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? |

I like the price compared to the Eberspächer. I am also thinking diesel will burn slower than gas; could be wrong. Less flammable?
It comes in a 2K and a 5K unit for almost the same price. A 5K blowing into a tee into the front openings could work. It would be great if I fit in the cowl....I don't have a washer bottle. If it blows through the longs will it cool down? If hot enough this could work too. |

I know espar makes a diesel version for transport truck bunks, a D2 will fry you out of the bunk no problem. This looks like a copy of the D2. Search "truck bunk heaters" or "espar D2". |
