sr20det no heat or rear defrost

[darkdrifft]

Ok i just bought a s14 kouki with a black top swap done, but the heater doesnt blow hot and the front and rear defrost doesnt work. The air aswell only blows on the floor even if you switch to the vents or defrost. It does blow air but it wont get warm and again only on the floor. Any ideas? I dont even realy no where to begin. Thanks for the help.

don't know about the air flow direction but I do know that when the other person did the swap they bypassed the heater core and just recycled it back into the engine. there are 2 spots on the back of the block that flow the hot coolant into your heater core(on the inside of the car behind the firewall) there are 2 tubes that stick out from the firewall on an s13) which in turn gives you heat. I think I read somewhere that someone made conversion tubes to run the heat but now that the engine is in the car it is very difficult to hook these up the proper way. You would drop the engine down and maybe it would be easier than ripping out the entire engine, I have been contemplating doing this because the place that did my swap did the same LAME thing. as for the rear defrost check fuses and if not than it's probably a wiring issue.
