Loss of heater with Subaru motor.
Just had a thought whilst working on my Type 3 conversion. What do I do about a heater once the EJ20T motor goes in? I know the EJ22 is popular in the
buses so is there a way to keep a heater? May be a stupid question!
1971 Type 3 Fasty - EJ20T
I love 242HP sleepers. 
How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 
UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list. |

I thought you were joking then saw your location...Move to sunny QLD and get airconditioning instead. Have no idea actually but shoud be easy enough
to hook something up

Subaru setup is not standard. Just make sure that the heater & vents you choose work the same was as the Subaru one - Eg. the water must always be
flowing through the heater core regardless of whether you have the heater 'on'. You open/close the air vents to control the amount of heat entering
the cabin.

easy mate - just plumb in one from Pick N Payless to the front half of your cooling system. Plumb it in 'parallel' to the radiator. Then use some
12V boat bilge blowers to 'power' the demister...

just put a heater unit in your boot and hook up the factoy ducts. In the kombi I used a modified 60 series heater, plumbed into the the factory ducts.
