I'm curious if anyone here has ever put some sort of electric heater into their 914. 914-6 heat exchangers, or equivalent, are $1500+. A header can be had for $400 and increases performance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I can live without heat per se, but I will really need a defog option in my car for rainy days. Anyone rigged something up? Care to share?

No electric heater will work effectively, the alternator cannot supply enough power!
SSI heater boxes along with a functional stock heating system both works effectively and is cost effective with all alternatives I know about. |

Funny this topic should come up, just asked the owner of the 914 I just bought whether or not the car had heat or not! Since I will pick it up probably in November and be driving through the Austrian Alps on my way home, heat would be nice! Anyone know how big of a job it would be to swap out the headers for the SSI set up? I may have to do that before I hit the road after I pick up the car if I find out that there is no heat for the ride. |
