<DIV>Slow is a relative term so it may be that it is running as fast as it can –
or not. If the bushings in the motor are gunked up that can slow the
motor. First I’d lubricate them to see if it helps. A number of people use
the MG Midget/MGB fan motor. It is shorter than the stock motor, but if I recall
correctly from the CAT shop notes it is stated to be faster. While my memory is
from years ago I recall it seeming to turn faster than the original motor. I
doubt because of the limited space the heater radiator can be improved.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Beyond that it is probably R&D for a motor/fan improvement.
Thankfully heater motors are very adaptable if you have a decent assortment of
tools. If it is any inspiration I use the stated the MG Midget motor/fan
on the heater in my Turbo Pinto. The original fan motor intrudes the
engine bay and interferes with the wastegate down spout. In this case the
shorter motor/fan provides the clearance. I have to run the motor backwards and
the MG fan is smaller than the Pinto housing but it still gets the job done –
for So. Cal..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A thought just occurred to me. If the fan motor was put on a dual pole,
reversing switch on hot days the interior air could be blown across the heater
core and exit externally. This might be helpful for over heating issues –
for the car and the driver.</DIV>

<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Though my Tiger 1A is tucked away for the Massachusetts winter, thoughts of
improvements/fix-ups still pass through my head. This question is about the
anemic demister/heater system.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Two components make up this system</DIV>
<DIV>1) the blower with the squirrel cage fan</DIV>
<DIV>2) the heater radiator</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The blower fan seems like it could use a redesign. SOOOO slow. Mine is
working same as it ever was. Anybody tried upgrading this?</DIV>
<DIV>The radiator seems awfully small. Any smart-guy thoughts on this?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anything else I should be thinking of? Any Ideas?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Even if the heater isn't regularly used, I'd like to be able to count on
the system to defog the windshield.
<DIV> </DIV>
