Heater plumbing for Hayabusa
ptrxly - 30/3/07 at 04:39 PM

Has anyone plumbed a heater to their Hayabusa powered car? I was wondering which hoses to tap into. My current plan is to place it in parallel with the radiator. I'm concerned that there will not be sufficient flow to the heater and will have to wait for the thermostat to open until I get heat.
'Any ideas?

Not sure - mine doesn't have one, but with a motor that costs that much, i'd be pretty happy for it to warm up correctly with the thermostat closed before it warms me...

I have one on my R1. I teed into one of the pipes that feeds into the thermostat. It flows out into the pipe that goes from the bottom of the radiator back into the engine.

I find that in really cold weather, there isn't enough heat to make the heater worth while but in slightly cool weather, or late in the evening it works well.
