Guest ZPhreak Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 I tried searching but came up with nothing. Has anyone used a different heater unit in a 240z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 What problem are you trying to fix? Mine works great, but I hated the fan. I installed a fan from a late 80's Civic and it blows much better. Bolts right in, just have to make 2 short wires to hook up to the stock wiring. VERY EASY. I've also gotten the same blower fan from late 80's Integra, BTW. Are you also having a problem with airflow, or were you trying to fix something else?

Guest ZPhreak Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 The car hasn't ran since I bought it and I'm in the process of cleaning it up. I was just wondering if there was a unit from another car that fit with little modification and worked better. What does the Honda fan do better? Better flow?

JMortensen Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 The Honda blower moves a lot more air than the original. The key to getting a Z heater to work is to make sure the hoses going through the firewall are in good shape, make sure the heater control valve is working (you can usually take it out and clean it if not), and make sure the cables are adjusted. Adjusting the cables is a PITA, but once it's done its done, and you shouldn't have to mess with it for a long time. I've never seen a Z with a bad heater core ever. Not to say it doesn't happen, but they don't seem to be prone to leaking. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
