Gutting car, defogging Q
#23
Were you really that surprised? The one in the BMW i'm working on at the shop has a tag on it still with that number plus a 1 in front of it. Its a pretty rare part and its BMW. I bet it works better than that walmart POS though. I dont know about you guys but I love going 120mph at the track with foggy windows.

these bilge fans move something like 250 CFM of air. A gutted car is already hot as hell, mines black, so even hotter. I don't think I'll really need a heating element to keep the windshield clear. I'll go for it and use a coat of rain-x if necessary. I'll post up results.
If it doesn't work, I'll hook it up to the intake and have a supercharger on demand

Edit: Check this out. This is a 360 Watt 12V hair dryer. It needs 40 amps of current so it would need some good wire, maybe run to the battery or the main fuse panel, but no big deal. Plus if it is overkill, a series resistor would chill it out a bit, pun intended. They say you 'need' the power strip, but I'll bet some good wiring would substitute for that, unless it is changing the voltage.

Funk dat. IMO this stuff is demanding/dangerous enough without having to deal with preventable visibility issues. I hope it is not raining at TWS next weekend. I already removed my blower, and the heater core is not plumbed
