evinX Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Been looking at this and think it may be a great idea for the Supra, no waiting for the engine to heat up, bigger sinks can be used, easy to bypass the engine hoses, cheaper to do. Looks great! what do we think? someone make one http://b2600ev.org/making-the-electric-heater-core.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I'd be concerned that it wouldn't output enough heat. He chose a 1500W heater.
