I recently bought a 1972 914 3.2 conversion with 915 transmission. Its the third 914 and the 11th Porsche that i've owned.The car was professionally built about 18 to 20 years ago and at that time they made a few choices .
They used headers,no HE,and ran the steel braided lines for the front oil cooler from the engine through the right hand heater duct to the frunk. I live in the mountains and it cools off at night and I need to restore some heat to the cabin . So the long and the short of it does anyone have any experience running an HE on one side only ? I don't need to melt my shoes but I do need a noticeable flow . The rest of the fresh air system is still intact. Any experience, suggestions ,or tips would be greatly appreciated ! |

This is easy to say when I will not be writing the check, but Ben's heat exchangers and the hard GT lines is the way to go. Do it once, do it right and never worry about it again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I wish I wasn't writing the cheques either ! Its always been my motto to do it the right way but I'am glad I asked the question just in case someone had a eureka solution I didn't think of.When the car was built almost 20 years ago they didn't spare any expense but had limited options to deal with the oil lines. Fix it once and restore the heat. |
