Dang... I need Heat! 914 help!
 

My 914 has none of the parts that are required for heat. All were removed years ago and i have come to the conclusion that it is necessary for enjoying the car for more than 4 months out of the year.

Car has rotten heater boxes so will need the whole batch.

Does anyone have an exhaustive list of what is required or know of a place where all can be sourced? Would prefer not to buy new heater boxes...

Car is a 1.7L

This is what Auto Atlanta Sells...

Definitely dont need another exhaust system but that gives me a good idea of what is required.

Something like this could be a temporary alternative:

Prolly need a heavy guage wire connection to the battery. But does work. I bought something similar for my race car to help defrost the window during Feb/Mar events. :D

Thanks Tony... i feel that getting the heat to work would add to the resale value of the car... so gonna concentrate on the factory alternative :)

Good reference

Burrito Supreme and a Nachos Grande from Taco Bell. You'll warm up the cabin in no time.

How much gas is in it Casey? ;-)

the down side is you eventually give in and open a window.

$1800 for heater system? Buy a rusty project 914 for that strip it and sell off or toss the rest out.

I think i should be able to get all used parts for ~600.

Hmmmmm, I may know someone that's going to get rid of a full 2.0 setup. If I'm not mistaken, it all bolts right up (but check with an expert to be sure). I have the fans, tubes, a bursch muffler, and SSI heater boxes.

It's all still on the car, and I was thinking of trying to sell the whole package...but may change my plans to help a local. Wouldn't want a whole 2.0 with webers setup would ya ;)
