Greetings once again from Munich!
It’s cold over here when the sun goes down, not to mention nice days in March, April, October and November. I need heat, and I don’t have it because my engine has headers. I am thinking I will need a high output alternator if I’m using only 12v in order to get the necessary output. Is this somehow a bad idea? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Questions: How would a e.g. 50 amp alternator affect power and gas mileage? Would it have any effect on the electrical system? Can you recommend a heater for this application? Other suggestions on how to best get heat into the cabin without heat exchangers? Here is an article on PTC (positive thermal coefficient) heaters... https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.10...-11628-5_51.pdf Thanks for your feedback and advice!
