What is the standard solution for heat and defrost in a water cooler conversion car?

I built mine here.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=105071&hl=

Still works good. It worked better with the rotary engine (runs hot). I'm thinking of adding a BMW heater pump inline to increase hot water flow.

Its getting time to wire the harness in. Yes I did forget the ring gear and had to remove the clutch and install the gear. I working on the fuel system as well. Got some brake lines as well. Installed the transmission and the starter. The engine is almost ready to go. I will likely go with Patrick Motor sports cable shifter but not sure.

This is the only picture I have of my 65 convertible Corvair I had 34 years ago. It had a Crown V8 kit. You can see under the front bumper, aluminum air ducting to the radiator. It was a beautiful car but not the least bit sorted.

Above you can see I found some metal tube with a 9/16' hex on the I/D. Really just cut down some harbor freight sockets. I need 8 peace's to weld into position. it holds the brake hardware where I want it.

Here is a good picture of the rear set-up. Still need to get the rear springs.

I don't personally care which transmission you decide on. Here is some info on the G-466. This is the same tranny that is used in the AWD platform too. It must be able to handle some torque...





I should have saved the article's link that I stumbled across and now don't recall where I found it, but the person's avatar said, Advanceautomotion in TX,
http://advancedautomotion.com/shop/
and so I presume this person was working on them, anyway, they mentioned about that they all seemed to have pinion bearing problems?? So I became reluctant if I want this trans, AUDI A6 2.5 TDI (QUATTRO) - 6 SPEED GEARBOX or a Boxster S, 6 speed?

Anyone have any info. about that, or did the person know what they were talking about.

Also, off the TDI club was said that the DQS, ELQ, and FRF were all the same??

I found the link that talks about the pinion bearings in the o1E. Sounds like this individual works on them?

Is the 968, the same as the Porsche Boxster S trans?

Post #6 doesn't sound too good either?

I don't want a trans that has inherited a butt load of problems........if that is the case?

Been installing the wiring harness, I really wanted to have the fuse box close to the driver and not under the dash. The Ls1 PCM is also close to the driver seat. Both will be mounted in the center between the seats. The idea is to build a steel frame center console to house hoses, brake lines etc. Still have a ton of work to do !

John...good progress here with your build ! I didn't know of your black car's destruction BUMMER.
First thing we did on our Cayenne 914 v8 build is take every oe wire out. Re-wiring will be track car use only, so not as many circuits going back in. We will park our 914s parallel at Cars+Coffee one weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I had to remake the upper shock mounts. Some sizing and welding still needed but they will do. I'm adding an extra support directly over the loaded area just to be safe. Braking one of these at 100 mph would jack your day up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I've been working on the inside of my house for the last 5 months, haven't done anything with the project. I will be getting back at it in December ( really miss the car stuff). I told myself finishing the house is in no way more important than the 914 but can't tell the wife that LOL. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I've been working on my house for the last 8 months had to put the car on hold, well I'm still working on the house but the 914 is in the mix again.
Below is a picture of my rear re-don shock mounts. The older version just didn't make me feel very safe. There's a lot riding on the mount holding up so I used some trailer hitch material should hold up well. I'm likely going to connect the end of the mount to something to keep it from bending up even a little.

I've been away from my car far to long !!!! Gentlemen start your engines !

working on my transmission mount. The aluminum mount was well made but I felt it wasn't quite strong enough and got in the way of the cable shifter I'm going to use. My welding is strong but (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif) ugly. No worries hours of tedious grinding will make it look a bit less ugly LOL.
I think this mount will hold up well and give the chassis a hand as well.

Tell me about it !!!
Building this car is much more involved then my black V8 car. I'm truly JONES"EN to drive it. Can't do that until the work is done and I need to get my ass in gear. Sometimes I look at the list of "needs" in my head because I would never plain anything out or ever think of putting anything to paper LOL. I just grab another BEER (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
Back to working on the car
