Looking for an AC plastic housing- ANY condition - No evap or fan needed

[Luis A.]

Hi guys,

I'm researching alternative blower fan options for improved AC air flow in the cabin. In order to trial different things, I'd like to have a housing to play with since I have found it not possible to remove the plastic housing from the car without having to disconnect the refrigerant lines and pull the whole unit off the console, which I'd like to avoid.

This one:

Does anyone have one that I could buy or even borrow for a little while to try some things out. Of course, any IP resulting from this effort would be published here. Thanks, Luis

E3 and E9 the same? Not sure.

 

[Luis A.]

Good question... It's the same.

I have one, let me dig it out and check condish. Happy to contribute to this noble cause which is of much interest to me because of my toasty climate

 

[Luis A.]

Thank you Steve. Besides improving airflow I’m looking at also utilizing something that can be reliably sourced. I’ve already gone through two fans since I installed the AC 5-6 years ago. They were both used but of course looked perfectly good in the beginning with no bearing noise and well balanced when spinning at speed.

Is this what you need:

 

[Luis A.]

It is. I’ll connect w you on email.

This would be a great upgrade if there’s an alternative. Quick question, where’s the ground for the fans? I heard “it’s hard to get to”

All Sold: 1971 2800CS Part Out

A Seattle BMW friend @Vitaliy semenyuk is parting his project. Some may remember this car Verona-painted car from CoPart several years ago. The car suffered a minor engine fire that put the vehicle in a salvage status. I doubt that salvage title would have been issued in 2020 given the value...

Luis,
I didn't see this thread until now, coincidentally one day after I just pulled mine. If you haven't arranged for one from Steve, let me know (since you're right up the road).

Thanks Stephen. I did receive one from Steve on loan and the experiments are underway, albeit slowed down by the good weather and the need for speed...
