ditching the heater fan
 

I would like to get rid of my forced air heater blower in the engine compartment. More room and looks cleaner with the pre 77 look. Mine doesn't work anyway because it's never been hooked-up (74 tub, so I don't think the lever at the e-brake even has a connection like the later cars).

Can someone post a pic or explain what I need to replace? I.e. fan shroud stuff and possibly engine tins?

Thanks much! SmileWavy

I think the full procedure with parts list was posted on Rennlist sometime ago. I'm pretty sure someone pasted it here as well- just tried a very quick search & no luck but its out there somewhere.

Ohh, that would be awsome. I just hate getting into something and find out I'm missing a simple little part. I'd rather just do it in one shot. Yea, I searched, but just here. I didn't check Rennlist. Never hung out over there.

my 75 has the blower! it is on the endangered list. i posted this que before, but i cant seem to find it.

I love to post these pics. thanks for the excuse.

jeezus, jim!

looks like all that is required are new shroud tins? the stuff on the side? and some shortened heater hose? damn, the sparkplugs look easy access.

The parts you'll need:
Right side hot air duct 930.106.321.02
Left side hot air duct 911.106.327.00
Cover plate (left side) 911.106.036.00
Engine cover (left side) 911.106.827.00
Air Duct Support 911.106.331.00
The left side duct is actually made of three pieces that fit togther.
There are a few misc. screws but that is pretty much it.

RE: that after picture....sooo that's what the CIS looks like! Nice job...i'm jealous.

Sorry, I screwed up my right and left sides. The part numbers are all correct though. 930.106.321.02 is the large duct behind the dizzy. The right side consists of three pieces.

Okay, a little more to add. You will need the heater hoses of course. You will also need a screw for the Air Duct Support, Part No.900.187.015.02. The support and screw mount the right side duct up inside the fan shroud (makes sense once you have 'em in your hands). I bought a slightly longer screw at the hardware store, it seemes to work better. lastly, Two 6mmx1.0 screws for the right side air duct to hold them all together.
Guys, if i forgot anything else, chime in.

Now...where to buy this stuff?

Pelican may stock this stuff or perhaps they can get it. I've heard of the parts appearing on ebay in the past and they are still available from Porsche.
Well worth the effort!

All the tin work can be found used. Many times on the pelican classifieds or just by placing a WTB ad there. Unclezak I believe may be advertising some of those parts as we speak.

I just bought both air ducts (used) from Gary at Parts Obsolete for $50. He probably has more.

I listed everything you need right here for the SC in Jan 2003!!

Thanks guys! Especially Kurt!

BTW, pelican carries the stuff. I just checked out 930.106.321.02. $153. Eegads! Used parts are definatley in my future.
