Part four of the ceramic element installation. Today I mounted the element to the heater core permanently, all that is needed now is the caulking.

I know that trick works for alot of people though.. Thanks a bunch, I kinda took the idea from Gav’s (cant7think7clearly) design on his 11th video and added my own little twist
Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to rate and subscribe!

Very very true.. …
Very very true.. see I have a 97 Chrysler Cirrus that has been running like crap for a very long time and I have definitely considered dropping in a manual and converting it into an EV.

I put a 5-speed manual in my 1985 Chrysler LeBaron convertible. Between that and upgrading it to a TII turbo, it’s a completely different car. Very fast and very fun.

I was thinking …
I was thinking parhaps a sheet of tin or somthing on the back end of that duct just where the heater core is realy close could stop a melting point or somthing.

The Neon is an auto …
The Neon is an auto, but converting it to a manual would be no big deal. Just need the transmission, cables, shifter and one CV axle.

Hey man that sounds …
Hey man that sounds awesome.. Is it an auto or manual? Manuals work best, and they are what people usually convert but Norm (n2confusion) converted an automatic Geo Metro and it worked pretty well. Sounds like a great project, upload some videos if you do the conversion.

I’ve been doing …
I’ve been doing homework on the whole EV conversion thing and hope to get a project rolling in the next year or so. My wife got transferred, so we’re moving to a new town and I need to figure out little things like making some money after I tell my boss and leave town. Once we get settled, though, I’m going to try to get one started. I have a ‘95 Neon with 210K on the clock I might declare the electric car project. I’ll let you know how things work out once we get settled.

Yup, Gav and I are good buddies haha.. I’ve seen that video and that was what I was going to do, but I looked at the element and it looked like the heater core could possibly short it out so I definitely wanted the element insulated.

YouTube doesn’t …
YouTube doesn’t seem to be letting me include a URL, but if you go to the cant7think7clearly channel and look at episode 11, you can see how he did it. Granted, he just glued it in with hi-temp silicone. I like your mounting setup a lot better.
June 16th, 2009 at 5:33 am
I have definitely …
I have definitely considered that.. I’m pretty sure I would mangle it more than I want to. I’d hate to screw it up now that I have it working. I also considered ditching the whole heater core, and just mounting the element on a metal plate. I wasn’t sure how I would mount that in the ducting though.

Why don’t you chop …
Why don’t you chop some more heater core away and mount the ceramic element onto the metal plate? You’ll get more clearance and much better airflow.
