I am getting ready to fire up my Subie powered 914, and am looking for some suggestions of how people have run the water lines for their heater. I am running a Renegade cooling system, with a cowl mounted heater core. I am assuming I will run a 5/8 tees in the upper and lower hoses, thought I would see if anyone had any pictures before I started.
Thanks, Ed |

Ed,
Can you show us a picture of your cowl mounted heater core? |

Ed, Can you show us a picture of your cowl mounted heater core? Here are some pics: The AC Evap/heater core mounts in the cowl, the blower motor mounts behind the dash (I am going to have to modify the glove box). The vents will be defroster, factory vents in the lower dash panel, and a couple of vents in the center console. I haven't run freon or hot water through the core yet, but the blower puts out plenty of air in the initial tests. It is the ugly black color because I coated the evap box with lizzard skin thermal coat. |

I have something similar but its not separate like that, the blower and heater core are in one system. Did you custom make that? |
