Vq35de s13 swap question

[nddavis2]

Trying to help a friend swap a vq but have come into a snag. He would like to drive the car in the winter so he needs defrost/ heat. Ac isn't much of a concern at this point. None of the threads I've read have information on this nor mention if the even run the heater hoses to potentially have it. Seems most threads the op didn't finish the installation and haven't logged on for years. Does anyone here have any info on this? He's using stock ecu with mats disabled and the car runs though it has some codes and messed up looped coolant lines that don't run to the firewall for heating.

Just order a electric heater from jegs...

An option yes but he would prefer to use factory Connells and it all work oem

I ran a factory heater. It wasn't a big deal to make some hoses and piping to get it to the stock location.

[nddavis2]

You ran the factory 240sx heater? The house thing is no big deal. Was concerned on the electrical aspect of it

[irax]

Yeah and I used factory HVAC controls.

Seriously though, if he has the factory HVAC controls still working then all he needs is the coolant line hooked up to the factory heater core.

Thanks a ton. I'll run over to his place this weekend and check it out and run the hoses if his is still in working condition.
