Re: [T3] BA4

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Hello-

The BA4 is roughly twice as powerful as the BN2 (the trunk model).  The
number in the title is the size of the heater in 1000BTU/hr's, i.e. 2000 and
4000.

I don't know if originality is a qualification for your car, but if not,
then there's another idea to consider for the BA4 - mounting it under the
rear seat.  I installed mine there.  I put a large bilge blower on each
inlet and let it draw air from what used to be the rear seat heater ducts.
Then, I put the outlets directly into the heater channels (I removed those
black plastic boxes under there).  The advantage of this is that it doesn't
require any exhaust-based heat, so performance exhaust systems are groovy,
and that it recycles the interior air, much like a "max a/c" setting, so it
can get even hotter.

Take care,
Shad Laws
