Another vote for heat. One of the nicest thing about a 914 is driving around on a sunny yet crisp winter's day with the top off and the heat blasting.

How do the stock heat exchangers (72-74 2.0) flow compaired to the stainless ones. The SSI ones seem to be very hard to come by. The only place I can find them new is AA, for $$$$.

*edit* and I don't want them new, but can't find them used. */edit*

SSI's have a larger dia. tube, so flow is better with them. also, heat is better/faster ...

i even ran a set of 1.8L SSI's on my warmed over 2056 without trouble ...

they show up on ebay from time to time ...

I got some 1.8L SSI's off ebay for $200 shipped

I think there are some on their now for about that, probably a little more. IIRC the ID of both 1.8 and 2.0 SSI HE's is the same, so they both flow the same amount, just with the 1.8 you need to run a different muffler (which means no triad b/c they do not make a 1.8 model)

So, the 1.8 SSI exchangers will fit and work on a 2.0 engine? Am I reading that correctly? The bolt up correctly to the exhaust ports on the 2.0 engine? The are the right length for the muffler?

What would be the point of differentiation then? Are the flanges different for the 1.7/1.8 mufflers then the 2.0?

There is a bend at the end to locate the muffler flange higher to fit a stock 1.8L muffler. They work fine.

Well, it looks like I found a set of stainless exchangers over at the bird board.

Wohoo!

Bit by bit this car is comming together. Man, for a car with a relativly small ownership base, I am constantly surprised with the quality of the owners!

if you are changing over to the 73-74 style HE's you also need new Jtubes, S warmair guides and those tubes that go to the flapper valves to make it work. It can be off any 70-74 early style HE set up it took make it all work. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/popcorn[1].gif)
