint. A lot smaller than an Espar bunk heater. Price is damn good, looks like it must be china made though. If you do go for it please write up a report on this. |

You might even be able to get creative and stub it into the stock system as a replacement for heat exchangers, but using stock controls. And it would keep all the stink makers in the engine bay where they belong. |
