Anybody ever tried to improve the heater/ fan? I've had 4 festivas and all of the heaters don't produce.....................much!!

Glad you asked!
I'm currently working on a woodburning stove upgrade as we speak.
Piezoelectric ignition, one into four "header style" smokestacks, custom paint job (moose and penguin scenery) and automatic ash ejection feature are some of the highlights!
I'm currently looking for a nice cordwood trailer to haul the fuel.
It'll be fantastic!

Yeah a B6 swap makes enough heat.
It's a good thing you don't read the stickies, you might of learned something.

ha ha
but seriously, a blower motor that could push air faster would be cool. I find mine on max is really weak.89SX funtop! Fully loaded!

Just remember, more heat less gas milage.

Have you looked at your heater core? it could be plugged causing a reduction in air flow. I know mine seems to blow pretty good when I have it on max, I have actually been using number 2 instead cause I find it blows more heat instead of acting as a cooling fan when the car is idling.Originally posted by stefan90 festiva BP/G25MR swap, spec v seats, aspire brakes, FMS springs, round headlight conversion with HID's, custom exhaust, fiberglass hood, and a whole lotta bodywork

The heater in my winterstiva is by far the best Festiva heat I have had. I have to turn it down even when ts real cold outside, it will roast you out!Comment

A person should also check their thermostat... There was a couple posts about it here not to long ago... Get the proper 2 stage one not the cheap single stage bulk parts store replacement....

I had a festiva with the lame t-stat and it never hit the bottom (cold end) of the operating range. It ran cold all the time. When it was 15 degrees outside it would still roast me out. I've never had a festiva with a bad heater.youtube.com/neanderpaul 88 festiva LX w/BP G25 MR 5 speed waiting for wiring- 93 Festiva GL auto w/ air, waiting for B6t/G4A-HL - 98 Nissan Quest - 02 Mazda protege 5 wife's DDComment
