From what I understand of the 914 heating system, the fan housing outlets have to be blocked off if I'm not running heat. Can anyone give suggestions on how to block these off? I could weld them up, but Im not sure about the material, and I'd like to be able to seperate the fan housing without grinding and rewelding.

Blocking these off is the fastst way to create huge imbalances in engine temps!
The shroud was designed for them to always have air passing through them, even when the heat is off (to cool the heater boxes) I have tested this one on the dyno and plan to data log it as soon as I get the chance to show the differences. Leave them open! The late model vanagon blower housing is an excellent addition to a race 914 or a car that runs a non stock alternator, as Al goes over in his post. |
